In Oct we asked our attorney

to assemble an expert legal team to respond to FinCEN's proposed rules that would effectively ban bitcoin privacy best practices such as not reusing addresses, and coinjoin.

Our understanding of AOPP is it that is some sort of API that wallet developers can incorporate that will automatically 'prove' ownership of a non custodial wallet to the exchange where the user is withdrawing from.
Here is why Samourai Wallet won't include support for AOPP

Luke claims the 42 byte limit has existed for years and we just chose to ignore that. Yet on his own maintained fork he forgot to change the code comment which clearly states the 80 byte default setting.

If you have recently received a very small amount of BTC in your wallet unexpectedly, you may be the target of a "dusting attack" designed to deanonymise you by linking your inputs together - Samourai users can mark this utxo as "Do Not Spend" to nip the attack in the bud.

Use a passphrase people.
The pigs are trained to look for 12/24 words on steel/paper/etc and seize immediately.
With a secure passphrase in your brain seizing your coins is not possible, even if they have the mnemonic.
Passphrase is required in Samourai Wallet since day one
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill just passed UK Parliament. The bill gives broad powers to local law enforcement, allowing them to "seize crypto with criminal links without a conviction."

Luke runs a fork of Core called Knots, in his fork he has defined the OP_RETURN limit at 42 bytes. He is more than entitled to do this.
However to claim Whirlpool transactions are non standard because they do not conform to the values of his niche fork is totally wrong and a lie

CoinJoin coordinators are simply message passers. This is true of Wasabi & Whirlpool. They are not money transmitters, they are not facilitators they simply pass data packets to connected clients. Clients never surrender custody to any 3rd party. Clients collaborate w/ each other

Ocean investors down bad.
If you want to regain your hashrate (maybe) stop censoring transactions. It is no surprise the vast majority of Bitcoin users (including miners) do not stand with censorship.
It would also help if CTO Luke would stop getting caught in insane lies
45
91
516
We have further self defensive weapons at our disposal that may be deployed if Ocean obtains significant hash power.
We humbly ask that miners point their hashpower to any other pool to send a strong market signal to the would be censors.
Don't let them get away with this.

Luke is claiming that Whirlpool transactions are "bugged" and create non standard transactions due to a 46 byte OP_RETURN present in Whirlpool Tx0 transactions.
This is a lie. He knows it is a lie. The OP_RETURN limit has been 80 bytes since Bitcoin Core version 0.12
17

505
PayNym fixes this.
PayNym is a stealth address implementation for bitcoin.
With a PayNym you can receive bitcoin directly into your wallet without providing a traceable address.
No address means no starting point to surveillance and no possible way to comply with blacklist.
We have independently confirmed that the Canadian RCMP has sent out a blacklist notice to regulated Canadian bitcoin companies telling them to report any activity from 29 bitcoin addresses connected to the Canadian Freedom Convoy, including the HonkHonkHodl fundraiser address.
