But why do I need to create a new wallet on my hardware wallet then? If my xPub of the hardware wallet does not get leaked while sending my coins to Wasabi to make the coinjoin, I should be able to send my coins back after the coinjoin to the "old" hardware wallet?

I have always been asking myself: Is my xPub "leaked" once I send a transaction? And does one once he knows the xPub see my entire BTC balance, spread across multiple addresses?

Thanks a lot guys.

Do you know how hard it is to get a new wallet (or new xPub) on a hardware device? Or do I need to buy an entirely new device which would be frustrating

got it, thanks a lot. One more thing: you mentioned that I need to create a second wallet which is connected to my hardware wallet. Does this mean I can't use my previous wallet (with the reused receiving adress), just using receiving adresses I never used before this time?

perfect, thanks a lot. Is the privacy restored afterwards or will there be a way of tracing back the coins to the adress reuse? The former of course only if I reached a high enough privacy score in Wasabi Wallet, e.g. though multiple coinjoins.

Thanks for your response. As of my knowledge, coinjoin is still possible with Wasabi. What you pointed out is probably the fact that they do not act as coordinators themselves anymore. They still say that they offer coinjoin on their website (https://wasabiwallet.io/faq.html). I believe that previously one could use Wasabi as the coordinator of the coinjoin, but now, you need to select a coordinator from websites like https://wabisator.com/. Still, thank you for pointing out.

Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to Bitcoin and got into the privacy topic recently. I wanted to do a coinjoin using the Wasabi Wallet in order to increase my privacy (did adress reuse by accident in the past because I did not know yet it is a problem in terms of privacy). In order to do that, I want to transfer my BTC from my hardware wallet to Wasabi wallet and do one or multiple coinjoins. After that, I want to send the BTC to my hardware wallet again. Are there any privacy concerns with the last step? Can I select the output adresses (generated from the xPub of my hardware wallet) so that after the coinjoin, my BTC will be on the hardware wallet again, but with privacy optimized?

Hope this question makes sense - allow me to clarify if this is not the case. Many thanks in advance for your swift response
