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?
I would say there is a huge but silent demand for open source AML tools for this type of thing. After being burned once, you are quickly forced to engage in alternative methods such as using Monero instead. The risk of sending very badly tainted coins is simply too high with some types of mixers. This would be a very good project/tool.
Also, has anyone tried combining mixed outputs with multisig or OP_VAULT-like setups? Is that OPSEC overkill or just paranoid enough to matter?
I don't think that I have seen this.
