zkSNACKs will suspend it's coinjoin coordination service on June 1st. It was an honor and a privilege. https://blog.wasabiwallet.io/zksnacks-is-discontinuing-its-coinjoin-coordination-service-1st-of-june/

You know that I have always been critical of centralized coordinators, but if I can say something about the Wasabi team is that they have been honest and transparent, I can't say the same about other teams. It's a pity that everything is ending like this, but I hope this will serve to advance in other fronts and build privacy tools resistant to state control. nostr:note1qh7n2vdssuunhhwmh4w3v4z0xxz66p3pj8u78apkwsynk3vck49qjhrkgt

Lezgooooo!!!! nostr:nevent1qqsqtlf4xxcgwwfmmhdm6hgk238nrpddqcser70r7sm8gzfmgkvt2jspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzpdlddzcx9hntfgfw28749pwpu8sw6rj39rx6jw43rdq4pd276vhuqvzqqqqqqyxv3cfz
Thank you Max, it has been really useful and hope there are ways for trusted coordinators to come back in the future. If in the future multiple nodes (with additional opt-in open source coordinator software) could come together to form a decentralised honest coodinator over tor.... The coordinator function would no longer be able to be taken down and has no fixed location and would no longer require trust. Or have miners listening to coinjoin requests, for a certain fee to coordinate it in their next to be mined blocks (in their own mempool)
Thank you for this incredibly valuable service, may there be a hundred copies of it.
Thanks for the service
Now you know why UTXO blacklisting was never going to work. Law enforcement is never satisfied with technological deterrents, they want the whole thing down.
To elaborate on my previous comment, the *only* way you can successfully create a resilient coinjoin service is by incentivising hundreds of people to run a copy of it. This is similar to how bitcoin encouraged people to run a node in order to mine a block in the early days. Small financial incentives are the way, the total coinjoin capacity may be small but it has the potential for onboarding more runners.
wish you could tell us the whole story
