Even if a user doesn't care about their privacy at all, there is still a cost advantage for switching to a Four Horsemen supporting wallet.
Incentives matter in order to achieve privacy by default.

2026-07-18 20:02:25 CEST

You identified the weakest UX flow in the entire spec 🎯
The only scenario where "Solo transaction" is the preferable path in the Four Horsemen workflow would be if the user needs an immediate payment, no batching, and bare minimum transaction fees. Using equal size outputs from taker coinjoins mitigates this.
Payjoin is the next cheapest, fastest option, only consuming ~40% more on chain fees than a solo transaction.

No, it makes sense when you add a third premise:

Tl;dr:
- If you are consolidating UTXOs, use WabiSabi
- If you are sending payments, use WabiSabi for maximum privacy, or Payjoin for lowest fees/wait
- If you are remixing, use ZeroLink
- If you are a whale, use JoinMarket's taker role
- If your node is waiting around, use JoinMarket's maker role
- If you are accepting payments, use Payjoin

Ambitious! My first concern is that this fragments liquidity even further. 5 mix depths is already restrictive, having (long lived) LN channels is somewhat of a counter-incentive.
The problem of overly-passive makers has another solution: Automatically sweep all UTXOs using a taker transaction whenever a mix depth accumulates N number of change/equal output UTXOs. Maybe default 19-21 UTXO limit per mix depth (randomized)?

2026-07-15 13:17:26 CEST

That doesn't get the point across as clearly. Someone might misinterpret "alone" this way:
Operators can never spend their coins without your permission
Clearly stating that they are taking on the risk of theft is the only ethical way to present it.

2026-07-15 12:42:05 CEST

There's a typo: It should say "The operator CAN spend your funds"

Silent Payments (BIP352) is superior than Paynym (BIP47), for both privacy and fees.
Coinjoin has better privacy than Payjoin, but the fees are higher. So it's a tradeoff.

I just explained how your design lets a payjoin sender could drain the receiver's wallet. Do some research before spreading misinformation:
"In exchange for the privacy benefit, the sender has to pay more fees than a normal transaction. It is a con for the sender, but a pro for the receiver, since the receiver does not have to consolidate its coin later." - @nprofile…zq33 (coinventor of payjoin)

2026-03-12 19:32:27 CET

You are wrong. If what you claim were actually implemented, it would create an attack vector where the sender creates a payjoin transaction at a high fee rate and burns the receiver's input.

2026-03-12 19:27:51 CET

- reply

Yes, so the incentive is to "never payjoin" as the sender and "always payjoin" as the receiver.

2026-03-12 19:26:19 CET

A payjoin always has at least 2 inputs, and it always consumes more data than a normal transaction.
