I've spent a small percentage of my stack coinjoining. I think its expensive, but in the end worth it until we get more competition/collaboration or more options in the future

Why not using liquid > boltz > lightning ?

bc you're depending on a third party not to leak your info / metadata with each step of the way. or maybe you want to settle more money than you can effectively with these methods

there is very littler explanation of what is supposedly going on on this website lol

FAQ blank

With new competitors like Mutiny, we'll have more Coinjoin service cheaper.

Nice try, FBI

srsly

A fair bit, for my long-term cold storage stash.

I'm not sure if I regret that. By the time I'd like to spend it, Bitcoin adoption will (hopefully) be much greater and I'll have privacy via Lightning / L2s anyway. On the other hand, maybe on-chain privacy will still be important and I'll be glad that I CJ'd at very low transaction fees.

I guess now it does not matter. I've spent money on far dumber things regardless.

I've spent money on fast food and going to movie theaters. Coin joins are a much better deal.

Coinjoins will be cheaper than regular transactions one day

Please explain.

Cross input signature aggregation

Taproot was going to give us this, but people couldn't agree on which MuSig implementation to use. This is why we cant have nice things.

reply

This is kinda a fallacy. CISA doesn't really make it much cheaper (only around 10-20% because of the witness discount). This also assumes you are just merging transactions into one big aggregate transaction which doesn't actually give any real amount of privacy. To gain privacy from coinjoins you need to do something to prevent amount heuristics (either same amount or hamming weights).

I don't think Taproot was ever slated to have CISA. There are lots of weird edge cases that haven't been thought out and that's why it wasn't added AFIAK.

reply

Thanks for clarification. Maybe this is more accurate: Taproot enabled a CiSA soft fork by adding Schnorr. CiSA was not also included in Taproot because there is still a lot to discuss including which MuSig to use.

reply

MuSig isn't detectable, so we didn't need to decide "which" to use. It was more about making sure we can preserve backwards compatibility correctly and handling sighash flags weirdness

reply

10 - 20% is not that bad.. It could be motivational in times of high mining fees

reply

yes but like i said, this is just transaction batching, if you want privacy it will still be more expensive

reply

Exactly, but there is still hope 🙂

So if we can agree on a single musig implementation that will allow all transactions to be coin joins?

Is it enough to do btc->L-btc->btc ?

reply

No

AFAIK you can see the peg out & trace the history on liquid too. Its just the amount that it hidden in liquid.

reply

Zero, i get paid to do coinjoins. Stop using centralized services and use join market. Infinite mixing, and other users pay you for the privilege of utilizing your liquidity.

watch out for mercurylayer.com

Zero. Although I consider myself an advance user, I am scared about doing something wrong with coinjoins. I also don't want to spend much. Any advice to lose the fear?

i dont wanna know, but it is too much

There is a cost for LN swaps too

reply

sure there is.
but you don't have to make unnecessary transactions just to obfuscate.

reply

If found that opening & closing channels + the swap fee works out to be similar to coinjoins

reply

a channel is forever, Laura ;)
and just by using lightning does the job

reply

So is the swap data to the swap provider Gary
