If Whirlpool didn't work and wasn't dangerous to the state why are the Samourai Wallet devs going to jail for making it?
What side are you on? To me it's clear that the cypherpunk heart of Bitcoin lives with Samourai Wallet and mixers.

And which side was samourai on, telling lies about other technologies:
- telling lies about joinmarket
- telling lies about wasabi
- telling lies about lightning network
- telling lies about nostr.
Tell me, which side were they on?
They criticized everyone and were scammers because they sold a zerolink coordinator that was never zerolink.
It's your problem that you're lazy.
Haha, just judge by the fruit. Monero is persecuted by the state with extensive regulation causing delistings from major exchanges and constantly shutting down nonKYC exchanges like TradeOgre and Majestic Bank. Why? It's effective.
Mixing tech like Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash were persecuted by the state with Lawfare and jail time. Why? Because they were effective.
There's a reason why lightning is basically unregulated and we've seen no state attacks against it. Same for Wasabi. But projects like Ashigaru have nym devs hosted on the darknet.
Judge by the fruits. When you get into the weeds you can rationalize anything, just step back and look from the outside.
