 >First of all, you have failed to demonstrate any Samourai Wallet "address reuse bugs" that can be equivalently compared to the systemic & symmetric address re-use vulnerabilities in Wasabi although you claimed them to be equivalent on Vlad's podcast.

Why can't they be compared? I just compared them didn't I? Your comment that Whirlpool's toxic change outputs and coordinator fee outputs already have such terrible privacy that it doesn't make any difference whether or not the addresses are reused doesn't help your argument, it hurts your argument.

>As for Ergo's tweet, when he says "unmixed" change, he's talking about change that comes out of a Wasabi CoinJoin tx

Okay, and when I say "unmixed" change I'm talking about the change that comes out of a Whirlpool tx0.

Now that we are both on the same page, please explain why you wouldn't just solve the problem of unmixed change like Ergo suggested by never creating it in the first place? I even opened a Gitlab issue in Samourai's wallet for doing this: https://web.archive.org/web/20231025112756/https://code.samourai.io/wallet/samourai-wallet-android/-/issues/461 
 You could also compare apples to oranges but you would still look like a fool.
