If you do fidelity bonds for sybil resistance, there's not much that distinguishes it from JM, except for a nostr relay orderbook instead of p2p gossiping. That does protect IPs (if you dont use tor) but I would still say it's just a marginal improvement.
The point of zerolink is not protecting IPs, it's to break all deterministic links using equal output coinjoins. I actually see a future in which JM or your proposal could implement it. It could be something like an "advanced coinjoin market pool" that would require a previous tx0 type transaction that guarantees the utxo to mix is compliant with the pool amount.
What can be made better? Do you have anything in mind to address the concerns above? Or would it require a totally new design?
No sybil resistance?
No zerolink?
I'll sit this one out. I applaud the experimentation but hope everyone that tries it is aware of the implications.
That's how I've always played. Meta is to save action cards to the end so that you can defend.
Is nostr changing?
Devs, do not sleep on Nostr Wallet Connect. Nostr allows you to link any app with any other app in this world. No IP addresses, no ports, no NAT, no firewalls, no bullshit.
Soon coming to a Cashu wallet near you.

I'm sleeping on it until it's possible to pay an npub directly without lnurl.
Who cares about hodling when you can just use it
Don't worry, here we had morons that said 100k by halving was certain, 1M by eoY...
I don't know who is worse tbh
I agree. When degens are not degening, bitcoin is a ghost town. There's no need for scaling for this level of adoption.
Maybe there's a middle ground that does not involve overreacting to every fee spike.
It would probably have to operate out of a red place. That’s basically Africa or

Or just tor-only
100% zapless polls. Polls are useless right now.
Sure thing. If you participate in a 2 person coinjoin, you can "obviously" unmix it since you know what inputs and outputs are yours (the remaining ones are form the other participant).
So if you use payjoin with a merchant, you gain privacy from 3rd parties (chain analysis, criminals, IRS, etc) but you gain no privacy from that merchant itself, since he also is participating in the coinjoin.
A payjoin is just a special kind of coinjoin done with the merchant. The merchant obviously knows how to unmix it, so it does not protect you from him specifically.
Coinjoin is not about protecting the source of the utxos but the destination.
It hides your spending.
If you have 100% no-kyc (good for you, you absolutely should), and spend 1 btc on a car, use that change and spend 1M on a gun, the person you bought the car from can figure out you bought a gun.
There's many instances of joinmarket CJs getting demixed, you search for it.
You just need to look at any block explorer to see that it is not even a fair fight.
It does not look like you understand what coinjoins are for.
