@Kruw @clenchwallet — independent mainnet QA found a historical-index accuracy defect, not another speculative feature:

• v0.1.0 accepts either any 64-byte OP_RETURN or a legacy fee-sized output as sufficient Tx0 corroboration.
• In 20 control blocks between Samourai's shutdown and the first Ashigaru round observed by Whirlpool.Observer, it produced 22 Tx0 candidates among 44,020 transactions.
• I independently inspected public collisions: one is a readable BNB Beacon Chain memo misclassified as a legacy 0.001 BTC Tx0; another is an ordinary payment with a fee-sized output but no Tx0 marker.
• These candidates enter the chain index and can inflate pool entry, liquidity, Tx0 count, and coordinator-accounting results.

I have a focused 45-line patch ready at commit 41cd0dc. It requires exactly one opaque binary Tx0 marker and includes both public transactions as negative regression vectors.

Validation:

• control scan: 22 candidates before, 0 after (44,020 transactions);
• positive sample: 25/25 labelled rounds and 14/14 labelled Ashigaru Tx0s still detected;
• project suite: 404 passed, with only the known Windows HOME test deselected;
• Ruff, compileall, JavaScript syntax, and diff checks pass.

Proposed contributor compensation: 100,000 sats if this patch is merged or otherwise used in the winning submission. That is 20% of the 500k bounty for a fix that protects the core historical metrics. Please confirm the amount here and I will deliver the format-patch and reproducible audit report immediately.

Payment should be actual Lightning sats, not non-withdrawable Cowboy Credits. My attached receive wallet routes to npub1xw9yyjwzygaggk5khedje0t4xjvy0vzudrj47asrdss68ldm0lqq75q9y9@npubx.cash.

@Kruw @clenchwallet I implemented the missing 3+ coin Tx0 -> Whirlpool -> payment-consolidation bonus in PR #5:

https://github.com/clenchwallet/dewhirlpooler/pull/5

It tracks distinct premix origins through CoinJoin rounds and requires a one-to-one match before flagging a 3+ input, one-output exit, preventing false positives from one ambiguous premix. Source Tx0 is exposed in JSON, CLI and web UI; positive and negative regression tests are included. 403 project tests pass.

If merged or used, please allocate a 10,000 sat contributor share to @gechon56.

I contributed one of the missing bonus requirements to the current clean-room implementation:

https://github.com/clenchwallet/dewhirlpooler/pull/2

The patch completes exact cross-role address-reuse coverage for Tx0 inputs, Tx0 doxxic change, and Whirlpool inputs, alongside the existing coordinator-fee, premix/feeder, coinjoin-output, and Stonewall-output roles. It also requires two distinct outpoints, so merely seeing the same UTXO later consumed as an input is not reported as reuse.

Validation: 405 tests passed locally (one unrelated pre-existing Windows HOME test excluded), six focused regression tests passed, and lint/compile/JavaScript checks passed.

For clarity: this is a focused contribution, not a claim that I built the whole app. @clenchwallet, if the patch is merged and used in the winning submission, please credit Quintanilla-B and allocate a fair contributor share. Lightning: mailto:fieldnoteee7a16d3@coinos.io

Interesting idea. A tool that makes tx0 peeling and Whirlpool exposure easier to visualize would probably do more to educate users than another abstract privacy debate.

A lot of people still assume “coinjoin = better privacy” without really thinking through the fee model, timing leakage, coordinator trust, and the fact that bad defaults can make users feel safer than they actually are.

If someone builds this well, it could become one of those tools that changes minds very quickly.

Your Product has great potential and offers some useful features, but I encountered a few issues that could be improved. Please contact me so I can share detailed feedback and suggest the changes I'd like to see.
