Bitcoiners have undervalued this self custody tool.

What are the risks to doing a coinjoin, do you risk exchanges or miners blacklisting your Bitcoin if asked to by .gov?
Theoretically, unlikely the government could censor your transactions via miners though, at least effectively. Getting it back on an exchange is foreseeably an issue, at least for tax purposes. Other than that nothing really, some innocent people have been roped into frivolous legal trouble because of false positives of their bitcoin being spent on illegal goods, but this seems to be unraveling quickly because assuming you are mixing hard enough there is really no way to prove where your money went, and thats being shown in court.
If your goal is to sell bitcoins on an exchange, don't Coinjoin from your main stack if UTXOs aren't managed in different addresses.
Re: unless you're gonna spend or don't mind not being able to deal with exchanges for a particular UTXO or set of UTXOs, then don't bother with Coinjoin.
Also, p2p Bitcoin exchanges are going to be the norm in the future imho.
They are also viable today.
Not sure I would want to coinjoin via a corporate tool? Seems like it could involve a fair amount of trust potentially.
Could. How to eliminate it?
Maybe if there's a spec to coinjoin with any user-selected coordinator?
💯
This is understandable, but to an extent perfect can be the enemy of good.
For someone who just wants to save & spend directly from their main stack this makes a ton of sense.
I also think it's a nice part of a multisig quorum.
You can get a Trezor one & a Seedsigner for a multivendor multisig putting that cost at under 200$ is world class bang for your buck.
There's no trust required, Trezor's coinjoin account uses Tor and compact block filters so your IP address and xpub address are not shared with them.
Would you not get something smart by using multiple smaller utxos in different addresses? I would tend to be cheaper than the 3% coinjoin fee, I think. Satoshi suggested a different address for each transaction as I recall.
You would & if your coins are nonkyc then Coinjoin is less useful for you in general, especially if you expertly manage UTXOs like you are describing here.
