My review of Wasabi Wallet v2:

UserInterface:

So I downloaded the wasabi wallet for Windows last June 19 and the design is simple but very relaxing in the eye. This maybe because the UI don't have bright colors or simply because I have the Dark Mode, activated.
Dark and Light mode on top of the smooth orientation.

If I would rate its User Interface, I will give it a 9/10 .

User Experience:

Being a noob, I like that the process of creating a wallet is simple. Just create a password, write they passphrase in a sheet of paper, thats it. Just click receive bitcoin, and you label who is it from. I like that it made me aware that it is a good practice to never reuse an address that has already received btc.
I even learned more from their solid Documentation:

https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/

I like that it has a Intro within the docs entitled
"Explain Wasabi Like I'm 5"  
As it is very easy to understand.

It even have an automatic feature where it hides addresses which already received bitcoin.
This kind of information would help my fellow Filipino who like myself is not very adept, or technical and still uses a non-custodial wallet for most of our transactions.

Regarding CoinJoin...

I have read somewhere before about Wasabi wallet, it was a post from the Beginners & Help section which even used the word "Chaumian" Coinjoin.
So what does Chaumian mean?
According to the web search I just did, "Chaumian" named after the father of online anonymity, David Lee Chaum, is the process or technique to carryout a transaction without revealing the parties involved etc.,
From what I understood since Wasabi wallet implements this Coinjoin feature, it would blur our bitcoin history thus making it harder for other people to track your transactions and your stash.
I even learned that Coinjoin was already being utilized by some since the early days,

This thread by gmaxwell:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279249.msg2983902  -- coinjoin since 2013


However, more reading made me aware that Wasabi V2 is now implementing a new protocol, WabiSabi, which uses a "coordinator".

Also I like the multiple CoinJoin profiles because you have control to the level of privacy/anonymity you wish to achieve for your coins and the amount you pay for it.
I have not tried it but it looks simple enough on the documentation.


Edit: 07/06/2022

Receiving:

I confirm I was able to receive funds to my Wasabi Wallet.

Sending:

I made 2 send transactions. I tried both the automatic fee and the one where you can set the fee sats/vByte.
There is a minor display error in which I have forwarded the details to our manager (icopress).

I saw that it did have a notification when you receive a payment and when it is confirmed.

https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/using-wasabi/10Commandments.html#_6-never-merge-mixed-and-unmixed-coins-and-avoid-large-merges-of-mixed-coins



Topics I am unsure about:

-Upon launching my wallet, it shows data is being downloaded,
I don't know which bitcoin network data it is downloading but with the time estimate to finish the download, i would guess its very large.




Suggestions:

-Details on what sort of data is being downloaded when a download is required.

-A good addition would be a notification feature, if you are to receive a payment or have received a payment with confirmation etc.

My Review

1.

This is not 1st time I am using a wasabi wallet, I installed it since v.1 so, for me, this looks not much different from the old version, but the GUI has something different from the older one, today I got an update 2.0.1, I don't check the detail but it's not much different from the last. So far so good. but, still downloading data in beginning will be making other people restless, especially when must send bitcoin immediately.

2.

And, I still have something bothering me about the password from v.1 until v.2.0, when the first time opens the wallet, we will be treated on the 1st page. I just want to make sure there is actually not a password but a passphrase exactly. Wasabi uses the BIP39 word, so when if something happens and you aren't installed wasabi back to your PC, you can recover it using the another BIP39 wallet, such as electrum, trust wallet and etc. So if using a password, don't forget to add it to the passphrase box, because it's very related, If don't, you will get a different address.

It is better to not make people confused by creating a note or something attention on the front like : this is not a password but a passphrase at the beginning.

3.

Bech32 address is set by default, it's good for reducing fees. but how if there are still people happy using legacy (1) and nested (3)?, maybe they aren't interesting to install it, except wasabi has a button to change the address like another wallet. 

-Upon launching my wallet, it shows data is being downloaded,
I don't know which bitcoin network data it is downloading but with the time estimate to finish the download, i would guess its very large.

It's not bitcoin or blockchain data but it's your wallet data, so they are checking all transactions from your wallet since the beginning. it's depending on how size your wallet, the more transactions you have, the more time to check.

WasabiWallet version 2.0.1 review.

Thanks maintainers for the full download options, according to the devices most people use to run the program, especially bitcoin wallets.

* I used Windows 10 to test this Wasabi wallet, and after I successfully installed it, my prediction was correct that the operating system is light enough and fast enough to get to the point of destination that there is no need to extract it again. And the first impression is presented with a very simple appearance. but still elegant and comfortable to look at. really very different from the previous version.


*For terms, the appearance is very simple and uses a good layout so that it does not provide an agree column to be checked or other options (there is only a continue button below).
also if you click on the close board, everything will close (this makes some people comfortable) meaning you only need an effective navigation bar like wasabiwallet offers.and the people who installed this wallet understand the functionality and speed.

*my first step is to make a new wallet, at first glance this makes me think and there is a unique phrase that is asked at random and only a few (not all 12 words are asked) I think this is new and can add security (features).


* I quickly created a wallet too I imported a phrase from blockchain.com and asked for a reset password, I am very comfortable of course with the good security provided.

*The features above are very easy and useful shortcuts, considering the old version there is no search feature for development and activities quickly and effectively enough for a performance (transaction).

*Includes a private key that asks for a password for double protection if you want to see it. Indeed this sensitive area was created vaguely in a corner by the developer but I really like it

* I only saw the original segwit type Bech32, haven't found the old network (p2pkh) or p2sh, or any other network (maybe in the future for a plan). I also realized that for the development of the wasabi wallet it was very good from the previous version and from the wallet other non-custodial bitcoins.

*for recorded and open transaction and activity records in notepad (that's what I use) I think this is good, lighter and more detailed.

notes
- I agree that this wasabi wallet is without advertisements or other news stories.

-maybe in the future the logo can be filled in the menu for shortcuts (possibility of adding new feature items)

-If the theme/background color can be adjusted, it can add value and character to the softwhare (wasabi). Indeed, the main function of the wallet is to focus on transactions and there is nothing wrong with open software. With a display that is set according to taste (I think that's something that has not been implemented by all wallets. This will increase the interest of the millennial generation or all groups).

this wasabi wallet is a good step for a bitcoin development. the more wallets come support, the more options for new users or experts in bitcoin storage and trust will continue to grow.
currently bitcoin can be counted as new as an instrument the category is quite favorite and popular. and in the future it will be more than phenomenal from today.

Mate, are you sure you are doing the right thing?
I just downloaded the latest WasabiWallet, and it is version 2.0.1. looking at your screenshots (significantly different from what I have on my computer), you used something else or even some of the previous version. I would say you are using the 1.1.13 version if my eyes serve me well.

I'm using in the column for window10+ on page 1 of the thread, guys. I've checked on other pages and there is no update. Of course I did that and made a watermark as proof I did it and ran. If possible, please upload a screenshot of your friends (during the download process) maybe I will fix it if there are download errors or unresolved instructions.
so that I have an idea of ​​the errors you think need to be fixed, pal.
picture 1 is the wasabi wallet download process.
I show the details and speed of downloading this wallet on my desktop.
do you have windows or device (laptop) with the same specs as mine? my device has low spots and I'm not having any sync issues. If the website I'm accessing is wrong, please enlighten me, friend?
I used the link in the thread to demonstrate and complete the mission. This is my first time accessing and trying this wallet and without knowing that there is already a previous version as you mentioned earlier, please provide the latest wallet info for revision, bro?
I am very interested in this wasabiwallet

try to download it from the official website of Wasabiwallet: https://www.wasabiwallet.io/index.html#download

@icopress it seems that the links in the first post really lead to the old version (1.1.13) of the wallet. it should probably be corrected to avoid confusion

[dkbit98]

I'm not rushing you guys, but I expect to see your review within three weeks. Payments will be sent to everyone at the same time after the last review is published (maybe I will remind once or twice to those who will drag the rubber).

I plan to do my review this week, BUT I would like to say that everyone should download latest version 2.0.1 of Wasabi wallet before starting any testing.
They fixed a bug related with recent Tor ddos attacks, and Wasabi would be almost unusable without Antifragility pack that was released yesterday.
Don't use any Wasabi version older than 2.0.1
https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/releases

[dansus021]

I'm using wasabi windows version 2.0 and all what i am saying is based on my perspective

*first of all this is my first time using wasabi wallet, to be honest, the wallet itself is straight to the point the User interface was soooo good and simple
*This wallet is great for people who like privacy (this is really needed) and a simple wallet for people who only need send and receive bitcoin this one can be using as cold wallet too
*fiture like built in mixer discreet mode and network anonymization (tor) is very good, super dope


1. wasabi need add more language to their platfrom, i know the wallet itself using basic language and doesnt have reading content but still would be great if there any language to get more audience
especially with the documentation this one need more than one language (*psst i am available to translate to indonesia )
2. wasabi should add control to font so the user can make the font bigger or smaller display unit to other fiat currency would be great too
3. not gonna lie but the mobile phone age is running at the top speed so i think wasabi should have android/apple version wallet


thats its overall is good, keep it up and cant wait for other version of wasabi that support evm compatibble

   MY REVIEW:

 WALLET FEATURES:

AT FIRST I WENT TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE AND DOWNLOADED THE WALLET FILE FOR WINDOWS 10+ VERSION WASABI-2.0.1
THERE ARE SEVERAL VERSIONS AVAILABLE FOR WINDOWS, APPLE AND LINUX DESKTOP USERS
FIRST OF ALL, IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE WALLET IS COMPLETELY OPEN SOURCE WHERE ANYONE CAN SEE THE CODE AND VERIFY IT OR CONTRIBUTE TO IT AS WELL, AND THIS IS A VERY GOOD, IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL POINT WHEN CHOOSING ANY BITCOIN WALLET.
THE WALLET IS ALSO CHARACTERIZED BY MAINTAINING THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF PRIVACY FOR USERS THROUGH THE COINJOINS STRATEGY, BLOCK FILTERING BY THE CLIENT, AND USING THE TOR ANONYMOUS NETWORK, AND THIS IS A VERY GOOD POINT AS WELL.

- NON-CUSTODIAL
WASABI DOES NOT STORE ANY PRIVATE KEYS, WHICH MEANS THAT YOUR ENCRYPTED ASSETS ARE YOURS ALONE AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY SAFE AND YOU CAN IMPORT THEM FROM ANY OTHER WALLET AND THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT POINT AS WELL.
THE ABILITY TO CONNECT THE WALLET TO HARDWARE WALLETS SUCH AS LEDGER AND TREZOR IS VERY EASY AND SIMPLE

Installing and running the wallet:
After downloading the file and installing the wallet on the laptop, I opened the wallet and it can be said:
The wallet design is simple and convenient to operate with complete ease with elegance in design.
You can easily create a new wallet by pressing the "Create wallet" button.
Then you choose a new name for the wallet, then you have to choose a strong password, after that, a phrase appears that you have to write and store it in a safe place
Then a test is run to make sure that you have saved the SEED phrase in a safe place
  Then the Coinjoin strategy selection screen appears:
The wallet gives you options for Coinjoin strategy
1- Minimize costs, where you will get the lowest fees.
2- Maximum speed: You will get the highest transaction speed.
3- Maximum privacy protection

     

Choose the strategy that suits you and then you can enter the new wallet
You can change this strategy later if you like from the settings
When finished, the wallet is ready to use, where you put the password and access the wallet:
At the top there is a search bar if you want anything related to the wallet like settings, information about using the wallet or anything else it gives you results on the Wasabi Docs website.
On the left side of the wallet there is a settings button, a button to add a wallet, and a "Desecret Mode" button to maintain your privacy by hiding the balance that appears on the screen.
On the top right there is a button to receive bitcoins where you can easily create a bitcoin address by clicking on it and choosing a specific name or using an address that has already been created.

Notes:
 I tried the wallet several times to make sure of a few things and got the following results:
1- I restored an old wallet that I created using the Electrium wallet via the seed phrase, but the wallet did not recognize
    the keywords and it gave me an error message even though the words are correct because I copied it from the
    Electrium wallet and pasted it here, then I checked it again but it gave me an error message that “Recovery  words
    are not  valid" as you can see in the picture:

             

   (Of course I erased the words so that they do not appear in the picture)
2 - I tried several times, but it didn't work, so I stored the Electrium wallet as a JSON file and tried to import it through
     the file, but it gave the same error:

             


     I don't know what the problem is, maybe the encryption of the wallet that I imported from Electrium is rather old

3 - To make sure, I restored another wallet I created using an Electrium wallet (newer than the first one) also via the
     seed phrase and the import was successful. that's it:

           

4 - After that, I thought of creating a new empty wallet. An unexpected error occurred and the wallet program stopped
     working and gave the following error:
     An object implementing IHandleObservableErrors (often a ReactiveCommand or ObservableAsPropertyHelper) has
     errored, thereby breaking its observable pipeline. To prevent this, ensure the pipeline does not error, or Subscribe to
     the ThrownExceptions property of the object in question to handle the erroneous case.

I don't know what exactly happened, but I did a restart of the wallet and the program came back to work, to make sure I created a new wallet and it was created successfully without problems and everything is back as it was.

Suggestions:
First: check the problems mentioned above
Second: Add two-factor authentication to give more protection to the wallet
Third: Add more languages
Fourth: Adding the Bitcoin Lightning Network
