 Everyone was too busy focusing on postmix tools to realize you don't need a postmix tool if everything can happen in a mix! 

PSA: nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsymkvl9 with the coinjoin plugin has been able to handle payment batching in coinjoin directly since day one of its release. 

And a (not so) secret project that I have been working on for years will soon transform coinjoins into one of the best payment protocols out there with massive cost savings and privacy gains for everyone involved

 BTCPay Server has been a facet since its inception and I had no idea it did Coinjoins.

You think you know Bitcoin. You don't know Bitcoin.

 I knew it did pay joins but didn't know it did coin joins. 

It's been a solid piece of software for sure. 
 It's my fault for the lack of awareness. I don't promote my work much because I feel  my time is best spent researching and building the tech. I rely on people to discover, understand and help promote it, which hasn't been very effective so maybe this is where I should change. I’m better with code than with words though, as the quote goes. 😁

 This plugin is something I took on myself to develop but it was only the first step in the grand scheme of things. Zksnacks supported me immensely and we were going to take over the world, where every spend was actually a coinjoin, until the samourai situation unfolded.

There's still hope, but it will have to execute differently now. The tech is sound and is agnostic of use, whether it is privacy, scaling, or both. 

Just need to get the message across to get the right resources and connections.  
 In some cases it's better to avoid payments in coinjoin transactions. Payjoin or Octojoin works better in such situations because less or no coordination and transactions look normal.

Also wabisabi isn't the only implementation that allows payments in coinjoin. You can achieve the same with joinmarket and joinstr.
