I have! Awesome to see it start getting to be implemented. It doesn’t solve for everything but it definitely helps. Planning to do a video soon ish.

Wow love that - did you come up with it?

@@IanMajor Thx. I did yes. Feel free to reuse it. It's open source now ;)

Appreciate the kind words and support! Good suggestion - there are a handful of other privacy related topics such as PayJoin (which I’m pretty sure JoinMarket uses under the hood btw) as a standalone concept as well as some of the newer stuff around silent payments

@@IanMajor I’d love to learn more about all the privacy tech available now. How to best utilize it as a non-technical pleb doing on chain txs

There are some things for my work that are easier on windows… planning to switch at some point esp as windows introduces more and more intrusive bs

Great question. There have been a handful of cases of exchanges asking users for more information when detecting that they’re depositing recently mixed coins. There was a website that was tracking that (6102 Bitcoin) but it looks like it has shut down. IIRC there weren’t any of the big exchanges listed but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. FWIW I think it was found that these instances were tied to Wasabi Wallet, and I’m not aware of any instances tied to joinmarket but again doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Samourai Wallet had a tool called Ricochet which would basically programmatically send a payment multiple “hops” before landing at the exchange since they’re often only looking a couple payments back for that incoming deposit. All of that is to say, definitely a risk but I’m not aware of any serious repercussions other than requesting for more info/context from the user

That hasn’t been a requirement in my experience. I think we’re over 10GB now for the serialized UTXO set and there are plenty of 8GB and even 4GB ram nodes chugging away :)

I suppose they are in the sense that “makers” are constructing partially signed transactions that will programmatically execute at a later time if a “taker” takes the offer, but these are much simpler smart contracts that have been around a long time and before ethereum was created. Joinmarket is a very battle-tested piece of software and I would not equate the risk to something like a DEX on ethereum.

I believe it’s just going to try and give you the best offer for that fee structure you’ve selected but good point I need to test out some more scenarios looking at the order book data

Not last I checked? Its also P2P so there isn’t really a concept of “down”

What ?

To make it more liquid and thus stronger.

Its the only one left standing because its decentralised, not because the feds don't know about it!

@@huxley49620 Correct. It's peer to peer. But your saying that join market itself can't be shut down? Not being a smart butt, seriously asking.

They would have to not only shut down the source code on GitHub but also track down all individuals that have ever downloaded and/or forked the code and/or taken a backup of it which is just not practical or justifiable even for an entity with a money printer. This differs from something like Samourai Wallet whose coinjoin coordinator server essentially represents a single point of failure.
