JoinMarket NG

JoinMarket makers with unique enough fees are easily clustereable across mixdepths and don't provide much privacy to takers that choose them. Imagine there is only one maker that charges 0.123% fee. An external observer can identify that maker's equal amount outputs when they are provided as inputs for another coinjoin with the same fee (observable onchain). So I would encourage makers to select one of these quantized fees and disable randomization. This is an opt in change that joinmarket-clientserver and joinmarket-ng makers can apply on their own. The more makers on the same quantized fee, the better anonymity for them and consequently for takers that pick them. More info at and image

JoinMarket makers can be clustered (across mixdepths). Two ways: - Easily if their CJ fee is unique enough and reused between rounds. - Harder by gathering co-spending thought many rounds and waiting for the intersection to be narrow enough. It's easier said than done in practice. Bit it's still something to improve. Here is a more detailed explanation of the problem and possible solutions that could bring JM achieved anonymity to the next level. Feedback welcome!

Nice podcast. Bitcoin is unstoppable, but you are not. Privacy is what makes you not worth attacking.

If AI is making you "think less", you are using it wrong.

@OCEAN @Luke Dashjr Will OCEAN pool enforce BIP-110 compliance for DATUM miners? And for its stratum? What happens to a DATUM miner that builds its own block templates if it finds a block that includes non compliant transactions? Or even if it doesn't find it, does the hashrate still count? And of the pool enforces BIP-110 even if only for stratum, I guess rewards will come from BIP-110 blocks only. Which means lower profitability (but same would happen in the other side). But additionally means that many block rewarda are at risk of being invalidated (reorg). So what happens to LN instant payouts? Don't these questions deserve an official announcement? Maybe I've missed it but couldn't find any.
