Also note there'll be a power outage here in 15 minutes, so I probably won't see the results of it for a while.

I don't understand why I can't run Wasabi wallet via Turkey's internet connection. Is there anyone who has the similar problem here?

Additional information: I have to select obsf4 bridge to run Tor Browser because Tor is censored in my country.

Max Hillebrand posted a call to participate in the Merchandise Design Contribution Game #76 on telegram some hours ago:

Telegram:

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

Github:

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!

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, Reddit, Telegram 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/)

Who is @mHaGqnOACyFm0h5, also called "nothingmuch" in Twitter? Is he a known Bitcoin developer?

Plus, can anyone ELI5 the quote in bold for the stupid like me.

https://twitter.com/nopara73/status/1243829599575986176

I think it is time to hint that a massive contribution to Bitcoin privacy is upcoming thanks to @mHaGqnOACyFm0h5.

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.

mmm, ELI5ing that is not too easy ...
but you could maybe try to read this documentation on Github and then maybe come back here to ask some more specific questions?

OK, but will that improvement hide the fact, or the "actuality" that the user has CoinJoined his/her coins in Wasabi?

[nopara73]

> OK, but will that improvement hide the fact, or the "actuality" that the user has CoinJoined his/her coins in Wasabi?

No, it won't.

No, it won't.

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.

[nopara73]

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

Why does my gut feeling tells me the minimum amount to participate in coinjoins only seems to go up?

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.

[nopara73]

There was only a brief period when the software started operating, maybe a month in 2018 when it was 0.01.

[Chikito]

I am a beginner/First time using Wasabi Wallet, I am not sure what wrong here. Last 1-2 Hours, still connecting..



Can i use coin join using tBtc?, I see 0 Btc required. When I am ready to use it?.

[Chikito]

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.

I see many time Error like that's on logs.

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.

You are the man.
True, look like my clock isn't corrected. after fixed it, I got connection and registered coin join at the moment.

my tBtc was mixed. I tried to sending tBtc.



and got payment was sent
