This is data from https://liquisabi.com/ filtering by coinjoin.kruw.io coordinator, and by date range. Available data begins in October, and is based on the estimation code that floppy shared, which can be fairly easily manipulated in both directions, so taking it at face value assumes neither the coordinator nor the clients were modified to bias the estimated earnings. These estimates haven't been disputed, and in some sense implied to be accurate (https://archive.is/PoyYB https://archive.is/bpaxH). > I'm curious because I do remember that Peter had some unorthodox thoughts > about altruistic behaviour being part of the story with these anonymising > technologies (we were talking about Tor as well as coinjoin) FWIW wabisabi coordinators provide the service of censorship, not privacy, privacy is a positive externality obtained from other coinjoin participants and the coordinator's job is to keep out disruptive inputs, i.e. ensure liveness without being trusted with preserving privacy. I'm not sure what altruism would entail here, but FWIW i don't think there's any problem with the coordinator earning revenues, only with it being misrepresented as "free" and "trustless". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bitcoin Development Mailing List" group.
