Quantifying Payjoin Privacy

Quantifying Payjoin Privacy

Goals

  • bolster the assumption that bitcoin is fungible
  • escape Unnecessary Input Heuristic (UIH) & pre-tracked TXOs
  • avoid introducing new heuristics

Uneccesary Input Heuristic (UIH) in Payjoin

Unneccesary Input Heuristic

PayJoins help bitcoin users preserve their privacy because they bring ambiguity into blockchain analysis. Today's PayJoins are blockchain entries that are many-input and 2-output transactions. So the fact that multiple users can contribute inputs to one transaction breaks [the oldest assumption in blockchain analysis]. Still, lesser known "unecessary input heuristics" identify potential PayJoins:

UIH 1: One output is smaller than any input; Assume that output is change

Today's PayJoin clients avoid creating transactions that conform to UIH 1. This heuristic assumption is usually right. The heuristic assumes wrong if the change output is of much higher value than the payment, which is unusual. BTCPayServer code will not create these types of transactions.

UIH 2: The largest output is funded without the smallest

What is the Payjoin SDK and How does it work?

The Payjoin SDK/rust-payjoin is the most well-tested and flexible library for BIP 78 Payjoin and related privacy practices.

The primary crate, payjoin, is runtime-agnostic. Data persistence, chain interactions, and networking may be provided by custom implementations or copy the reference payjoin-client + bitcoind, nolooking + LND integration, or bitmask-core + BDK integrations.

The following is a breakdown of the existing documentation and its application to the payjoin-client reference implementation.
