Replying to @Bitcoinbeach @wasabiwallet
Let me attempt it here.
Genesis: zkSNACKs, the company that has been running the default Wasabi Wallet (wasabiwallet.io/) coordinator has stopped running it. This made Wasabi unable to coinjoin by default.
As a consequence of these news, other coordinators has been launched by various entities: wasabist.io/
The technical and regulatory approaches of these coordinators differ. Furthermore, anonymity loves company, therefore liquidity of these coordinators is of utmost importance. In the future I expect the Pareto principle to take place and have one coordinator to emerge as the main one. For now, the liquidity is pretty dispersed (@LiquiSabi.) In sum they are handling 5-10% of the original zkSNACKs coinjoin volume.
The community created a bunch of ways to connect Wasabi to a coordinator: change the config file (was there since the beginning of times), change settings, use a nostr based coordinator discovery that changes the config for you, in case of Ginger Wallet, you can download a new software since it's direct fork.
I won't go into details with any of these, I'm just noting that whenever you selected a coordinator, there'll be an explanation how to add it.
Some notes on the coordinators with the most liquidity:
1. btcpay.kruw.io: largest liquidity, ran by @Kruwed, a highly competent zkSNACKs non-dev contributor, regulatory strategy: doesn't charge fees
2. api.gingerwallet.io: largest dev team, ran by 4 highly competent zkSNACKs dev contributors, one half-dev contributor and a non-dev contributor, regulatory strategy: blacklisting
3. api.wasabicoordinator.io: ran by anonymous individuals, I don't know much about them, but based on their website and branding they seem competent, regulatory strategy: anonymity
