the website i have bookmarked is arkpills.me but now its arklabs.to

is brick still part of your team ?

as this is how ark was introduced-

I’m excited to publicly introduce Ark: a second-layer protocol for making cheap, anonymous, off-chain Bitcoin payments.

here’s another paragraph

Ark provides an order of magnitude greater level of privacy than Lightning. Every payment on the protocol takes place in a coinjoin round. This obfuscates the trace from the sender to the receiver. The anonymity set is everyone who involves in a payment.

are the above mentioned coin joins still part of ark or they have been removed ?

I wouldn’t rely too much on early details or announcements regarding Ark. Though the core principles remain, most of the implementation details were kind of half baked.

The idea of coinjoining every batch is not supported by current implementations.

It’s not.

Ark is just a protocol. Anyone is free to implement it with the features they see fit.

If anyone wants to accelerate progress of a coinjoin feature they are free to contribute a pull request.
