Maybe trust was not the correct word; you always are in control of your coins but you are using a third party service: they could collect data, they could be forced to provide data by other parties, they could shut down the service overnight, etc…

Moreover, Wasabi works with chain analysis companies while it is not so clear how anonymizing is Whirlpool considering that the majority of the users are not using their private full node and so Samourai knows the zpub of almost every users that use their services…

In the end there is a centralized entity to orchestrate the Coinjoin that you have to trust. And both those projects have lights and shadows… X is full of discussions about that also involving the two teams most of the time with hard and bad language… I prefer to use a decentralized system that does not require any third party trust!

PS: Whitney is amazing! Thank you for everything you do! 🫂🙏🧡

Diyana, that is the GitHub link of JoinMarket… try to start from there but the implementation is not so straightforward if you are not a bit technical…

There is JAM that is a nice easy interface to use it but you have to deploy a full node, JoinMarket and JAM.

Probably the easiest way is to use nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll OS that gives a full node, JoinMarket, JAM and many other services:

Avoid them, you must trust the mixers because, in order to do the mixes, you have to give them your bitcoin!

Better you use the Coinjoin technology and the best implementation in my opinion is JoinMarket even if it is not the easiest one:

Other solutions can be Wasabi and Whirlpool but I do not recommended them for different reasons.
