But the interesting part is they mentioned "Dutch FIOD has started promising technical research into behavior and demixing of Wasabi transactions", it's interesting how they achieve that (assuming it's true), would they look for another user behavior, vulnerabilities in Tor or even vulnerability of the blind signature itself?
My guess is that a lot of users aren't careful with their post-mixing behaviour (many mistakes can be committed here, often unwittingly).
Most likely, i've seen users who ignore anonymity color (green, yellow or red) or use all inputs at once.
tl;dr Privacy tools are fantastic, but don't expect them to be useful when you want to cash out from exchanges.
Good point. The only alternative is only buy digital coupon or gift card if you want to buy something from specific store.
BISQ.
Or create good/trusting relationships with trustworthy traders in LocalBitcoins, then trade directly. Because the true potential of Bitcoin might only be attained through peer to peer trade/commerce, and the incapability of a centralized third party to censor you.
I don't think you get what I am talking about. What if I want to be able to exchange my bitcoin for fiat and I need to exchange large sums? Would you do that on BISQ? You can't because of the very low volumes they have.
Would you do that on LocalBitcoin? You can't unless you want to have to move around with tons of cash (and I bet you wouldn't find such trades).
My point is, for the sake of convenience, people would like to exchange btc for fiat in a bank because in the end we all need to live.
If you have mixed, coinjoined coins and else, very few (none) exchanges will allow you do cash out.
That's the thing: if we are talking peanuts ok, go to bisq or local bitcoin but if you are talking big money forget about that unless you have a provable source of funds.
Again tl;dr Privacy tools are fantastic, but don't expect them to be useful when you want to cash out from exchanges (large sums).
so is a wallet useless.
