I copy/paste my response here:
Joinmarket's coordination model is unique and awesome because the coordinator is just one of the people in the coinjoin (the "taker"), changes in ~every round, and does not take a fee -- rather, they pay fees to the makers.
I do not like that the coordinator in joinmarket can map everyone's inputs to their outputs. This could be fixed with blind signatures and I am happy to help make this happen if it would be a welcome change in joinmarket. I also do not like that there *is* a coordinator.
If it's possible to do this stuff without a coordinator, why have one? A deterministic protocol like emessbee removes variables introduced through the coordination mechanism. And it also might keep some people out of jail til the feds criminalize mere participation too.
