Replying to Avatar Seth For Privacy

Goal for this week is to put out a blog post with a summary of my thoughts on Samourai, Wasabi, and JoinMarket.

The idea is to be as open and honest about tradeoffs of each as I can, but I admittedly have very little experience with JM so that will be only a short section.

Any specific points of interest you'd like to see covered for any of those three?

Any core comparisons that would be helpful for you all?

Also, not super clear to me what risks are introduced by whirlpool coordinator being centralized and/or how they plan to address it with the decentralized things being built, they don’t seem too good at/interested in explaining things to non dev types.

Current understanding is there’s a risk they could know who the other utxos in a mix belong to because people use their node, so it introduces a similar problem like wasabi has if not reaaaaaally knowing how many rounds of mixing is enough to truly guarantee privacy even from them. #[2]
