 By that logic then, if they said they hate privacy then we should trust their node?

their xpub architecture is such that it allows users to not need to download a tremendous amount of data that wouldn’t work over the edge network 

take a moment to appreciate that users in authoritarian countries, underdeveloped countries don’t have 5g and still need privacy 
 Yeah they can use Green or Blue or Nunchuk, too, and at least not have to trust their xpubs with sociopaths that lie on social media. 
 Those wallets have no privacy spending tools

have fun with your peel chains 🍌 
 That is a weird flex for someone who just said vulnerable people have to doxx themselves to Samourai with their xpubs. What does it matter if they can circumvent authority, if they have to trust that Samourai isnt doxxing their xpubs to authority? 
 No one said had to

There is NO evidence samourai has ever doxxed users to authority 

authoritarianism is so clearly more of a threat, this is so silly

why are you not as upset about Wasabi literally hiring chain analysis and sending people to jail 
 I have no interest in joining the Wasabi v Whirlpool shit flinging show. That's all your little problem to resolve, and the demand that we now explore some PlusToken scam morons mixing 10000 coins is the typical trajectory of Samourai discussioms. Staying in my lane, moisturized and flourishing with JoinMarket just fine, thanks.

This whole discussion started with me pointing out the majority of Samourai's user base was doxxing their xpubs to Samourai. After we have established that wallets were separate from Whirlpool and that Samourai's little "downtime"  article addresses very little of that , and admitting that less sophisticated wallet users (I.e. the majority) are doxxing their xpubs, I have very little else to discuss.
