Hi, guys!
I've recently launched season 15 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast. And now I've decided to write an article about each of the episodes.
In this season premiere, Max Hillebrand (CEO of ZK Snacks) and Lando Rothbardian (CEO of ShopInBit) talk about how they made bitcoin easier to spend directly from the interface of Wasabi wallet.
Since Wasabi version 2.0.5, you can now communicate directly with ShopInBit's concierge service. But unlike a browser tab that may be tracked by Google/Amazon/Facebook, you use a chat window which routes your connection through Tor and assigns a pseudonym to your order.
At the final step, you provide a shipping address (doesn't have to be your home) and details, then pay with your CoinJoined bitcoin. This is great news for both merchant adoption and privacy – as the most common criticism for CoinJoins has been that they get rejected by exchanges and some merchants that do blockchain analysis.
It's pretty cool stuff and I hope that you'll learn something new!
The article also contains complete time stamps that will help you navigate through the conversation. It's easy for those of you who are only interested in a certain part of the interview.

Not sure it's a good idea to have to unlock the wallet just to have back and forth about placing an order.
This should happen on a secure chat outside the wallet then Best case you click a payment link the the wallet open, worst case you have to copy paste an address to make a payment.
Am I missing something?
