Really interesting interview. I didn't realize their original plan was to launch the wallet with coinjoin support. Also love the analogy he makes between email and bitcoin.

Yeah, you can see it in the git history of the code base. Many "privacy advocates" jumped on them for using bitcoin and also not launching with every privacy feature. Easy to throw rocks.

Yeah, he did a fantastic job breaking it down in a way that finally made it make sense. Their initial comms could have been much better to prevent much of the backlash, but grateful he took this chance to clear the air a bit.
Makes me even more sad that Samourai devs are in jail as its second- and third-order effects are massive.
