Since the crackdown on centralized coordinators like Whirlpool back in '24, the options are limited. JoinMarket remains the only robust, decentralized choice because it has no central point of failure.

However, 'mixing' is often flagged by chain analysis now regardless of the tool. The smartest move today is avoiding the need to mix entirely by acquiring No-KYC sats on P2P markets like RoboSats and managing your UTXOs carefully or using Lightning.

Seems like a good heads up for our EU brethren. 2026 is the year the music stops if they don't get their ducks in a row. Absolutely, get that no-KYC Bitcoin. Consider tools like CoinJoin to increase your privacy before you need to cash out. Stay stackin'!

In your opinion, what are the best CoinJoin services today?

# Wasabi coinjoin flows

It seems Wasabi users don't trust a single coordinator—which makes sense—and mitigate that by coinjoining with one coordinator and then finishing the process by coinjoining with a different one.

Is wasabi wallet currently the most secure and reliable coin join service? Asking for a friend..

If using a SeedSigner for a multisig, it’s still good practice to not put more than one of the seeds through the same device. If you really want to minimize your attack vectors, I think it’s still a good idea to use hardware wallets as well so that it is multi vendor. Also, hardware wallets store a backup of your multisig configuration as well.

The SeedSigner does have some additional vulnerabilities; i.e. you need to verify the software before downloading it. If you really want to be paranoid about it, you should never leave the device anywhere that anyone could access it, bc someone could tamper with the hardware, or even the software on the SD card. So you should keep it locked up, or verify the software on the SD card before using it, or use a fresh verified download each time, and examine the device for tampering. These are high paranoia concerns though. Also, I’m not an expert lol. Definitely steel backups for all seeds though.

I’ve always gone Coldcard but considering getting at least one other brand of hardware for the third key… can’t really decide tho. Trust Coldcard more than any others so wouldn’t mind sticking with it even for all three seeds

No...I have one of them stamped ( from when I used as single sig)

Again, I might just switch to seedsigner for long term storage...then just backup the seeds in 3 diff geo locations

Alright yea I’m leaning towards steel backups of all three seeds but just need to figure that out. Thanks!

Yes, all backups on steel. I considered getting a SeedHammer, which engraves everything for you including the descriptor, but decided to just do it manually since using the engraver has some potential risks associated with it and also is expensive. I may still get the SeedHammerII for the purpose of engraving the descriptor only, which gives you a metal backup of that without having to put any seed information into the machine. For the seeds, I decided to use the Blockmit Jig with generic washers, since it is low cost and you can always buy new washers and an aluminum pod to put them in.

Alright yea that makes total sense. I was leaning towards all three steel backups. Only thing is then I gotta find six secure locations for my devices and backups. Will be worth it though. Thanks!

there is no such thing as a private collaborative multisig fwiw

privacy & sovereignty are inherently at odds with any collaborative or custodial Bitcoin setup.

price you pay for convenience. evaluate the tradeoffs 🤙

Hey I was gonna go collaborative but am now leaning towards setting up multisig myself. When you setup a multisig, do you backup all three seeds on steel? Backups give you something to fall back on but also a larger attack surface… trying to decide what to do. Curious what others recommend

My next multisig will use a SeedSigner as one of the 3 keys. Foundation Passport Core and ColdcardQ as the other 2.
