Near Term Future of Anonymous Transactions | HCPP23 - Max Hillebrand Wasabi Wallet Hillebrand covers privacy technologies shipping now: Tor rewrites in Rust, BIP 324 network encryption, Wasabi 2.0 large-scale coinjoins, Schnorr signatures (Musig, Frost) hiding Lightning channel activity on-chain, Cashu/Fedimint ecash for instant private transactions, blinded routes, and RGB smart contracts. These provide anonymity across network, L1, and L2 layers. His argument: practical system

Satoshi gifted us a *theoretically perfectly anonymous* transaction system. sats do not flow "from the second input to the third output". Rather, sats on the input side get destroyed, and sats on the output side created. It's not a flow of sats, but more like a wormhole. We have been stupid and made bad use of this miraculous technology. We have always made small single user transactions, and if there is a low count of inputs and outputs, the k-anonymity of this transaction is also low. The extremely simple solution to maximize the privacy guarantees of Satoshi's transaction system, is to increase the count of inputs and outputs in a transaction. That's it. That's the trivial solution to Bitcoin's privacy "problem". BIG TRANSACTIONS.

Die Geheimnisse hinter Bitcoin und die Macht der Cypherpunks - BTC23 ft. Max Hillebrand Die Bitcoin Konferenz Die Cypherpunks (1990er) erkannten, dass verteilte Kryptographie Machtverhältnisse verschiebt: Verteidigung wird günstig, Angriff teuer. Aufbauend auf Public-Key-Kryptographie (1970er), Blind Signatures von Chaum (1980er) und der Cypherpunk Mailing List scheiterte DigiCash an zentraler Autorität. Bitcoin (2008) löste das Problem durch dezentralen Konsens: Peers statt zentrale Partei validieren Tra

Max Hillebrand talking about Wasabi at Riga 2023 Bitcoin Insights 21 Max Hillebrand explains coinjoin protocol design: collaborative transactions require a coordinator who must censor tainted UTXOs (sanctions, criminal proceeds), but censorship is UTXO-level, not user-level. Addressing chain surveillance concerns: while coordinators could theoretically collaborate with surveillance firms, they operate on zero-knowledge principle—never seeing user identifying inform
