I suspect them doing attempting to decentralize it rushed the seizure.

Does not compare in terms of privacy gained. Ir leaks some deterministic links, does not maximize entropy.

Iirc joinmarket txs have been unmixed in the past by CA.

Weren't Sparrow and Bitcoin Keeper collecting Whirlpool fees as well? Aren't they in danger?

I was not recommending it, just making an observation.

Monero devs should definitely be afraid now...

Let's think about the fact that Ethereum's TornadoCash is more censorship resistant than Bitcoin's Whirlpool. TornadoCash is smarts contract based, and still running today despite the devs being arrested 1 year ago.

If you say joinmarket 1 more time... Joinmarket does not even compare. What we need is an alternative ZeroLink coinjoin implementation that is decentralized from the start.

I'm really torn between using onion relays vs outbox model since they are completely incompatible

You're using an onion relay, that's step!

It is the same thing.

Arguing otherwise is like saying that if criminals encrypt their messages it's called "message laundering" and if non-criminals do it, it's just message privacy...

Money laundering is a made-up crime, much like wrongthink in 1984.

I found the retardest take 👇

Lmao docs website is still up: https://docs.samourai.io/wallet/restore-recovery

When github took down youtube-dl repo over copyright violations, I regretted not having a local copy of the repo.

Now same shit. It costs so few disk space to keep some code around. Let's make it a habit to just clone repos around just in case.

Tbf, wallet still works if you use your own dojo

Maybe that motivated the DoJ move, who knows...

Ngl, this is a huge punch in the gut, I'm legit sad. If whirlpool does not come back up, it's a huge L for privacy on bitcoin. Maybe app-level privacy really is not enough.

Their node is down, if you use their node, the wallet won't load. You just need to recover the wallet in any other wallet software.

If you are on amethyst, you can see my repo:

Yes, from a Ted talk iirc

Most users likely did not use their node, just the blinded coordinator.

Most liquidity comes from 24-7 remixers who run their own dojo.

I find it unlikely that a single coinjoin gets demixed.

This is a quote from Snowden, seemingly without attribution

You can announce multiple remote git servers for your repo but you still need public git servers to host it
