I would say Wasabi has a much easier UX with automatic coinjoins.

Wp also auto pools after you join. But I agree with ease/bettercUX.

But doesn't the ease come with tradeoff of loss of control of keys?

What do you mean by auto pools after you join? I always have to manually mix my coins in Samourai.

I’m not too familiar with your second point but would it not be the same when using Samourai’s centralized coordinator as opposed to mixing from your own node?

You have an option to choose how many mix you do, or can do infinity until you stop.

You also have control over each wallet for the phase. Pre mix, mix, post. I have them all loaded in electrum to monitor.

I've had coins get stuck before and easily recovered because of this key control.

Tbf, I haven't played enough with Wasabi, but mainly because I thought there was a central service in the mixing phase where you lost control of keys.

Ohh yeah once you’ve mixed once, remixing is automated.

You might be right about there being a part where you lose control of your keys, need to do more research on that. In that case it would be a good pro for WP.

I definitely recommend trying Wasabi just for the UX but I hate that they use CA.

Another tradeoff for WP is you can only mix fixed amounts whereas you can mix any amount with Wasabi.

Not saying Wasabi is better, I personally prefer WP’s zero deterministic link but having used both, I have to say that Wasabi has a better UX for now.

Ohhh interesting!!!
