It must be tough that Lazarus Group didn't use Monero and also decided to mix $248 million (and counting) in Wasabi.
Reality is what it is. Facts, theories, and speculations are all well and good while you're having a few beers with your friends, but then reality sets in.
Funny how Wasabi is still running while the Samourai guys are in jail.
That's always weirded me out a little.
It's not that they'll gonna catch all of them. Their intention is grab one or two and make an example to others what could happen if they fuck around.
It's the tactic yo scare others not to build this stuff.
Is there any significant coordinator for Wasabi other than nostr:nprofile1qqsqh808ch5z6fkzs45s5y7dzeq5nfdqaccnrwv39cwqhvmvv668r2cpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcfz5pfs? And why not? 🤔
Not that I know of , but since anyone can become a wasabi coordinator, I believe there might be others but they are mostly private.
Hmm... what's the point of private coinjoin coordinators? And how would they get liquidity?
What's the difference to coinjoin with others or to coinjoin with your wallets and mix those and send the outputs to new addresses. Nobody can tell if that's 13 people or just 1.
Okay, we're drifting off.
The point I want to make is, that we currently have only one (public) coordinator with significant liquidity.
I am glad nostr:nprofile1qqsqh808ch5z6fkzs45s5y7dzeq5nfdqaccnrwv39cwqhvmvv668r2cpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcfz5pfs is doing this service. However applying "don't trust, verify" to the situation makes it strange (or should I say suspicious)?

Oh pardon me 😄
Everyone are looking for the coordinator with most liquidity. And 0% fees are also tempting to most of us.
Even I. I didn't think twice which one to choose. I follow the herd 🐑
That's a problem. Looking at the nostr:nprofile1qqszfn67p6jlle0qsj7lwx2l0ylxpse83e0x56qe5euxtwgwnyzdfqgpz4mhxue69uhkg6t5w3hjuur4vghhyetvv9usz9thwden5te0v4jx2m3wdehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv8xlnk8 coordinator for example, it seems it would be enough to have 2 or 3 more extra people to bootstrap it completely.
You won't gain anonymity but a level of privacy enough to make it hard for most people to track you.
There is a centralizing force, yes. But it's also some convenience in decentralizing the liquidity and it would also be good to use smaller coordinators.
Every few weeks there is enough liquidity registering to https://coinjoin.nl 🕶️ but I’m in no way useful to the people that want to anonymise 100+ BTC, as my typical liquidity is several million sats with ~4 anonscore.
Just a curiosity: since Wasabi's very first version, there have always been other Wasabi coordinators. You can find them in the blockchain.
I'm not sure what the tweet post is saying but I think nostr:nprofile1qqsf80gvdu7vhtj88z9srtrvuzevqyc3fh9yczxkufcj6nlhzsz68scpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqg0waehxw309aek7mr0vdhjumnvmxmjyh was rebuild to be more resilient. Am I wrong?
