Privacy isn't binary. There is no silver bullet or magic tool that can give you "full" privacy. Privacy is hard to understand and practically difficult to measure. But easy to lie about. Even many bi...

My few favorite ways to spend Bitcoin always begin using CoinJoin and then funding either a LN channel of a Tor hidden LN Node running on @Start9 or funding @Fedimint (sadly the Fedi App does not support Tor yet, room for improvement). Combining CoinJoins with LN or Fedi makes it pretty private.

This is basically what I've had in mind but unfortunately basically zero places accept bitcoin here. Nothing is perfect but at least you're not the most obvious target with this approach.

I wonder if there isn't a big mismatch in the world of Bitcoin funding: too much dedicated to experimental wallets, niche technologies, Bitcoin Core fuzz testing and failed startups that market themse...

If have the feeling that too much energy is wasted in workarounds than in implementing final solutions.

BitVM <-> Simplicity

We could have all the nice stuff but having such so slow speed after 18 years of Bitcoin development makes me pessimistic about cool new features

I want to open a debate on something practical: how do we make JoinMarket useful for more people? But before that, a framing question: how *should* a normal person use Bitcoin with some privacy? Noth...

The non-technical person won't buy their coins on P2P marketplaces (this is just reality). They're going to buy it on Coinbase and send it to a hardware wallet like Trezor or Bitbox and/or a software-wallet like Sparrow. For non-technical persons a sparrow plugin (GUI) is probably the preferred way to interact with JoinMarketNG instead of a CLI (thus jam exists). By having a simple UI that follows CoC you're lowering the bar enormously. The best way is probably a two wallet solution. One wallet that does nothing (let's ignore it) and the second wallet that automatically does conjoins. You just send coins to an address the wallet is using and the wallets does another one to two tx in the background (to not give coinable a reason to close your account, they're monitoring tx even after they left the coinbase wallet). Everything happens in background, toxic UTXOs will be remixed etc. "Everything" is easy to set in the GUI and everything will be explained there (in max. two sentences per setting).
