Self custody isn't "instantly perfect", it's literally the bare minimum that has to take place in order for someone to actually become a new Bitcoiner.
If I were to be a snob about it, I would insist they run a full node first.
Self custody is a non negotiable starting point, so Phoenix fills that requirement while providing the best UX. I would probably avoid onboarding someone directly onto Lightning unless I know they will need to make small payments in the near future.
It doesn't look like Arch is officially supported - https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/blob/master/WalletWasabi.Documentation/WasabiCompatibility.md
But I'm glad it works anyway :)
Coordinators can no longer charge coinjoin fees since the release of Wasabi v2.2.0. However, coordinators can still earn sats by consolidating the dust amounts created by each user. https://liquisabi.com tracks the total for each round.
As a general rule, each additional UTXO you consolidate will decrease your privacy by some marginal amount. It's hard to give precise guidance since the observation model is different for whales vs small users and different for coordinators with large liquidity vs small liquidity.
If you start with only a single UTXO, there's a special case that triggers called Safety Coinjoins that will perform an extra remix for all of the outputs created in the initial round.
You can go to the wallet settings button from the ". . ." menu in the top right and check the coinjoin tab. Here you can increase the "Anonymity Score Target" number if you want to reduce your privacy progress below 100% again to participate in more transactions.
You are correct, coinjoin isn't offered for hardware wallets. Trezor used to be able to coinjoin directly on their own device. Trezor's code still exists, but the feature is no longer maintained.
The design you described is essentially what already occurs. There are standard denominations that each client chooses from when decomposing into outputs. Participating in rounds with high liquidity helps clients to avoid creating unique values, and minimizes the leftover dust that gets donated to coordinators/miners.
Reducing the set of possible standard denominations is a tradeoff; fewer denomination options will increase the chance of matching your outputs with other users, but will result in higher waste.
I run a coordinator on my node, you can check https://liquisabi.com or https://wabisator.com to find other coordinators broadcasting their connection info to Nostr.
When you realize the alternative choice is a 50 year sentence as a fiat tax slave, the obvious choice is to use Bitcoin.
People didn't even revolt during the 2020/2021 lockdowns, so it's obvious that humanity is entirely composed of 2 categories of people:
-Evil tyrants
-Evil NPCs who obey them
"Good" people were eliminated through evolutionary natural selection at some point in the past.
“She speaks to people based on how they dress and how they present themselves,” the security team member told Bitcoin Magazine. “If they are poor, you can tell that she does not give a flying shit about them.
Why is this the focus of your criticism? I don't give a flying shit about poor people either.
A mempool filter can't censor them, you have to run Bitcoin Purifier to fork the network - https://github.com/rot13maxi/bitcoin-purifier
