tbh, I am not a fan of wasabi since they made their compromise and buckled to chainalysis and banning addresses. it is privacy theater. nobody who actually needs reliable privacy should use it. it is a joke.

everyone should just use joinmarket

Good joke. Coinjoin efficacity depends on liquidity and joinmarket liquidity is very bad. Some weeks only 60-70 new participants, have fun remixing with yourself.

Looking at orderbook right now - 259 orders found by 233 counterparties (makers).

From where did you get that metric?

It was one month ago. You can't deny that the liquidity is on whirlpool implementation, more than 6k BTC unspent balance. And postmix tools are very good and useful depending on usage, I can find this only with samourai wallet. Yes it has a cost but I don't care paying 1-2% fees because I stack my sats with 5% deviation on Bisq minimum. If joinmarket steals the liquidity and adds postmix tool I will migrate because it makes you earning sats. For now it doesn't worth it.

There is around 4668 BTC liquidity by makers, according to JoinMarket orderbook, right now.

About postmix tools - I have implemented fake coinjoins and ricochet for Bitcoin Core in my bitcoin-scripts project. Plan is to finish my HWI JoinMarket driver, which I started to do few months ago, but other priorities took over, then you could use these with JoinMarket wallet directly.
JoinMarket supports PSBT, so postmix transactions can be created independently by different tools.

You convinced me, I will give it a try very soon. Thanks for your answer.

it is one of the reasons but not the only for efficacy. building cj improvements is a WIP - one day we will reach a solid outcome
