I won't get tired of saying... #bitcoin needs to be updated (softfork or hardfork, i dont know) to allow the mixing of coins as another feature of the code, and not as until now, which are "plugins". #samurai
PS: As long as all these privacy solutions are plugins, their developers will be persecuted and their services closed.
The miners are kidnapped, they will oppose this change with all their resistance.I won't get tired of saying... #bitcoin needs to be updated (softfork or hardfork, i dont know) to allow the mixing of coins as another feature of the code, and not as until now, which are "plugins". #samurai

Adding that kind of complexity to the base code is 1001 headaches waiting to happen... I doubt any serious devs would undertake such an upgrade. Not to mention, how many node runners would download that frankencore version? Not all bitcoin node runners are privacy advocates; some just want to earn more dollars.
The proper way to decentralize this is joinmarket's approach. Joinmarket is a P2P network, with no central point of failure that I have seen. It's based on the Coinjoin protocol, which is, like bitcoin, truly open source & distributed.
Both Samourai and Wasabi have implemented the coinjoin protocol in their products too, so some were very surprised to see that the fedcoats would come after a company that just implemented open source code... But honestly I'm not surprised that they did. They don't care about what you use, only that they can find someone to stick in a cage. Neanderthals.
Joinmarket doesn't (appear to, so far) have anyone to stick in a cage. Just 61 volunteer contributors on github.
