Fiat money is just money printing. What thing about stealing through inflation is something that can be "managed responsibly"?
Inflation is theft. No amount of appeal to authority should sugarcoat this.
Hey there, Wasabi dev here.
The best thing we can do is use the frontier models to fix potential bugs before attackers do. Wasabi uses NBitcoin, which is a library used across many wallet software, currently heavily scrutinized.
Taxes are a scam in the sense that they give people the sense they are paying them for their own good.
If I could give an honest, accurate definition of taxation, it'd be:
Taxes are the inevitable phenomenon when the possibility for coercion and theft on scale allows the land conquerors for material benefit that far outweighs the benefit of engaging in voluntary exchange.
I don't use centralized exchanges (most of my off-ramps come from Bisq), but I never had any issue with merchants on the Internet. And I only spend coinjoined UTXOs.
Why do you HAVE TO cope with your own mediocrity?
Why is "becoming exceptional" not a choice?
Why do you have to make excuses or be in denial about your mediocrity,
when you can try to NOT be mediocre?
Then, you won't have to cope with it.
Yes, you would, but they are already private, so it is only a timing analysis concern, which is there regardless the amount.
Wabisabi coinjoins are designed so that you don't get toxic change. If by "dust", you mean 10,000 sats UTXO, then you can consolidate them. In general though, it does not create much dust, unless you coinjoin low amounts.
It is equally private. If you don't connect to your own node, you'll request the compact block filters from the Bitcoin network. You don't request addresses or transactions from the nodes.
It's just a little slower, but speed improved in the latest version.
It uses the NBitcoin library on .NET. It generates BIP39 standard wallet, and allows you to extend it with passphrase.
No, the coordinator doesn't.
How this works comes down to two things. First, a unique Tor identity is used for each input and each output, so they can't be linked at the network level. Second, some magic math: keyed-verification anonymous credentials. It lets the coordinator issue you so-called credentials; mathematical objects that you can then do interesting things with, like re-randomizing them or splitting them into several smaller ones.
The magic lies in this: when the coordinator receives your re-randomized credentials, it can verify that it issued them, but it can't tell which input they came from.
So throughout the whole process, the coordinator is essentially a blind man.
