The xpub issue is an issue though, should be addressed if they really are the good actors they claim to be.

this is such tired fud

if you connect any wallet to any node other than one you control the node operator will have your xpub

this is not Samourai specific that is how most nodes work

the first screen on samourai asks if you want to connect to your own node and to enable tor

the entire samourai community is about self sovereignty and teaching others how to obtain it

plus clark moody dashboard shows that over 2% of nodes on the network are ronindojo nodes

ronin dojo nodes are the best purpose build nodes on the market and easy to run

the Whirlpool coordinator is blind and each connection has a new tor route

txo breaks all deterministic links

the samourai team are currently decentralizing the whirlpool coordinator and making multi party txo

samourai have provided examples of other coin join implementations failing, they operate oxt which provides the same if not better blockchain analysis to the people so as to be able to understand what their actions look like

just because they write better code and provide better tools doesn’t give people the right to slander them as undercover feds

It's just the mobile app defaulting to their node being the issue, which you didn't allude to a single time in your write up!

Why run such a node at all?

Just force users to be sovereign or bust, why are they doing this if they're motivated by such pure intentions?

I thought they were for the streets?

it is the first thing I mentioned

the first screen asks you to connect to your own node

how do you think any wallet works for anyone who doesn’t run their own node? it is a service

why no such concern over every other wallet?

how do you go from if you use this wallet without your own node the wallet will know your xpub to they are 50% feds?

Honestly, if you need to install some software just to be private on ONE mobile wallet, why not just install electrs and be private on several supporting desktop and mobile wallets (nunchuk, electrum, sparrow, etc...)

it is not just some software, it is a full node

ronin dojo is a debian based os & runs bitcoin, fulcrum electrum server, mempool, whirlpool & more

connect both samourai mobile and sparrow desktop to it

Run your own dojo and that addresses the issue
