1. This means that in my opinion this is not an unacceptable solution. I am sure, as in real life - fiat life, there are scammers who, for example, in an online store, can use fraudulent schemes to get money from not very attentive users. if a similar unified system of blocking transactions on cards that were marked as fraudulent worked in the banking sector, and transactions on them required manual intervention, knowing how many people had already complained about this card or cardholder, the number of such operations would decrease significantly . It's just that in the real world there is at least some chance to return the money (if you have time to notice), then in the crypto world - no one will ever return it to you ...
Blacklists do nothing to make you more secure against scammers. Further, unlike fiat, there is no scope for "manual intervention" here. You cannot appeal to Wasabi after they blacklist your coins and get them to change their mind, not least because you will have absolutely no idea why your coins were blacklisted in the first place.
2. "Tribute to fashion" - not just in quotation marks. For example, I see that everything goes to control over cryptocurrency flows, regulators, laws, ministries of finance, banks - they cannot exist without control and management. Digital freedom is like a "double-edged sword", it can be beneficial, but the probability of being used for harm is very high. For example, at the moment, for myself, I don't see where I would need mega-anonymity. Well, honestly! For example, you leave so many copies of your digital and analog data in your life that a transaction, even for the purchase of something expensive, against this background does not look like the most secret information.
If you want to sacrifice your privacy for some small convenience, fine. You don't get to remove the right for privacy from everyone else, though.
3. As I see it - this is my personal opinion, and for me it is. What you wrote is your personal opinion, and this does not mean that it is the only true one
No one is forcing or forcing you. This is what freedom means! I never buy something that doesn't suit me or I don't like it
Absolutely. We also have the freedom to warn everyone else that Wasabi is pro-censorship and anti-bitcoin.
4. It minimizes the risks at least. I repeat once again - if you decide to hide from the whole world - burn bank cards, destroy data centers where online stores store your personal data, including delivery addresses, passport and state registration - also put on fire, burn your laptop, and drain the ashes into the sewer, and never buy anything except for cash, and be sure to wear rubber gloves so as not to leave marks on bills! This is of course humor, but very close to reality.
Privacy is not black and white. It is entirely logical to not go to these extremes while also not wanting to use a bitcoin wallet which cooperates with blockchain analysis and spies on you.
1. already described examples - makes it safer. If you are afraid of getting blacklisted - you know what their triggers are, just don't have relationships with questionable personalities.
2. Exactly - I am ready to exchange some, and for me, a dubious risk of deanonymization, for higher security! But you also do not have the right to restrict my security rights! Or just you can not be limited?
Moreover, there are a lot of alternatives - choose, or is this wallet the most comfortable for you?
3. I agree! This is freedom - you warned those for whom mega-anonymity is extremely important - you are done!
4. Unfortunately, very bad people often use confidentiality. And I am a supporter of the fact that safety is above very dubious benefits (of course - in my opinion).
...I have my own and different opinion
Your opinion seems to be greatly affected by the signature you are wearing because that opinion wasn't voiced before the campaign started. But that's your right and you are entitled to your own opinion. Just don't let the signature cloud your judgement and logic. To me personally, and many other members, it's unacceptable to justify someone's decision to censor Bitcoin and say your input is welcome, but yours isn't because we don't like you or your history. But if you are pro censorship and centralized decision-makers, that's your call. The idea of Bitcoin is somewhat different.
Well, its a conspiracy theory
I suggest reading my older posts about anonymity, decentralization, and security, among other things. And a week, and a month, and a year ago I had an identical opinion. In a word - they did not guess the reason for my opinion
But regarding "I can't tell people not to use" - it's very debatable. Once again I explain the situation. Wassabi is FREE software in which neither you nor anyone other than developers and/or investors have invested money or effort. And demand - you can not. You can express your opinion. And then, thanks to the advantages of the wallet, you either use it or not. This is called freedom of choice, and the right of the wallet developer to make decisions, as the author of this convenient and functional product.
Well, and most importantly - what can they track that is so secret? Do you often conduct transactions that they describe as illegal? And there is a list of really very specific operations. Stop doing them and you will have nothing to hide!
