Whirlpool enthusiasts please enlighten me.

I have tried to coinjoin on several occasions and it never works.

The last time I remixed a tx 6 times, and was very careful, and when I checked it through kycp.org it showed 0 bits of entropy and a single interpretation.

Am I doing something wrong or what? I'm just about done with fucking around with this stuff.

I used whirlpool for a long time, now I just pop in and out of lightning. Easier and faster

IIRC when you've remixed that many times it might be breaking the calculator because of the amount of entropy. Is this a post mix transaction?

copied from my reply in this thread:

I don't understand enough about this topic to really elaborate.

I've used good practices - not consolidating, not using the doxic change, sent the post-mix tx straight into cold storage.

that site was recommended to verify that the deterministic links have been broken.

I'm just going to have to take the time one of these weekends to review all of the information about whirlpool and make sure I'm not missing something. I just hate to spend sats on enhanced privacy only to be unsure it's actually effective.

I would trust the Boltzmann Calculator. It's available on RoninDojo. It's unlikely that you remixed 6 times and have deterministic links. The single interpretation should be it's a coinjoin because it's very apparent. You're also benefiting from your mixing partners who stayed in the pool and are getting remixes.

Ty for the resource, I'll check it out!

Not sure what you are describing exactly

First you send uxtos into whirlpool to get deterministic links broken, then you spend them afterwords with a number of different post mix coin join transctions tools.

Take some time and watch the Samourai videos, they are all very good.

Appreciate the link, ty!
