If I am a Sparrow Wallet user who using Whirlpool to break on-chain deterministic links, backed by my own own node, running a Tor proxy (that switches identities after ever every mix), how would Samourai demix me?
Answer: it wouldn't be possible, even if they were running a malicious coordinator. They wouldn't have enough information.
The only time users have to trust that Samourai is not a bad actor is if they are using Whirlpool + Samourai Wallet with SW team's node, which they recommend against if you are able to run your own node.
