Wasabi Wallet - Total Privacy For Bitcoin

[jickiticky]

How much smaller can i go?

Im using your coordinator, default is 21, can i set it lower and connect? doesn't everyone else in the group also need to lower their setting in that case? if i select 5 and the others have 21 and we never reach 21, then no gets included in the coinjoin?

The minimum input count for my coordinator is 50, so that means anyone who has a min input value set between 5 and 50 can still join. If you change your settings to require a min input count of 51+, then your client won't join the round.

Why is that your service is down so often? According to Wabisator atleast?

My server has been DoS attacked for several weeks now, this is disrupting the detection of some of the trackers. Still working on fixing it.

Anything to say on this Kruw?

For some reason Kruw continues to claim zkSNACKs had shutdown last month but in reality it operates and continues to update Wasabi Wallet.

Kruw has labelled himself as a "Contributor to Wasabi Wallet" without explaining what that means. With him failing to even answer the question or address the point and not bother explaining what it means no matter how many times you ask, shows he is very keen to not comment on it. If that is the case, he clearly has something to hide.

How difficult can it be for him to explain what his relationship with zkSNACKs is and to explain what he means when he claims to be a "Contributor to Wasabi Wallet".

Not really, I found it amusing that you don't know what the word "contributor" means. You could have simply navigated to my Github profile for examples of my contributions: https://github.com/Kruwed

[JollyGood]

I know exactly what it means, it is however neither amusing nor even a disappointment that you have deliberately tried to appear far more close to zkSNACKs than you actually were. The way you have been posting in the forum has a pattern. I think you already know many will never forgive you for the personal attacks and insults you threw towards a member of the forum when it was uncalled for.

On a different note, it would be better as it would cause less misdirection if you removed the "Contributor to Wasabi Wallet" tag in the BTC Prague promotions as the "observer of Austrian economics, game theory and Bitcoin privacy" does suffice.

It does make you wonder exactly what his frame of mind is when he behaves in such ridiculous manner. He can make it clear that he is or is not a paid employee of Wasabi Wallet creator zkSNACKs but is actively avoiding it. If he makes it clear he is not an employee of zkSNACKs it might result in him being kicked out of the BTC Prague event since anybody can contribute to anything therefore his "Contributor to Wasabi Wallet" claim will mean nothing.

He is totally deluded to not only claim zkSNACKs shut down last month but only to repeat the claim after I pointed out to him that was not the case. Not only that, when he makes pointless walls of text in an effort to deflect he only brings himself down further.

Either the Wasabi Team has absolutely no knowledge of good Marketing or Kruw is part of them.  If I was the Wasabi Team and a random guy came out absolutely destroying the last remaining pieces of the reputation of my Product AND Team while most of my Customers think he is possibly part of my Team, I would officially announce my Team has no relationship whatsoever with Kruw.  Even if Kruw was a Contributor.

On a side note, I find it fascinating how Kruw still has not answered your question at all.

You have it backwards: When I exposed you as a scammer, that destroyed your reputation, not my reputation:

You never provided evidence I am a Scammer.  Where is the evidence?

Here's a direct quote of you luring someone away from keeping custody of their coins and keeping their data safe with Wasabi and luring them into depositing their coins into the Chipmixer scam:

Is chipmixer on LN?

No (last time I checked at least, it was not).  It is just a website offering you Mixing services.  If you want further privacy, use it through Tor with no JavaScript.  Links to the website can be found on this thread under LoyceV's posts.

You need a lot of coin management education in order to keep your privacy levels up once you mix your coins.  Particularly since your coins have a very clear, evident trace linked to your real identity.  Once you break this link, creating alternative links will be easy.  One mistake and your identity is linked back to the mixed coins.  Does anyone here have some sort of documentation on that?  Wasabi used to have a great privacy educational doc, but I can not recommend them anymore due to obvious reasons.

But that's his decision, and although he might be hiding something, he truly doesn't owe us anything if he wants his identity hidden. We merely need to accept that he's simply a "contributor" for zkSNACKS. But if anyone wants to meet him in person, you can introduce yourself and ask him his name and what his actual work is in zkSNACKS, you can do that in Prague.

It is inevitable his identity will not be hidden if he ends up in the BTC Prague event therefore I see no logic why that would be a factor to consider but the pertinent issue is more to do with the fact he his identity or any other details will remain as anonymous as before if he were to claim to be an employee of zkSNACKS. Furthermore, the same can be said if he were to go on to state he was not (and never was) an employee of zkSNACKS.

Because perhaps he's truly just a contributor?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe that one of us may or may not be in the conference, and may or may not approach Kruw to find out if he is "C.I.A" or not. The person approaching Kruw should never reveal that he/she has posted in this topic though.

At some stage I was expecting zkSNACKs to make a statement about Kruw in an attempt to distance themselves from him because of his antics within the forum. His actions definitely brought the Wasabi Wallet name in to disrepute and it had a negative impact on their business. Keeping the issue with Wasabi Wallet using blockchain analysis aside, Kruw helped to help make members dislike Wasabi Wallet when he posted a series of utterly unacceptable posts because there seemed to be no distinction between him and Wasabi Wallet as a result of him subliminally exaggerating the extent of their relationship.

On a side note, I find it fascinating how Kruw still has not answered your question at all.

It gives a window in to his mindset because clearly he is not willing to settle the matter. He has opted to twist the words without even giving a clear and concise answer therefore one can only speculate as to why he would do that.

Because perhaps he's truly just a contributor?

That seems to be the most plausible scenario.

You expected the exact opposite of reality:

Kruw is a highly knowledgeable ex-zkSNACKs' employee I had the opportunity to work together with. Kudos for him for having the balls of running a coordinator for free. He takes 100% risk and gets none of the reward. It's disappointing to see these disgusting character assassinations against him. Kruw is a hero.

[Wind_FURY]

Where is the deep hate for Wasabi and Kruw coming from? Is it because zkSNACKS' coordinator admins accepted the trade-off of filtering the outputs that go through the coordinator?

I believe we plebs are being immature if that's what you truly think is the problem. It's a mere coordinator. The BitcoinTalk community could run one too without filters.

The deep hatred for Wasabi is due to envy. The enemies of Bitcoin who promote of "mixing site" scams have so much blood on their hands they will never admit that you can use Bitcoin privately and non custodially. They would rather backstab satoshi and attack the fundamental property that makes Bitcoin powerful, which is self custody:

Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.

The deep hatred for me is due to the fact I accomplished the feat that these scammers laughed about doing themselves:

people should be grateful for the tools that zkSNACKs has built and take advantage of the situation by capturing the market. Instead of all the whining we’re hearing.

Honestly laughed out loud at this. How childish.

I've coordinated over 600 BTC in coinjoins in the past 24 hours. o_e_l_e_o could have done the exact same thing, and there would be nothing zkSNACKs could do to stop him, but instead, he "laughed out loud" and called the idea "childish".

The critics mocked zkSNACKs for following regulations, but not a single one of those critics ever dared to solve the "problem" by providing unregulated coinjoins themselves. Instead, these scammers like o_e_l_e_o and BlackHatCoiner exposed themselves as complete hypocrites who care nothing about "blacklisting" or "censorship" since they promoted Mixtum, a CUSTODIAL service that runs a "thorough background check" on their users to enforce their broad threats of confiscation:

3. Quality scoring of incoming transactions
We run a thorough background check of incoming funds through a proprietary algorithm.

2.1. Privacy Policy

    modification, change, distortion or any other interference in work of the Mixtum service;

No property rights or ownership rights related to the Service are not granted to you according to these Terms. Mixtum reserves all rights that have not been expressly granted.

Wasabi is simply so good that it shows how these scammers are very obviously evil. That's why they devote their entire lives to destroy it with their shitposting.

[JollyGood]

You cite an indirect source that claims you were an ex-employee of zkSNACKs and that is to be taken as a reliable source without you commenting yourself whether you were or were not their employee.

Who in their right mind would bother going to any venue where you were one of the delegates to listen to you spouting nonsense, especially if it were in a crypto event? Well, apart from the one that called you a hero

You 'destroyed' my Reputation so bad I have a better Trust rating than you do.  Put these two side by side and it really shows who the Scammer, Deceiver and Liar really is.

If you really think I am a Scammer, mind you create a proper Thread in the 'Scam Accusations' (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) Board or in the 'Reputation' (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=129.0) Board?  You have a bunch of names you keep calling out for being Scammers and considering you are such a superhero I guess it is time to finally finish us all off?

I have nothing to envy you about.  Chill down your Ego a little bit, you are not as superior or supreme as you think of yourself.

You must be a really big piece of shit to put 'Scammer' over the name and Reputation of a person who is not among us any more and can not defend themselves against your silly and exaggerated claims, namely Leo who was among the top fighters if not the top fighter of Privacy that we had on Bitcoin Talk.

And you know he fought for Privacy, and you know he was afraid and worried of what was to come for all of us in the future, and you know he fought for the best, and you know he always had some of the best arguments most of the respondents could not even give a proper reply to.  You know it all very well, yet you decide to be a subhuman and shit on his Reputation.  And shitting on mine is a thing, since I can still defend myself, but knowingly doing this to somebody who can not puts you really low on the list of respectable people.

I am no expert on the mindset of forum members but I have been around here long enough to know what narcissistic tendencies look like when I see them. In my opinion, for quite some time one of the biggest narcissists has to be Kruw.

Clearly he is deluded because he wants others to idolise him and praise him as though he is some super-contributor to crypto. The reality is different because nobody appreciates anything he has contributed to Github and nobody envies Kruw (except his sidekick nopara73). Kruw resorts to gutter-level politics when he cannot win a debate and that is the only thing people will remember him for before he fades from memory over time.

We don't need to add more drama. The point was why people keep attacking Wasabi Wallet when zkSNACKS started filtering transactions for their coordinator?

The point is since o_e_l_e_o and BlackHatCoiner promoted Mixtum, they proved they never had any problems whatsoever with "blockchain analysis" or "blacklisting". The entire outrage over zkSNACKs' customer policy was always completely fake, it was simply an excuse for these scammers to promote their custodial "mixing sites".

?

Mixtum hired the services of a blockchain analytics company?

OK, I believe it's not that they didn't care, but it's that because they didn't know. Plus promoting mixing services have already been banned in the forum. There's no more reasons for them to keep attacking you if they're not passionate about censorship. BUT I also think their passions are incorrectly positioned. Coordinators are a centralized services, if one of them wants to filter outputs, it's within their boundaries.

Mixtum hired the services of a blockchain analytics company?

No, Mixtum itself is a blockchain analytics company with a propriety algorithm. It says so on their front page:

OK, I believe it's not that they didn't care, but it's that because they didn't know.

No, both o_e_l_e_o and BlackHatCoiner were aware that they partnered with a chain analysis company: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465398.msg62802323#msg62802323
