Wasabi Wallet leaves US
According to Wasabi Wallet,
the zkSNACKs coordinator is now blocking U.S. residents and citizens from using its coinjoin service.
Recently Phoenix Wallet has decided to leave US. Samourai arrest is spreading fear among wallet developers.
I thought a lot, but I drew an answer: how will a self-custodial wallet know who is a citizen of which country?
Your keys are your coins.
Perhaps wallet developers are just trying to play safe in case something like the Samourai Wallet incident happens with them.
(Samourai Wallet co-founder Keonne Rodriguez is arrested in the US, and the US is trying to get another co-founder, William Lonergan Hill, who is in Portugal.)
