What are the risks to doing a coinjoin, do you risk exchanges or miners blacklisting your Bitcoin if asked to by .gov?

Theoretically, unlikely the government could censor your transactions via miners though, at least effectively. Getting it back on an exchange is foreseeably an issue, at least for tax purposes. Other than that nothing really, some innocent people have been roped into frivolous legal trouble because of false positives of their bitcoin being spent on illegal goods, but this seems to be unraveling quickly because assuming you are mixing hard enough there is really no way to prove where your money went, and thats being shown in court.

If your goal is to sell bitcoins on an exchange, don't Coinjoin from your main stack if UTXOs aren't managed in different addresses.

Re: unless you're gonna spend or don't mind not being able to deal with exchanges for a particular UTXO or set of UTXOs, then don't bother with Coinjoin.

Also, p2p Bitcoin exchanges are going to be the norm in the future imho.

They are also viable today.
