Research Exchange and Payment processor integration

[molnard]

There are many concerns about integrating payment processors, exchanges - businesses into Wasabi. This is only a theoretical plan yet and Wasabi will always be a privacy-oriented wallet and never be profit-oriented. But there are so many benefits to this topic that we must at least start researching the opportunities.

Cons:

• Amounts are much larger, they can crowd out individual users.
• Can perform Sybil attacks if they provide too many participants.
• Businesses might need 24/7 duty and guarantees.
• Resources on maintenance will increase.

Pros:

• Increase liquidity.
• Speed up CoinJoins.
  • Faster rounds.
  • Higher amount levels.
  • More Anonymity set.

Questions to research:

• What are their visions about gaining privacy?
• How are these Businesses are storing their Bitcoins currently?
• How are these systems work?
• How much are they willing to pay as a fee?
• What kind of interface would they need? How do they imagine the procedure to and from CoinJoin?
