Note how this is obviously an unsustainable situation - at some point that change needs to be combined again, or you're throwing away money in the form of UTXO's that aren't ever getting spent. Meanwhile, if you put it another way the segwit discount is an obvious advantage for coinjoin: by making spending UTXO's cheaper, we can recover those funds that would otherwise get lost to dust, becoming ever more difficult to spend. -- https://petertodd.org 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org
