Show Notes

Armin Sabouri recently demonstrated how wallet fingerprints can be used to decompose payjoin transactions and recover payment amounts, and in this episode he explains what that means for privacy tools across the board. Shinobi and Armin discuss why standardization efforts like BIP 69 backfired, whether randomization can help, and how wallets can stop standing out on-chain.
