why do you call it wabisabi
Discussion
WabiSabi is the name of the coinjoin protocol that Wasabi Wallet, BTCPay Server, and Trezor all use, while Whirlpool is what Samourai and Sparrow use.
Since each client may have different settings, comparing the protocols themselves is the best way to determine which is best for blockchain level privacy.
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that emphasizes the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. It is a worldview that values authenticity, simplicity, and humility. The concept is rooted in Zen Buddhism, which emphasizes the importance of finding beauty in the ordinary and the imperfect.
Wabi-sabi celebrates the natural cycle of growth and decay, and sees beauty in the flaws and irregularities that come with age and use. It is a reminder that nothing is permanent, and that we should appreciate the present moment for what it is. Wabi-sabi encourages us to find beauty in simplicity and to embrace the imperfect and the unfinished.
In art and design, wabi-sabi is often expressed through the use of natural materials, such as wood and stone, and through the incorporation of irregular shapes and textures. It is also reflected in the use of muted and subdued colors, and in the acceptance of asymmetry and unevenness.
We named our new coinjoin coordination protocol this way, because Bitcoin privacy is broken and imperfect. However, we can take the shattered pieces, put them together in just the right way, pour gold into the cracks, and thus we build a beautifully functional anonymous money system.
