Zksnacks was built through years of sweat and blood by @nopara73 with no funding. Everything had to be researched and built from scratch, with not even a fraction of available research, resources and tooling. The amount of work that has been put into it and over such a long span of time is incomprehensible unless you've seen it unfold in front of you leading to the giant zksnacks ended up being.
Mutiny's journey is still young but what they've built on a relatively small startup budget is insane.
Your coinjoin protocol is barely a protocol and is so basic and missing key aspects that nobody that's been in this long enough will take seriously. And if you want their level of resources commit to it and raise money like mutiny did.
Every post about coinjoin, you spam/hijack shilling your stuff. It's rude, and really annoying.

And once you get wabisabi payjoin, it gets even better, because the receiver breaks down the payment directly to denominations (if they want) and the sender wouldnt even know where his payment went, while still having a proof of payment! This avoids requiring yet another coinjoin transaction to break the link from sender and receiver. And even better, the receiver doesn't even learn the coins used that fulfilled the payment!

On July 28th, I submitted my proposal to @HRF for the Serverless Payjoin bounty: Payjoin over Nostr.
You can read the protocol addendum here: https://github.com/Kukks/BTCPayServer.BIP78/blob/nostr/BTCPayServer.BIP78.Nostr/README.md
The proposal is incredibly simple in nature, just as BIP78 was designed to be, to increase adoption chances. All logic within the Payjoin protocol stays the same, so the version is still 1. It is asynchronous (receiver can process later when back online), encrypted (communication is end-to-end encrypted), and lightweight (no server requirement, leverages existing Nostr network).
In addition to this, I also added building blocks for a new experimental addition: Nostr Payjoin Market.
If your wallet supports receiving Payjoin, you can share a static payjoin endpoint using the Nostr Coinjoin Discovery protocol (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/384). Other wallets, which support Payjoin but want to send money to wallets that don't, can use these static endpoints to enhance their transactions. The goal? Make every transaction to every wallet a coinjoin.
See the sample wallet code and additional detailed description: https://github.com/Kukks/BTCPayServer.BIP78/tree/nostr/BIP78SampleWallet
See quick video demo of prototype:

I've often said that social Nostr is the most boring variant of what can be done, but even that isn't boring! It's beautiful seeing clients that can mimic every other closed platform's UX, but are still interoperable.
Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, etc.
Nostr is everything!
This is really cool: https://live.snort.social/live/naddr1qq9rzd3c8qcrxwfexy6qygrrle333hzctq70u95pp7rd6z0p307hd24uyjsqs88zs4hnxpgya5psgqqqwenscgn3np

My relay implementation supports this but I fear it would be too much of a ux issue, and it requires on a balance mechanism within the relay

In btcpay we have a concept of pull payments where a store can generate one with a specific amount and currency and once you share the url to it, another wallet or service can pull from it until the threshold is reached. Even has a feature so that it resets the amount at intervals, so would work great with this kind of thing. Only issue is that it's yet another api protocol that would need to be supported by wallets and services

This is easily becoming the best nostr bot. Would be cool if we can get some sub protocol to define "radios" or "playlists" through sequential notes

Working on massively simplifying my relay code of NNostr https://github.com/kukks/nnostr. Recently, @lontivero asked me why my relay logic was so different to the rest, so here is my story:
Back in 2021, we had to do assumptions on how clients would utilize subscriptions and filters. There were only
A handful UI clients back then doing mostly the same thing and realistically 0 users as all the notes were just tests. Would everyone generally just create identical subscriptions? Would they have massive filters sets per subscription? Would filters be a template that everyone mix and matched into subscriptions? Was anyone even going to use any of this?
As usual I went nuts and started building it super optimized from the get go. Every filter from every subscription was hashed and used as an identifier so that no duplicate sql call would be needed when users requested the same filters.
Realistically though, nip01 still needed to mature and the filter spec gradually changed to introduce more convenience, such as paging and date ranges. This made writing clients way more efficient, but unfortunately made my optimizations just a bunch of crazy useless magic as filters were always different due to more precise query capabilities.
I'm still happy with my relay code though, it comes with unique features such as a builtin balance system, fee charge on new keys and on per event basis, dynamic event fee based on event size, a chat bot for administration, and other fun stuff.
Soon I'll be changing the filtering code to a more simplistic style, and I'm hopeful to eventually also find some more crazy stuff to build for it! I do have some interesting client side nostr bitcoin stuff being prototyped on the other end 😉
Always looking for feedback and ideas, feel free to reach out!

Currently fixing my relay as it needs a few quality of life improvements (it was designed with nostr protocol as at 2021 when there were no users, few clients, and different nip1 parameters) so assumptions were made for optimizations).
But yes, I suggest an update first. I'm still heavily iterating on functionality and the btcpay plugin system is still in its infancy which causes incompatibility between versions of plugins and btcpay.
In the meantime, I'll create a dedicated channel somewhere so that BTCPay coinjoin users can provide direct feedback. Unsure if it should be on nostr, or our mattermost server (https://chat.btcpayserver.org)

Yes, it's there but I'm still tweaking additional stuff around my nostr library to optimize things. Also released a standalone app that manages your Wasabi wallet to use it but we need a new wasabi release first

How does a relay force a client to show an ad? How do you know that a client actually shows the ad instead of lying?
I think the incentives here are tricky. In your definition, you assume a client and a relay have a trusted relationship to prevent malice.
This is more suited on a client and user relation. Relays need a different approach imo
