Wasabi Wallet 1.0 Is Released

The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks


I am speechless. Anonymous Bitcoin… at last. The past three years of my life
has been leading up to this moment. Announcing the 1.0 release of Wasabi
Wallet makes me excited, but also… terrified. Once in a while something
happens that completely changes the course of history and this is such a
moment. It is a truly historic one. If it goes well, after Bitcoin takes over the
world, we will live in a free one, and not in an enslaved one. There is still a lot
to do. A lot to build, a lot to refine, but the genie is out of the bottle and it will
be bloody hard to stop it.

Happy 10th Bitcoin whitepaper anniversary to everyone!


Download Wasabi

…from its website over the clearnet (https://wasabiwallet.io/) or over Tor. (http://wasabiukrxmkdgve5kynjztuovbg43uxcbcxn6y2okcrsg7gb6jdmbad.onion/)

Wasabi In A Nutshell

Wasabi is a privacy focused, Bitcoin wallet for Windows, Linux and OSX. It is
the only deployed truly light wallet that protects you from information leak
against network adversary. Wasabi has a high volume built in mixing
functionality, based on Chaumian CoinJoin. Wasabi also comes with an
advanced coin control feature and an intra-wallet blockchain analysis tool to
help you make educated decisions at spending.
It is easier to use than it sounds.

I Don’t Need Privacy Right Now, Maybe Later

Anonymity Loves Company. (https://www.freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/usability:weis2006.pdf) The more users use Wasabi, the more privacy it
provides and the faster it provides it. Anonymity systems need to be bootstrapped
and this is why Wasabi needs you and it needs you right now.

the system and to make Bitcoin fungible again!

A privacy wallet for Bitcoin that's out of Beta, nicely done. Can't say I've heard about this before, so wonder where all the beta testing took place. By chance, any link to Samourai (gleaning from the Japanese inspiration...).

Definitely want to try this out, even if the fact that it's native Segwit only might mean (by their own admission) some form of privacy lost (but only revealing Wasabi coinjoin utxo).

Only note that possible leaks could happen with wallet recovery... and I recover my wallets quite often! Just because I delete the client after using on most devices.

Still... looks a decent light client on paper. Anyone else give this a whirl?

What does 0.1 btc minimum mean? Does it mean I must have a minimum of 0.1BTC to participate in a coinjoin tx?

This means that the input you are using to participate in the coinjoin features has to be more than 0.1 BTC.

So, owning more than 0.1 BTC is not enough, you need to use/spend more than 0.1 BTC in such a transaction.

I've heard about Wasabi mostly on Reddit, nice to finally see a thread about it on Bitcointalk. I was already wondering when you'd show up :)

I have yet to test-drive this wallet, but it's definitely good to see some innovation in the Bitcoin wallet space.

Yeah, figured. But that would be stupid to say you need to have 0.1BTC in the wallet but need not use it.

Unfortunately the coins I want to put in a coinjoin is only 0.01BTC. rip

0.1BTC minimum sucks. On the bright side the intuition is clear with Unequal Input Mixing, it just needs some more research: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/Meta/blob/master/README.md#unequal-input-mixing

Are there any plans to implement more privacy-focused features like TumbleBit? I have been told that Breeze wallet did that but until now, I'm not sure what are the differences between it and CoinJoin and If it's any better.

This is interesting. White the thread is primarily about privacy can you post
Details about the security, private keys, seeds. I currently use Exodus desktop
wallet and we all know there is a degree of centralisation there.
How would Wasabi be different jn this regard?

You can read about our plan under the "IV. Bitcoin Privacy Improvements" section of our "A Technical Overview of Wasabi Wallet, Future Ideas, Plans and Strategy" document: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/Meta/#iv-bitcoin-privacy-improvements 

Regarding TumbleBit: no. I spent a year of trying to make that work, but when I wrote the blog post "TumbleBit vs CoinJoin" (https://medium.com/@nopara73/tumblebit-vs-coinjoin-15e5a7d58e3) I realized we can do better with a specific type of CoinJoin, which at the time I called "CoinJoin as envisioned" and ended up designing and later implementing ZeroLink into Wasabi: https://github.com/nopara73/ZeroLink/

The wallet is not that new, It used to be called HiddenWallet and If you check the GitHub repository, you'll see the number of contributors, forks, stars etc. so the answer for your question is yes, this should be stable and safe to use If that's what you're asking.

Robert Steinadler writing for the German website bitcoin-kurier.de (https://bitcoin-kurier.de/) released an article in German about the Wasabi Wallet on 25th February:

"
Bitcoin transactions are not anonymous, but pseudonymous.
Although many users feel safe behind their computer, you can analyze transactions.
Many users are of the opinion that this is not bad. Is that so?

"

1. Why minimum amount of Bitcoin constantly changed? Few days ago, it was about 0.099BTC, but now it's about 0.11BTC
2. Is it possible to manually select connected peers, such as our own full nodes?

1. Sorry, this was the first change the past half a year. I've been wanting to make this change a long time since it's simpler to work with 0.1x than 0.09x and I thought this may be the right time.

2.  Partly. For now if you have a full node running on the same computer Wasabi will download blocks from that instead of peers. We are working on more comprehensive full node integrations, too, we just added this partial Bitcoin Core integration first, because it was a low hanging fruit.

I'm currently testing coinjoin but it seems I can make anonymize transaction or a clean/private coin and merge all transaction into one?

Is it possible to merge all transaction after coinjoin or I mean I would like to make an anonymous transaction through coinjoin but I'd like them to become one so that no bitcoin remaining in my wallet when sending it. is it possible?

Edit: I end up mixing coins to chipmixer anyway, I learned something how their coinjoin works.

What does 0.1 btc minimum mean? Does it mean I must have a minimum of 0.1BTC to participate in a coinjoin tx?


This means that the input you are using to participate in the coinjoin features has to be more than 0.1 BTC.

So, owning more than 0.1 BTC is not enough, you need to use/spend more than 0.1 BTC in such a transaction.
Yeah, figured. But that would be stupid to say you need to have 0.1BTC in the wallet but need not use it.

Unfortunately the coins I want to put in a coinjoin is only 0.01BTC. rip

Was about to install it until I read this. Seems not suitable for me, for now. 0.01 is near reach. I hope you guys can minimize this at least.

That’s the minimum amount to participate in a Coinjoin tx (a type of decentralizated mixer) and not to use the wallet.

congratulations to wasabi wallet, it is well deserved!

Code:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Hello all,

this is to announce that we're awarding:
* 10 BTC to JoinMarket, for the first practical CoinJoin solution, and continued research into progressing this domain.
* 10 BTC to Wasabi, for building a more end-user accessible solution and larger adoption.

The remainder of the funds is left for future solutions with more ubiquitous impact on the ecosystem.

For those watching, 822f559df14894bd57bdd1ef0ab983228b7816a69d035cc1c5d18fb569ee5e94 is the payout transaction, crediting
several individual contributors directly as requested by the winning projects, and aggregating the remaining bounty funds
into a single UTXO. It is (obviously) a joined transaction, mixed with other transfers.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Wasabi and JoinMarket developers! JoinMarket pioneered a lot of CoinJoin science (and BTW, belcher wrote an excellent & comprehensive wiki article on privacy (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Privacy)), while Wasabi is the first wallet that implements CoinJoin in both a highly-usable and sound way. As both a signer and a donor to the CoinJoin bounty fund, I'm thrilled that these two pieces of software exist!

For everyone looking to improve their privacy, I highly recommend checking out Wasabi, especially over centralized "mixers".



Further work is still necessary toward achieving default-fungibility, which is IMO the end goal. Even with Wasabi, you need a fair bit of expertise to maintain privacy, and the vast majority of people are using wallets that are terrible privacy-wise. Without intending to say that the bounty fund will reward people for these specific things, I'd personally like to see:

 - Improvements to make Wasabi more of a complete wallet.
 - CoinJoin integration in other wallets, especially Bitcoin Core.
 - Research on doing CoinJoin in decentralized ways. (Wasabi's method is pretty secure, but requires a centralized coordinator.)
 - Other research (and, perhaps more importantly, usable products) for improving day-to-day privacy.

No. But AFAIK it is (or at least it was) planned: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/Meta/issues/9

Only if it's a bech32 wallet.

No, if it's generated from Electrum even it's bench32 (bc1) addresses it will give you different addresses after you recover with a seed generated from Electrum.

I already tested it and it gives me different addresses.

Oh really? Is this some configuration issue? I only tested the other way around. 

There's one trick you have to pay attention that comes to my mind. In Wasabi we use password as the passphrase, so you cannot arbitrarily choose your password in the recovery tab, because it'll act like a passphrase, too. You will want to leave the password empty in case you don't have a passphrase in Electrum.

I've recommended wasabi to so many people at this point but never thought to look for posts on bitcointalk. It came at just the right time with all centralized mixers getting pwned in one swipe. I'll be following along to see what else comes up down the road!

I was browsing reddit & saw this tweet

If you are using wasabi, you need to read this thread: https://t.co/FL7f30nWeC

"With Wasabi if you are mixing 10 BTC, I can trivially track that 10 BTC as it is peeled down into smaller utxos. The left over change is part of the mix tx, and thus creates a determinstic link"

I have concern about part where Wasabi CoinJoin output is ordered by registration/enqueue time, i checked few of CoinJoin history & apparently most of them have behavior mentioned on twitter/telegram. Any thoughts?

The developer responded about that accusation yesterday: https://medium.com/@nopara73/wasabileaks-is-wasabi-wallet-deanonymized-5e3f679d866e

I found this while doing some research on JoinMarket, Wasabi, and Samourai. It's a PSA/blog made by Samourai's team, of all people.

nopara73, can you comment?

https://medium.com/samourai-wallet/updated-psa-wasabi-wallet-is-the-target-of-ongoing-behavior-that-appears-to-be-a-sybil-attack-6674a322e187

Quote

On July 22nd we disclosed that an unknown entity was engaging in a strange pattern of address reuse within Wasabi Wallet transactions created since June 1, 2019. The disclosure focused on a single entity (ANON-2300390908). This entity was easy to discover due to very uncommon behavior, such as using the same address on both sides of a mix transaction. Our claim was that this behavior could indicate an attempt to de-anonymize users of the platform as well as highlighting an incomplete implementation of the ZeroLink protocol as coded by Wasabi Wallet.

Our continued investigations have revealed systematic and ongoing patterns of behavior resembling a Sybil attack within the Wasabi platform. There are a small number of entities (perhaps a small group of users, or a single user) that represent a large part of the UTXOs active in Wasabi mix transactions. This activity has been ongoing in various waves of intensity since January 2019.

Few concerns are answered on https://medium.com/@nopara73/address-reuse-in-wasabi-ef9e308c9175 which written on same day as Samourai's article.
I'm not sure whether it's response to Samourai's article or written after Samourai's article posted though

we had this situation before and i start to believe samourai does this all on purpose to pick a fight with wasabi.
maybe... some of their concerns are even legit... but their presentation is a tiny bit too dramatic to be considered as just a friendly criticism.
i am with team wasabi. go debunk that shite!


Title: Re: Wasabi Wallet 1.0 Is Released

A Sybil attack is when one party participates in a coinjoin with most of the peers. For example Samourai knows everyone's past and future wallet addresses, except the few Dojo users. In this case Dojo users are Sybil attacked by Samourai by design. In Wasabi, the participant who reuses 2 addresses in many rounds only participates as one peer in a round. This party participated in 10% of the coinjoins only as one peer. 99% of us in a round are not affected. Then they go on to talk about other kind of address reuses, like donations and coordinator address and such and somehow want to extend the logic of the first case, which was flawed to begin with to these too. The fact of the matter is that no other address reuse types reuse addresses in both the input and in the output side, so Sybil is not even a question here. But also, getting back to their first example, if someone would want to Sybil, then that someone wouldn't modify Wasabi's code to reuse 2 addresses in the first place, because a successful Sybil attack needs to be unnoticed. The only thing that address reuser achieved is for Samourai to build a carefully engineered media lie campaign. Only they benefited from this and nobody's privacy has been ruined by this. Based on their scammer history, chances are they're doing that in the first place.

But then, is there any other reason for "why" the address reuse by that particular "participant"? The question not intended as a challenge, but out of curiousity.

Why that strange behavior happened is a great mystery. The only theory I could come up with that actually made sense is that it's Samourai itself, of course I have no idea, nor days or weeks to investigate it.

Who'd have thought that these wallets would be battling for supremacy only to bring about mutually assured denouncement?

Been completely unaware of all this background happenings in Samourai, but I wonder if anyone else notice this aggressive response to criticism is something a bit more common in dev-world? I totally get the defensiveness, I'd be all up in arms if someone criticised my work, but then I wouldn't go down warpaths haranguing other devs.

A belated question: but Samourai and Wasabi... any reason for these names? HiddenWallet, DarkWallet... and then this move. A vague link to Nakamoto etymology?

I was slightly doubting nopara73, honestly. Sorry.

Samourai likes to advertise features that they don't actually have, and add "features" that don't do what they claim.

Their reaction to me calling them out, has so far been to troll me. I think others calling them out have received the same treatment.

Yes, many of your UX critics are correct, so if that's your criteria of qualifying it as "useless" then it indeed is.

I realise this isn't the default support channel, but since i'm not a redditor and the lead dev seems to visit this thread once in a while, i decided to post my question here :)

I found some strange behaviour on the TESTNET, i didn't lose anything, not even TESTNET coins, but if i weren't on the TESTNET, my heart would have skipped a beat.

The setup:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Wasabi version: 1.1.10.2
Tor Disabled
Local node enabled
bitcoin core is sync'ed
backend is connected

https://i.imgur.com/ZJ5vmJb.png

I have funded, and moved around a couple addresses with some tBTC, then closed the gui and waited for a clean shutdown.
Afterwards, i restarted wasabi, waited untill the node was up and running again, opened my wallet.... Aaaand.... No funds  ???

I restored the wallet in electrum and see all those transactions funding my addresses... But in wasabi: nothing.

However, when i create a new address, the key path is 84'/0'/0'/0/9. So Wasabi knows it already derived 8 addresses and they were funded, but it decided not to show those transactions funding those first 8 addresses...

https://i.imgur.com/LUQbeJj.png

https://i.imgur.com/IZA0geQ.png

If i fund address 84'/0'/0'/0/9 (tb1q57p5taq0dvlpm7url7n2kdh90h5n2mug5aays3), the transaction shows up, but it remains unconfirmed (eventough core is synchronised and the backend is connected, and the transaction IS in fact confirmed)... (i messed up and send 1 mtBTC instead of 1BTC, but this isn't the problem, i funded the other 8 addresses with inputs of up to 5 tBTC)

I used an unspent output funding a previously derived wasabi address to fund address 84'/0'/0'/0/9, and wasabi detected the transaction that funded both 84'/0'/0'/0/9 AND the change address 84'/0'/0'/1/1

https://i.imgur.com/WpvIZYR.png

https://i.imgur.com/TooHCPf.png


Soooo... Basically, i ended up with wasabi telling me i have a wallet with 0.00129791 tBTC, 2 unspent outputs from one transaction... While electrum tells me this wallet is funded with 5.57983242 tBTC, 6 unspent outputs funding  6 addresses (including 2 change addresses).

If i close wasabi and re-open it, i'm sure that wasabi will tell me i have an empty wallet (already tested this a couple times before to confirm the behaviour).

Since it's a testnet wallet, can you share your extpubkey? With this we can avoid back and forth debugging. In the wallet file there's a line:


Code:
"ExtPubKey": "xpub12234"

No problem, like you say: it's a testnet wallet :)
Code:
"ExtPubKey": "xpub6DWrfCFdchVSbJ8vTprYwoXwy3Z8rucCS7Kv24WgFdexQWuayE36ARNGNdbc8xktgbn5WnVVoW15qWCSLXcJVnqYz4e6uizNLjX4TSFdJQu",
Like i said: no harm was done, it's all on the testnet, and i can use electrum to recover my unspent outputs (sufficiently large tBTC outputs are hard to come by nowadays), but i tought it would be good if i didn't give up on wasabi, but rather tried to give you the info you need to find the problem.

Actually I don't need it, as I got the same report from someone else, too. Turns out on the coordinator side the filters on the testnet got stuck at block 1639121. While according to SmartBit the latest block is 1663495. This happened like 2-3 times on the testnet before, as testnet is often acting crazy.  I restarted it, it should catch up in a few minutes.

Three questions...

1] want to stack sats?
2] want to contribute to Bitcoin privacy and Wasabi?
3] are You an artist?

then create beautiful designs and earn up to 0.1 bitcoin!

https://github.com/zkSNACKs/Meta/issues/76

We would like to collaborate with artists to create beautiful merchandise that reflects the values of Bitcoin privacy and the Wasabi brand. In order to reward the peers who craft these, there will be yet another Contribution Game (https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/building-wasabi/ContributionGame.html)!

The Task

Create a design that is a piece of art, not just the Wasabi logo. It may reflect the topic of privacy in general, Bitcoin and Wasabi specifically. There are no clear guideline, let Your imagination fly.

The art will be displayed on:

    T-Shirts
    Hoodies
    Stickers
    Hats
    Facemasks
    Mugs
    whatever else You come up with

We will then print the design in large quantities, and distribute them to other Wasabikas.

The bounty

zkSNACKs has offered a budget of up to 0.1 bitcoin [yes, 10 MILLION coinjoined satoshis!!]. It will be granted to those who provide the most beautiful designs. The exact amount distributed will depend on the quantity of participating artists, and the quality of their work. The jury is the zkSNACKs team and the Wasabi community in a transparent decision-making process.
Who can participate?

Anyone! Simply send us Your design suggestions on Twitter (https://twitter.com/wasabiwallet), Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/WasabiWallet/), Telegram (https://t.me/WasabiWallet) or under this issue.

Do you install Tor on your system? Wasabi Wallet will try to use Tor which is installed on your system, before using Tor which included on Wasabi Wallet.

If not, please try install Tor and configure it to use one of obfs4 bridge you know, then try to run Wasabi wallet again.

Just a quick question to the OP (or anybody else that knows the answer for that matter).

Why does my gut feeling tells me the minimum amount to participate in coinjoins only seems to go up?
  • IIRC, the first time i looked at the wallet, the minimum amount was pretty low (my memory tells me it was like ~0.01, but i could be waaaay of).
  • The first time i actually wanted to participate in a coinjoin, the minimum amount rose to ~0.05 (IIRC), while at the same time the price also went waaaay up. Since, at that point, i didn't want to risk 0.05, i used a trusted mixer instead
  • The first time i actually participated in a coinjoin, the minimum amount was ~0.09
  • At this moment, the minimum amount is ~0.11

In all fairness, i get why you don't want to have 0.001 BTC as minimum amount, you've promoted the coinjoin feature to be very cost-effective, and if you're building giant coinjoin transactions with a huge amount of inputs and outputs that have a value of ~0.001 BTC, you can't say you'll have a fee of 0.003% per anonimity set, and you wouldn't help your enduser nor the blockchain by creating thousands of 0.001-valued unspent outputs.
However, there's a big difference between 0.001 (~$8) and the current ~0.11 (~$850), and the fact that my gut feeling tells me it's just going upwards regardless of the average fee per vbyte or the fiat exchange rate makes me worry what minimum amounts we'll see in the future (i don't think that at this rate it'll take very long before we breach the minimum $1000 equivalent as a minimum amount to participate in a coinjoin).

Could the developers give some extra insight if they plan to make coinjoin more accessible for the broad public (people that don't have 0.11 BTC, or are unwilling to "test" out coinjoining with such a large chunk of money)? I, for one, wouldn't mind paying more than (0.003 * 51)% if that would mean i could participate in a coinjoin with 0.05 BTC instead of 0.11 BTC

I've found discussions on reddit talking about this subject, but i didn't really feel they completely answered my question (for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/WasabiWallet/comments/c2sizh/coinjoin_minimum_of_approximately_1100aud/)

Hope we won't find any blockers.

It looks like Chaumian CoinJoins can be generalized in a way that instead of blinding outputs, random credentials get blinded. This could lead to spending exact amounts in coinjoins, maybe removing the minimum denomination and maybe not creating any change in the mix at all.

Is there some research, and development being done to achieve "hidden" CoinJoins? That, would be the crowning glory achievement for fungibility in Bitcoin in my opinion.

There's the P2EP line of research: https://medium.com/@nopara73/pay-to-endpoint-56eb05d3cac6

IMO we need to not disrupt UX for that, which ultimately comes down to waiting for Taproot: https://gist.github.com/NicholasTailor/b075ac92c22923c33eddfa38488719d6

Nevertheless we're also implementing it to Wasabi to be compatible with BTCPay, but I doubt its current state would see significant usage, if any at all: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/pull/3256

Sorry to ping this back but I didn't see a response and after catching up after all this while, I'm surprised to see the min has gone up because I can confirm from my memory, the last min I recall was 0.01+

I consider myself a member of the broad public -- with decent technical knowledge of average bitcoin use but not adequate to confidently risk money on testing CJ -- and even 0.01 was a significant barrier.

Try to check Logs.txt in Wasabi directory (should be located on /path/to/your/user/.wasabiwallet) and see if there's anything useful.
Have you checked if there are any anti-virus/firewall which block your connection?
I don't use any anti virus. I see two log file TorLogs.tx and logs.txt, I am not sure which one. Also not connected into bitcoin node (off), don't have space to downloading block.

The problem is related with Tor network, usually because you got bad circuit. There are 3 things you could do :
1. Make sure your computer clock time is configured correctly. Tor won't work if your computer clock time is configured incorrectly.
2. Close and reopen Wasabi Wallet or restart your computer.
3. Use another ISP provider.

But if you were to use BTC (not tBTC/testnet bitcoin) and actually care about privacy, don't share your address/tx id unless it's necessary.

I've been a wasabi user for a long time, and this report actually makes me even more inclined to use my wasabi wallet even more frequently...
They basically say it doesn't look good for law enforcement, so if they don't know how to handle these transactions, i feel rather confident my funds are properly anonimised.

That being said, i do fear that the attention of law enforcement towards coinjoined transactions might end up in some kind of law that forces exchanges or payment providers to either block these funds or make us go trough even more hoops in order to spend our funds.

But the interesting part is they mentioned "Dutch FIOD has started promising technical research into behavior and demixing of Wasabi transactions", it's interesting how they achieve that (assuming it's true), would they look for another user behavior,  vulnerabilities in Tor or even vulnerability of the blind signature itself?

My guess is that a lot of users aren't careful with their post-mixing behaviour (many mistakes can be committed here, often unwittingly).

It's already often the case without relevant legislation if there aren't enough hops between a deposit or a withdrawal. They can also just ask everyone for source of funds.

Yeah, i've read similar horror stories aswell. Lucky for me i haven't exchanged crypto<->fiat or fiat<->crypto in a long time. I've also heared horror stories about bitpay aswell, so i now try to stay away from them.

To be honest, most of my funds were exchanged legally in 2014-2016,  from online work i did or from sig campaign earnings... I would have a hard time proving the source of my funds (it has moved wallets soooo many times, forks were claimed, p2pkh => nested segwit => segwit, mixed, coinjoined,...) , so i really dread the day they take my own money hostage.

In Europe, under AMLD5, if one has to use whatever exchange to go in and out of fiat then expect to be asked for the infamous source of funds.
If we are talking peanuts there shouldn't be many problems but for large sums expect to be scrutinized like hell.
I believe all our privacy tools are good only into the bitcoin world: if we do real p2p btc txs or if we use the LN, for instance. The moment we link that to the fiat world, unfortunately, all those checks are inevitable.
Exchanges do real-time monitoring nowadays and every tx is flagged: they mixed analytics services and chain analysis tools to understand where your btc have originated in the past. If there's no link between your documentation and their analysis, game over.

tl;dr Privacy tools are fantastic, but don't expect them to be useful when you want to cash out from exchanges.

Most likely, i've seen users who ignore anonymity color (green, yellow or red) or use all inputs at once.

tl;dr Privacy tools are fantastic, but don't expect them to be useful when you want to cash out from exchanges.

Good point. The only alternative is only buy digital coupon or gift card if you want to buy something from specific store.


BISQ.

Or create good/trusting relationships with trustworthy traders in LocalBitcoins, then trade directly. Because the true potential of Bitcoin might only be attained through peer to peer trade/commerce, and the incapability of a centralized third party to censor you.

I don't think you get what I am talking about. What if I want to be able to exchange my bitcoin for fiat and I need to exchange large sums? Would you do that on BISQ? You can't because of the very low volumes they have.
Would you do that on LocalBitcoin? You can't unless you want to have to move around with tons of cash (and I bet you wouldn't find such trades).

My point is, for the sake of convenience, people would like to exchange btc for fiat in a bank because in the end we all need to live.
If you have mixed, coinjoined coins and else, very few (none) exchanges will allow you do cash out.

That's the thing: if we are talking peanuts ok, go to bisq or local bitcoin but if you are talking big money forget about that unless you have a provable source of funds.

Again tl;dr Privacy tools are fantastic, but don't expect them to be useful when you want to cash out from exchanges (large sums).

More than $100,000 large?

Large sums, attempting to cash out through exchanges, and to your bank, would require a high standard of scrutiny, with or without the use of cryptocurrency privacy tools. Your problem is with the banks, not Bitcoin and privacy tools.

No you can not.

The password is not used to encrypt your wallet file, but to encrypt your seed (from which all private keys are derived).
Setting a password now would mean that you receive new private keys and therefore new addresses.

What you can do, is to restore a new wallet using the same mnemonic code and adding the password.
You will have a "fresh" wallet with no balance. Then you can send everything from your "old" wallet to your new wallet.

You could delete the wallet files directly, but there's no need to delete it on first place, unless you want to make your Wasabi Wallet looks tidy.

Sorry but in windows 10 wasabi software i dont found the way to delete one wallet. Is important for me because in the wallet0 i dont set the pasword but i learn i dont whrote the seed neither  :( so is a wallet useless.

Wait, did i understand you correctly that you did not wrote down your mnemonic code ?
How were you able to create your 2nd mnemonic with the password then? Or did you create a new one?

Nevertheless, make sure to have a backup of your mnemonic code for every wallet you want to use.


To delete a wallet in windows, navigate to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\WalletWasabi.
Then there is a file for each wallet: walletname.json.

Recently, Wasabi Wallet has released an official response to Twitter hack https://blog.wasabiwallet.io/wasabi-response-twitter-hack-bitcoin/ but shortly after that they deleted it from blog page. Archive version can be found here https://archive.is/tBm7g

Who knows the reason why they suddenly changed their minds and chose not to response whatsoever?

I mostly agree with what written in the aforementioned article. We can't blame open software for being open. We can't blame decentralized bitcoin protocol for being decentralized, neutral and permissionless. We can't blame people defending own rights, privacy, no one should ban people from using open software and open protocols. Most people using privacy-focused software such as Wasabi are not criminals, they just claim their rights on privacy and freedom of speech.

Maybe because their statement could be twisted, then used to attack them? Besides, silence is golden.

This. In a nutshell.

But I can elaborate though: There was some miscommunication internally. Journalists were asking for comments, but releasing articles before we get to respond, so I told the guys that next time try to respond in a more timely manner.
Then someone who's still new thought my intention with that comment was to try to get more media attention out of it as soon as possible, so he wrote and published the article, and by the time I woke up... well, you know the rest.

Aside from my skepticism since it's first time i heard about Chaincase, maximum 6 participant is worrying from privacy perspective.
The privacy could broke easily if majority participant is being stupid (e.g. combine multiple input from different source on a transaction).


Wait for its development, I believe it's currently in beta. Their coordinator is currently online, but their IOS app is to be available maybe in a few more months.

Indeed. An anonymity set of 6 is ridiculously bad.
Even if no one is trying to break the privacy, it already is bad. And additionally the attacks are quite easy (e.g. majority inputs from the same user).

I'd definitely not recommend to rely on an anonymity set of 6.

Their website doesn't help though, since it doesn't give any info (social media, source code, etc.)
Found some additional information about this wallet on their GutHub:

Quote
A non-custodial iOS bitcoin wallet supporting Chaumian CoinJoin.

The main privacy features on the network level:

    Tor-only by default.
    BIP 158 block filters for private light client.

and on the blockchain level:

    Intuitive ZeroLink CoinJoin integration.
    Superb coin selection and labeling.
    Dust attack protections.

special thanks to Wasabi for making this possible

Quote
Chaincase is a Xamarin.Forms application built on top of the famed Wasabi Wallet privacy wallet.

It binds to Tor.framework for an anonymous connection to the outside world

This is experimental beta software. Your feedback is greatly appreciated

Source: https://github.com/chaincase-app/chaincase

So, it is essentially a Wasabi fork created for iOS users and allows for CoinJoin mixing between Wasabi users and Chaincase users if they both choose the same coordinator. I was wondering if it is possible for iOS app users to use zkSNACKs as default coordinator. It would be interesting to have an opportunity to mix coins with high anon sets on your iPhone. Crossplatform solutions for transaction obfuscation is what that is going to make bitcoin more fungible. If people of different operating systems and platforms unite and start doing mixing for every  transaction, it will make surveillance companies obsolete.

@Aaron2020
You broadcasted a transaction with a 400 sat/vByte transaction fee and it's still unconfirmed? I find that hard to believe because the current state of the mempool shows that transactions with 100-120 sat/vByte are likely to confirm in the next block. Let alone 400 sats. And I doubt it was any worse yesterday.

Has the transaction confirmed in the meantime and if not, care to share the transaction hash?

First, you should actually describe what exactly you did.

You did not choose a "400 miner fee".

So.. open your wallet and tell us what exactly you have chosen as your fee. Tell us whether it got broadcasted (is/was the backend connected?).

Hi

I have a transaction that has been stuck for a couple of weeks because of a low fee. The transaction doesn't have change so I can't use CPFP and since it was built using Wasabi it's not tagged as an RBF so I can't replace the fee and broadcast it using another wallet or service. I've read somewhere that a transaction that stays in a mempool for 3 days gets ejected but it looks like my transaction is broadcasted regularly. I've removed Transactions.dat from Wasabi's Data Folder to have the coins appear back in my wallet and tried double spending them with a higher fee, to myself and to the original address. I tried it with Wasabi, Electrum and broadcasting through blockchain.com, nothing works and I get either an error of double spending or conflict, which was somehow expected.

Any idea on how I can unstuck it?

Thanks

Wasabi does not flag RBF so you can't do that.
There are paid transaction accelerators out there and some free ones that might help.

How low a fee did you use? The fees have dropped below 10/sat b a few times over the last few weeks.

The default setting on the reference client is 2 weeks not 3 days (at least, it's 2 weeks in the version i'm running, which is not 0.21.0, but still i'm running a relatively recent version)...
So, if you stop rebroadcasting, most (but not all) nodes should have dropped your transaction after 2 weeks...

Other than that, DaveF already gave your other options: pay a big mining pool (don't entertain offers from newbies that promise to "mine" your transaction) or talk the receiver trough a CPFP.

I could ask for that, so this means they would need to spend the output from the unconfirmed transaction with a higher fee and send it to one of their addresses, right?

Yes I've seen some of those but they charge way too much. Do you have some that you could recommend?

How low a fee did you use? The fees have dropped below 10/sat b a few times over the last few weeks.

It was lower than that. At some point I hoped for it to get purged but it didn't, so it's not low enough for it to get purged but not high enough to get confirmed...

I'm not intentionally rebroadcasting but it seems to be happening, https://live.blockcypher.com displays a received field for transactions and for my transaction it's regularly updated.

I actually wrote a tutorial a while back on how to execute an cpfp as a sender using electrum. For a receiver, it's actually more or less the same... If you point them towards this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285192 they can ask for help in case they don't succeed (depends on which wallet they're using tough... It might require them to export private key(s) from their current wallet and import them into electrum if they want to follow the walktrough... In which case they need to be extra carefull not to compromise their keys)

Yes I've seen some of those but they charge way too much. Do you have some that you could recommend?
I've seen good things from viabtc... They have a free and a payed accelerator service, and they're legit... They own a pretty big pool, so they're able to deliver what they promise

It was lower than that. At some point I hoped for it to get purged but it didn't, so it's not low enough for it to get purged but not high enough to get confirmed...
Pruning happens if the limit of the mempool is over the limit set by the node operator OR if the unconfirmed transaction is older than x hours (default 2 weeks). So it should be pruned from most mempools in 2 weeks no matter what the feerate was

To be honest, i have no idear if wasabi automatically rebroadcasts transactions... Maybe you can restore your wasabi wallet from seed by creating a new wallet but re-using the same seed... Not reopening the original wallet untill the transaction has been dropped.
It's also possible you keep rebroadcasting the transaction by your efforts to fix the issue tough... For example: sometimes people start using those "free" rebroadcasting websites because they think it'll fix their problem, but all those sites do is fetch the raw transaction and rebroadcast it, making it harder to double spend or to require more time to wait untill the transaction dissapears from most mempools.

Yes I know about their free service but it requires a minimum fee which my transaction doesn't have. So I guess I'll have to use their paid service if I don't succeed in getting the receiver to perform a CPFP. Thanks.

Pruning happens if the limit of the mempool is over the limit set by the node operator OR if the unconfirmed transaction is older than x hours (default 2 weeks). So it should be pruned from most mempools in 2 weeks no matter what the feerate was

Provided it's not rebroadcasted...

To be honest, i have no idear if wasabi automatically rebroadcasts transactions... Maybe you can restore your wasabi wallet from seed by creating a new wallet but re-using the same seed... Not reopening the original wallet untill the transaction has been dropped.
It's also possible you keep rebroadcasting the transaction by your efforts to fix the issue tough... For example: sometimes people start using those "free" rebroadcasting websites because they think it'll fix their problem, but all those sites do is fetch the raw transaction and rebroadcast it, making it harder to double spend or to require more time to wait untill the transaction dissapears from most mempools.

Yes that's why I didn't use those "free" accelerators. The only transactions I intentionally broadcasted were my double spending attempts. However I haven't kept my wallet shut down for 2 weeks so either it might be rebroadcasting in the background or some other service which I have no control over is doing it...
