Anyone could be the enemy. The coinjoin service which is pro-government, pro-censorship, and pro-surveillance is the enemy.

You mean like Wasabi working with blockchain analysis companies? I would consider both of those enemies of bitcoin.

Ledger devices are closed source, so you cannot verify how they are generating entropy and producing a seed phrase for you. With that in mind, it all comes down to how much you trust Ledger. No one can say for sure that what you are proposing will be entirely safe.

Your process is definitely better than using a hot wallet, but I would argue inferior to using an airgapped machine with Tails as you have mentioned, verifiably drawing entropy from /dev/urandom. If you don't want to generate an Electrum seed phrase, then I see no reason you can't use the same set up with Sparrow wallet to generate a BIP39 seed phrase (although I haven't tried this myself).

The string OP has shared is a transaction hash or TXID, which is an identifier for the transaction, not the transaction itself. You cannot broadcast that - you need the raw transaction in order to broadcast it.

Just lol.

You've had the same things explained to you dozens of times by multiple users over many months. Your continued lies and denial of facts is simply evidence of your malicious intent to drive bitcoin to a government controlled system.

Wasabi is the enemy.

You only need to reveal one address when it used on both sides of the transaction.

I still haven't figured out what you think you are achieving by constantly appealing to authority.

Argue semantics and evade the questions all you want. It's quite clear no one here is attacking open source software nor privacy software. They are attacking Wasabi, which is categorically not privacy software.

Oh, so Monero isn't a shitcoin anymore? I just can't keep up with your goalposts.

How strong is this password?

Doesn't matter. Nothing is ever really deleted from the cloud. There will be an unknown number of back ups of your data still stored on various servers around the world.

You definitely need to create a new cold wallet and transfer your funds to it. If your password is weak, then you need to this immediately.

I am also curious how you accidentally exported and uploaded the private key from what you are calling a cold wallet. A cold wallet should be on an airgapped computer without an internet connection. To accidentally upload it you would have had to export it on your airgapped computer, copy it to a USB, transfer it to a live computer, and then upload it, all without realizing it was the wallet file and not the xpub. It sounds like you are using a hot wallet, not a cold wallet.

So, just to clarify:

A user creates a small change output using Samourai. Samourai clearly displays this change output before the transaction is signed, and gives the user ample opportunity to change it if they want. The user is happy with the size of the change output and goes ahead with the transaction. This change output is deliberately segregated in to a different account and so no privacy is lost. According to Kruw, this is a critical flaw in Samourai: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471645.msg63134894#msg63134894

A user reuses an address on both sides of a Wasabi coinjoin. Outputs from the coinjoin land on the exact same address as the inputs they came from, resulting in a complete and critical loss of privacy. According to Kruw, this is all the users fault and has nothing to do with Wasabi.

Lol. The double standards are off the charts.

According to Kruw:
Samourai - doesn't work
Sparrow - doesn't work
Whirlpool - doesn't work
JoinMarket - doesn't work
Jam - doesn't work
Monero - doesn't work
Atomic swaps - don't work
P2P swaps/trades - don't work
Mixers - don't work

Wasabi - perfect, infallible

Isn't it amazing how thousands of developers of dozens of different privacy projects are all so incredibly wrong, and only the pro-surveillance, pro-censorship, pro-government sell outs are the ones who got it right.



By directly funding blockchain analysis, by directly supporting and spreading the concept of tainted coins, by attacking bitcoin's fungibility, and by censoring users, Wasabi are aiding and abetting the government take over of bitcoin. This kind of malicious behavior is now spreading to mining pools, which are using the exact same logic and methods as Wasabi to censor transactions from their blocks entirely. Soon enough, only government approved transactions will be allowed to me mined at all. We are marching down the road to bitcoin becoming a government permissioned network, and Wasabi are leading the charge.

Wasabi are enemies of bitcoin.

For this reason, bitcoin.org should completely scrub all traces of Wasabi from the site.

Nothing that matters. They are still cooperating with blockchain analysis.

Revenue is not the same as profits nor reserves.

They claim to have 100% reserves for all their customer deposits. I have previously cast doubt on that number, but even assuming that this number is true, that money belongs to their customers and Binance should not be using it to pay off their fines. How much they have in their own reserves is anyone's guess. And remember when CZ evaded the question about whether Binance could cover a $2.1 billion fine? https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/15/binance-ceo-changpeng-cz-zhao-brushes-off-2-billion-ftx-clawback-concerns-fraud.html. This fine is more than double that.

Still, nothing stopping them printing a few million of some made up token and dumping it on their users to cover their insolvency, eh?

No problem at all, happy to help!

Transaction confirmed: https://mempool.space/tx/f1fb37a002351c731443dbb89c1b18885496816a9cac47ead9fcd9ed6ee08676

Can you please confirm the following address is correct, and definitely for receiving bitcoin:

1J7sNfSwSa4d4Fc5sd9Fgc5SVUizYH3hbV

Can you also confirm you are happy for me to pay an appropriate fee at the time of broadcast? At the moment, this will be around 14,000 sats ($5), which will give your transaction a fee rate of 41 sats/vbyte. This may change over the coming hours and days, but if it goes significantly higher I'm happy to wait until average fees come back down again.

Anyone with even a basic comprehension of the English language can clearly understand the context of those two statements - one is talking about bitcoin at a technical level (where there is no such thing as individual sats) while the other is talking about blockchain analysis heuristics. As I've pointed out before, your continual deliberate misrepresentations mean you are either deliberately lying to fuel your narrative, or you literally don't understand the first thing about what you are writing.

Good job diverting the topic away from the questions you repeatedly refuse to answer again though.

I appreciate the sentiments, but don't worry about it - I'm not going to lose a second of sleep over what a pro-censorship, pro-surveillance, anti-privacy Wasabi shill thinks of me.

I don't want a debate. I don't want it to be up for argument, and whichever side shouts loudest wins. I want a permissionless, uncensorable, network.

Hoping is insufficient. Governments around the world will continue to push ahead with more and more invasive control if we don't stop them. I've said for a long time we need more on-chain privacy as a default, but no one cares about privacy anymore. They only care about making more fiat profit. And so bitcoin is headed for government control, and the masses will be happy because they made a few bucks along the way.

I was just saying this in another thread. The influx of people who just want to use bitcoin to make fiat profit, instead of wanting to use bitcoin as freedom money, is driving us down the route towards bitcoin becoming a government permissioned network. The current monero community is similar to the bitcoin community of 10 years ago. The bitcoin community of today is all about "when moon".

Most scam centralized exchanges delisted monero years ago, and no one who actually uses monero for its anonymity is buying it on a centralized exchange anyway. Monero has been thriving on DEXs and P2P trades for years, and will continue to do so.

He just can't resist proving this point over and over again.

I've checked OP's address, and the equivalent BCash address contains around $5 worth of BCash. I've not bothered to check any other forks.

Langostas - I will PM you with my ProtonMail address, which you can use to send me your keys and password if you are happy to accept the risk of doing so. You can also send some of the information via ProtonMail and some of the information via forum PM to keep it separate, if you prefer. I'll take a look at them when I get chance over the weekend and confirm your receiving address before I send you your coins.

Kruw ignores every question which he can't answer with a meaningless soundbite.

Still, remember that Kruw thinks Monero is a shitcoin, so clearly doesn't understand the first thing about Monero or indeed privacy in general:

Correct. It gives it a negative connotation. Self custody changed to non-custodial changed to non-hosted. The next step will be "non-compliant" wallets, or something similar.

Centralized exchanges already do this, and most (if not all) are already running fraction reserve scams and simply issuing IOUs they cannot honor. This is indeed their ultimate goal. Once centralized exchanges hold all the bitcoin and people only trade IOUs back and forth, then they will have achieved complete centralization, complete surveillance, and complete control.
