Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful responses really appreciate the wide range of views. It's exactly the kind of nuanced feedback I hoped for when I lit the initial match here.


That said, I’m thinking about setting up a small experiment watching how different mixers’ UTXOs behave when they’re moved through public non-KYC services, or even when they sit idle. Just for curiosity. I’ve been tracking some wallets manually, but I'm considering a script that compares the "AML karma" of Whirlpool vs Wasabi vs JoinMarket outputs over time.


Would anyone here be interested in that kind of analysis? Or is it too niche?


Also, has anyone tried combining mixed outputs with multisig or OP_VAULT-like setups? Is that OPSEC overkill or just paranoid enough to matter?
