How could you possibly reach the conclusion that a Samourai coinjoin would give you more anonymity than a WabiSabi coinjoin? For example, even if you disregarded ALL of the possibilities created from input and output decomposition, there's still 5 inputs and 8 outputs of the 0.05 denomination in this coinjoin compared to a Whirlpool coinjoin that has only 5 inputs and 5 outputs of the 0.05 denomination:

I would rather use privacy tools which provide consistent privacy (samourai, sparrow) over a tool which may sometimes provide privacy (wasabi). I think #[3] 's strongest point is that of verifiability. You need to be able to verify the privacy gained by mixes. And it must to be consistent.

A simple guide for verifying the privacy gained from samourai/sparrow mixes would be right up your alley, #[4] right? I have seen the devs post pics of some verification tools on Twitter but I don't think they have made a simple guide for it yet. Would be awesome to be proven wrong.

Your Wasabi analyzes the anonscore of every transaction after it happens.

Wasabi was the Bitcoin wallet that calculates some anonymity level, and it's still by far the most sophisticated.

What Seth is concerned about, is that you cannot PREDICT what outputs and anonscore a future coinjoin will bring you. That's great, because the attacker can't predict it either.

No need to trust my words, here is the code, read it.

I don’t have the technical acumen to understand the code in a meaningful way, but I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to witness the reports, discussion, dialogue here, as we all work toward a better system through many iterations.

Grateful for the work you guys are all doing 🙏
