Just saw this in my notifications.

A few thoughts...
-Do you mean entities that sent me bitcoin in the past, whirlpool participants, or both?
-I'm not worried about the tx0 being briefly known before it is mixed (not connected to my identity), buying KYC free makes it irrelevant if I'm only going to spend on the other side of a mix.
-To my knowledge, another big thing lacking from Wasabi that would make it a more robust protocol is postmix spending tools and paynyms

I want to caveat that I would never use Wasabi even if they had a superior method (imo they don't if you are remixing. As a single mix, I can maybe see your argument in isolation possibly). If they are going to censor inputs and work with chain analysis companies that already disqualifies them as a privacy tool. If they hadn't taken that stance, I might be more open to their new implementation.


To attempt fighting my bias, I'll leave you with this short article by Shinobi. He makes a measured criticism of both of us:
