Samourai no longer has Whirlpool, it was shutdown, so the privacy offered is considerably less than what it once was.

And even then it's privacy wasn't cheap, fast, or as robust as Monero offers. It also required you to run your own Dojo which most users simply aren't going to do.

What about stonewall 1 and 2, ricochet, and stowaway? Did they go the way whirlpool did?

Haven't had a chance to do the research on the back end -- didn't realize any of this was centralized enough to be shut downable.

Stonewalls and Stowaways are still possible I think.

Not sure what was so special about Ricochet, but it's down too - it just moved your coins a few addresses before sending to an exchange which anyone can do themselves.

Sad part is they were in the process of decentralizing coordinators for Whirlpool and implementing Monero atomic swaps. Suspicious timing for the feds to show up for sure.
