 to clarify an important moral distinction between fiat money laundering and coinjoining sats:

- #coinjoin necessitates all participants input the same value as other participants in the pool; everyone must put up a *verifiable* quantity, otherwise privacy-optimizating cannot be achieved

- fiat money laundering is the premise of taking *unknown* quantities of ill-gotten dollars/pounds/yen and passing it through a legitimate business, to help explain to the tax authorities how/where your revenue came from

 Coinjoin is not limited to pools. Only the centralized coordinators do that.
