I want to reiterate (not for you, there is no hope to make you see the truth by now; I'm writing for new readers):
We can read the wallet source code, but there is no way to verify what code actually runs on zkSNACKs' servers, which is the default this wallets connects to. Furthermore, zkSNACKs confirmed multiple times in writing that they do work with blockchain analysis companies, and can deny access to the service.
It is easy to see that this is a 'point of failure', where governments or anyone else, could apply pressure to either deny someone access to mixing, or actually just receive data from the company and trace coins back to someone's real-life identity through.. well, good ol' blockchain analysis.

It's disgusting to see you coming back to a new thread to deceive new readers, you've already been exposed as a lying BASTARD on this exact point already: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5286821
If you claim my statement is a lie, you have to claim that zkSNACKS does not collaborate with blockchain analysis companies, which they themselves admit publicly, repeatedly!! Cheesy This is getting hilarious.
Please provide one instance of zkSNACKs publicly admitting they provide data to blockchain analysis companies.

I find it funny that you, nopara and others have tried to fight for us to separate between Wasabi (wallet) and zkSNACKS (company), meanwhile they put legal disclaimers that theoretically refer only to the company and their own coordinator, in the actual wallet's source code...
So you were proven to be lying when you claimed that the zkSNACKS coordinator submits data to blockchain analysis companies since you were not able to provide even a single instance of zkSNACKs collecting data. You skipped right past the zkSNACKs privacy policy that explicitly says they cannot collect any data:

Of course, you never have to trust zkSNACKs that they do not collect any data since the Wasabi client itself prevents any coordinator from collecting any data, which you can verify since it is entirely open source, just like Bitcoin itself!
Since you already proven to be a LIAR in the previous thread, why did you return to this thread to try to deceive new users into thinking they are trusting zkSNACKs with any data when they are not? I don't understand how you didn't feel enough shame from being proven wrong in the first thread that you would come back to a new thread just to get humiliated AGAIN for propagating completely false information to new users?
