Let's see Samourai fans, I think you are missing the point because you are like a cult and have been blinded by Samourai's aggressive marketing.

The first thing is that Samourai is a company, the data of the companies are public, I am not doing any doxxing by showing the public registration data of your company in UK.

Do you understand now that the mask is all marketing? How is Samourai going to protect you if the government knows who are the owners of the company and its workers?

Why wasabi must comply with the law and samourai doesn't? what makes them different? do you think the uk and canadian government will allow illicit activities of a legal company?

I understand that you feel offended, it usually happens when someone shows you the truth.

It is stupid to use Samourai, using Samourai means trusting a third party, you will never know the code they run on their servers, the best thing you can do is to fork their code and create a community coordinator where several people can certify that the code is running, even so, you will have to trust the reputation of those people.

You have solutions in which you are the coordinator (solving the trust problem mentioned above) and are decentralized such as joinmarket and joinstr (still under development).

Answer these questions:

Coinjoin facilitates illicit activities?

Is a government going to allow a company to profit from the coinjoin business by enabling illicit activities?

If the government allows this company, on what conditions is it allowed to operate?

Again, all this has happened to Wasabi, why not to Samourai? The difference is that Wasabi made it public, question of ethics.

Join market is the place for now.

Not sure about the rest. Got tired of the Samurai/Wasabi BS so I use join market

Lol

Canadians are getting 'protected' extra hard

Yes

More thought is needed about spending precious sats. Are we going to keep them in strong hands or send them through another cycle till they land in strong hands again for the sake of "spend replace" mantra.

Currently we have hosted channels on lightning (Ex: SATM & Dundee channels). If these HC could be dynamic, as in being able to change size depending on how many sats you put in, there is no need for any ecash/fedimint.

Since the newbie needs to deposit BTC into a ecash/fedimint protocol to get started, why can't they just stay on lightning?
