You are fully trusting the coordinator with your privacy when using Whirpool (Samourai). Here are some practical attacks with a PoC.

The complete fix is the standard one: commit to a single round key before any input is revealed and sign it together with the round parameters, so every client verifies it got the same key and a lying coordinator is non-repudiably caught

This is incorrect. Whirlpool can't be fixed because the coordinator chooses every participant for the round, so it is impossible to prevent or detect Sybil attacks.

Totally agree. It meant the fix for that particular problem.
