I’m here to help you. Let’s get things rolling again in a new privacy era!
I'm going to continue developing #Wasabi. I'm not talking about maintainance only but actual development.
Of course that without coinjoins there won't be any significant income, if any, to pay my salary, or at least no in the middle/long term, however that sets a clear goal for the short term: downsize it all. It doesn't sound great, but it is.
Wasabi was born as a light bitcoin wallet but with the time it became bigger and bigger. But now, zkSNACKs won't run the coinjoin coordinator anymore, all what is corporate-ish, such as Terms and Conditions, Web site, chainanalysis integration, affiliation integration, etc, etc, can finally be removed. All what made the code complex and that was great for marketing like "plebs don't pay", "friends don't pay" can finally be removed.
Wasabi needs to be also downsized to be maintainable for a couple of guys and that means we can remove things that are still there for reasons that I don't agree with, like the "password finder" among many others. I started doing that a few years ago in what I called Wasabito (little Wasabi) but then I went back to contribute to Wasabi, anyway, here you can have a better idea of what I had, and still have, in mind: https://github.com/lontivero/Wasabito/commits/master/
-------------
These opinions are my own and I don't know whether zkSNACks decision making team agrees with me or not. Anyway, it is what I think should be done.
