Design for a CoinSwap Implementation for Massively Improving Bitcoin Privacy and Fungibility Alice sends tx A->B but the coins actually end up in Z. Then when normie Carol sends a tx an analyst must deal with possibility that Carol's coins disappeared too.

An alpha version of my coinswap project is released!. Doesnt have all the features yet, but works on regtest, signet and mainnet. Imagine a new privacy tech for bitcoin, like coinjoin, but cant be blocked b/c the txes look exactly the same as regular txes.

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority calls for a EU ban on Proof-of-Work. Now the state owned energy provider Vattenfall disagrees and called them out.

Lol, @Vattenfall_Se, Sweden’s own *state-owned* power company (Sweden’s absolutely largest fossil-free energy producer) just completely rejected the notion—put forth by our financial regulator and environmental protection agency 2 days ago—of bitcoin mining’s wastefulness.

What if top fidelity bonds in the orderbook are actually controlled by the same person? They would be foregoing about 8.39 BTC² in sacrificed value, nearly twice as much as the total value right now which is 4.51 BTC². And their success rate would only be about 6% per coinjoin

In terms of sybil resistance, if a taker does a coinjoin with 10 other makers (the default value), then in order to successfully attack a sybil attacker would have to lock up over 128k BTC (6.1 billion USD) for one year, or destroy 160 BTC forever

Currently 264 BTC are locked up, including this one maker who locked up 124 coins for one year. Several other makers have locked up tens of bitcoins each some for multiple years
