 Ginger Wallet: Wasabi Wallet Fork with 'Compliant' Coinjoins

Ginger Wallet is an open-source, non-custodial, privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet for desktop. It is a fork of Wasabi Wallet with an unchangeable default coordinator that sends all CoinJoin input transactions to a chain surveillance partner.

 This is satire right 
 Did Bugle take over for the day?  
 Wow, such privacy focus! 
 Cool another piece of software I’ll never use  
 So...undoing the very thing it's meant for. That's... stupid.

 I don’t know shid about fug, but the phrase “chain surveillance partner” is highly concerning. 

Wasn’t the point of Coinjoin to be a privacy tool? And wouldn’t the inclusion of a third party whose role is to monitor/track/report and possibly KYC Ginger users completely defeat the purpose of Coinjoin? 

If so, who is the target audience for this product and why would anyone use it? 
 What a shame! 
 Fuck it. 
 Lmao 
 LOL 
 So it's like old regular wasabi 🤷🏻‍♂️

 wtf? 🙈 
 not bad.. if it requires all kyc data it legally can, i might be interested. it would greatly increase my privacy 
 This is a meme, right... right? 
 Interesting. Not going to be for everyone. Nice to see a wasabi-like option continuing. 

I would be using Wasabi with some other coordinator (if I had any Bitcoin to coinjoin).
