[Education] Bitcoin Privacy and Anonymity

[GazetaBitcoin]

Even though the wasabi wallet changed from its original purpose, it did not change the history that the Wasabi wallet was a pioneer in implementing the Coinjoin concept. Theymos also said in his post, which I also quoted above:  Re: CoinJoin: Bitcoin privacy for the real world.

But I agree with you when Wasabi Wallet announced this: https://blog.wasabiwallet.io/zksnacks-blacklisting-update/. I will add your note to the Wasabi wallet.  I think this is fair enough for readers to judge from both sides.

Thank you for this update, Husna QA, and also for the fast reply! I understand your point of view: nothing from present changes the past and in the past Wasabi was a pioneer, no matter that it turn rogue now. So the part regarding this wallet being a pioneer of CoinJoin stays, as it's a part of history, and theymos congratulated them for what they were at that moment of the past. However, considering their recent moves, your new added observation is more than welcome.

The update is also reflected inside the Romanian translation of your topic.

today i translated this complete thread with the different 16 topics into german and i noticed that at the last topic [16th Circuit of Transactions] the link to the picture of the benes network is broken.
so i post here the talkimg link, so that it will be overwritten against the old one:

to point 6 (coinjoin) from the great education, there is now also a very interesting website called: https://www.coinjoins.org/
it’s a free and open source project to learn about the privacy of collaborative Bitcoin transactions.

I found information about coinjoin.org which was launched by this wasabi contributor via Twitter and I opened it at bitcoinmagazine.com
since there is mention of wasabi, I dare not share.

At first glance, from what I read, the articles published on bitcoinmagazine are very good because of privacy education.

Hi there! I'm coming from the recent French translation of this topic. That was a great read.

6. CoinJoin

[...] JoinMarket pioneered a lot of CoinJoin science (and BTW, belcher wrote an excellent & comprehensive wiki article on privacy), while Wasabi is the first wallet that implements CoinJoin in both a highly-usable and sound way. [...]

-snip- Wasabi is not our friend any more.  They joined the enemy's boat.

Given what happened with Wasabi, and the reactions here, I was surprised that Whirlpool wasn't brought up by anyone in this particular thread. Because I feel like it has become more or less the de-facto Coinjoin implementation. Is there a reason not to recommend it?
