Why do "mixers" still exist if we have trustless coinjoins?

- moeadham 6y agoHelix shut down years ago. The tech that enables wasabi is pretty recent (segwit, etc).
- hackinthebochs 6y agoJust wait until an enterprising DA decides to charge everyone in the coinjoin as a criminal conspiracy.
- colinmhayes 6y agoIS this not a mixer?
- doggosphere 6y agoI suppose it is a mixer, but with more modernized protocols. In earlier days AFAIK, a central coordinator was required to take custody of coins. Now its mostly trustless.
- _-___________-_ 6y agoThe key thing that enabled the action in OP was the custodial nature of the mixer. CoinJoin (which Wasabi implements) is non-custodial. There is no central party who could be targeted as in the action in OP.
