Banger song https://open.spotify.com/track/4r78MzXCMGiYK3YnlbhGJb nostr:note1wlknaers4jfntvk49htax5rnuk53pqp5cn76wwstzva8hmt4cc2sx5ey9l

As far as I remember the song ID should be something like:

Meet her at the love parade

This one sounds forced...๐Ÿคจ

Haha. Our kindness will anger them ๐Ÿฅฐ

Let's try this... ๐Ÿ˜‹

With respect, while I donโ€™t think the 80 byte OP_RETURN thing should actually be filtered because itโ€™s a lot point by now, there IS a critically important difference between filtering and censoring in this context:

โ€ข One is a question of WHAT is allowed in the bitcoin chain, which is a universal policy. Every node does this and this is similar to arguments with RBF and the like. In a sense, this is the only thing bitcoin does, is filter with extreme prejudice, WHAT goes into the chain.

โ€” there is an argument to be had on whether the byte issue is good/bad, but itโ€™s not censoring privacy transactions or coinjoins. Itโ€™s a filter that *happens* to catch one kind.

โ€ข The other is a question of WHO gets into the blockchain. F2Pool here had the audacity to claim that a certain address, with a certain balance, is owned by some โ€œevilโ€ people because some govt body, without trial or due process, has declared their evil acts and demanded punishment & eviction from market activities.

Regardless of whether this particular kind of filtering should be considered good, or that it potentially sets a bad precedent, they are not the same thing in terms of the danger and subjectivity of the decisions.

Deciding WHAT goes into the chain is a process of defining the bitcoin system, deciding WHO can get into the chain is censorship and violating the basic tenant of neutrality.

The phrase isnโ€™t โ€œBitcoin is for everything,โ€ itโ€™s โ€œBitcoin is for everyone. nostr:note14hm0a4xz7v5dmsmslj6h694vmnlytc59k4mv2s254clm3zdcpzmsujjv3x

From any Whirpool Tx0 you can get the unmixed changes from users and trace them, it doesn't matter if these changes are in the initial Tx0 or not, the blockchain is there. It is a marketing deception and lack of understanding of how a coinjoin works by its users.

It is also a marketing deception to pay fees to the coordinator to avoid a Sybil attack, it is simply more expensive for the common mortals but not for any spy agency. Moreover, in Whirpool's case, the attacker will only have to pay once for each group of trackers introduced into the system indefinitely.

It also adds that some of its users are de-anonymized because they give up their xpub and even their ip if they do not enable tor.

I am very impressed by the lack of compression of their ninja users, obviously the mixed coins are mixed as in the other coinjoin implementations, neither more nor less, with its advantages and disadvantages. For example in joinmarket if you understand and use correctly the Mixdepths you forget the toxic change as this will end up being mixed and therefore at some point will be lost track, just use coins from the last Mixdepths, and when you pay use the collaborative sending, with which the remaining change of your mixed coins will also be difficult to track as it will be along with the change of the other participants, with these two tips you have all the premix and postmix tools you need but without toxic marketing.

Coinjoin beginner here. This sounds very complicated.

Can you point me / other #nostriches to some easy to follow resource on how to properly use #whirlpool / #coinjoin?

Is it feasible for acceptable level of privacy to just use wasabi wallet mixing?

I'll be hard pressed to use anything other than nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n 's GreenWallet now that it has the easiest to use self-custodial mobile lightning wallet on the market. Onboarding someone with this wallet is about as easy as it was with Wallet of Satoshi ; user downloads GreenWallet, adds a lightning wallet, and you send them some sats via lightning to get their wallet started. They get inbound liquidity from the LSP and subsequent deposits over the initial channel require a small fee to enlarge the channel via splicing. In addition to this excellent first step, users are then able to expand into on-chain btc, and liquid all under the same simple 12 word recovery (I tested recovering the wallet into Green Wallet, and even the lightning wallet was just as I left it). The UI is also fantastic, it's the gold standard as far as I'm concerned and the wallet I'll be suggesting to new btc users ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Get the wallet today and test out sending 10000 sats to justbrian@blixtwallet.com as well today ๐Ÿ˜‰

This thing could be a game changer. Started experimenting with Liquid and swaps a few weeks ago.

The wallet feels really stable and predictable using Sideswap and Boltz.

Will try out the lighting implementation soon

Fact checking done right ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Cheers mate! Enjoy Karlsruhe. One of my favorite cities in the south.
