The largest multiparty Bitcoin transaction ever has just been confirmed! According to @Kruw, "with 430 inputs, this CoinJoin transaction is the biggest on the entire blockchain." 🚀 https://mempool.space/tx/649344a93bb9859215329100ff4ea4f89b53e5ade700d25c9aeca702c6f74894 This was only possible thanks to extensive work on improving communication reliability and reducing resource consumption, enabling the coordination of such a massive transaction.

The biggest CoinJoin contains address reuse. https://image.nostr.build/58699b1300718d4cf753b2faeb5d60c1b8be54f6e014f56ac1cf594473e29ca8.jpg nostr:nevent1qqsqqqqaru54ylxfkms0x9e54m85zz5hqtdutrrplnlykhwltdvkkpqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsfuv8fgq3cek0ta0rr9qtkm4x3pxqjz22y9u4xcwrj0lrxlfl2jzsrqsqqqqqprk3n2p

84 outputs are below 65k sats. There are better ways to increase anonset in a transaction without increasing number of inputs/outputs, belonging to small number of users and some of them being dust. This method of mixing will become obsolete with joinpools after covenants.
