Wasabi Wallet - Total Privacy For Bitcoin

[Kruw]

So from my understanding how it works is wasabi clients post UTXO's they want to coinjoin to the coordinator through tor. Then once the coordinator has a large enough set of UTXO's it will then request output addresses and amounts from each client. After that the cooridnator puts together the transaction and requests each client to sign their corresponding transaction.

This is 95% correct. The only difference is that the output registration isn't triggered immediately once a enough UTXOs join, it's triggered at the end of a fixed time period. If there's not enough UTXOs ready at the end of this time period, then the timer restarts.

Im sure Im missing something but my concern is with tor. Does tor use the same exit node when sending the input UTXO's and output addresses to the coordinator? If so wouldn't that mean the coordinator can deduce that the input UTXO's and output address coming from a specific exit node belong to the same wallet?

Very perceptive question. You are correct that if the same Tor IP address were used to register multiple Bitcoin addresses in the coinjoin transaction then the coordinator could easily link them together. This is why Wasabi uses a separate Tor IP for each input registered and each output registered. So a single client with 10 inputs and 10 outputs in a coinjoin transaction would post these to the coordinator using 20 different IP addresses.

Hello,
I'm a new user of wasabi.
I usually run manjaro but at the moment I only have windows. I've installed wasabi and I'd like to try the coinjoin function.
I also have a raspiblitz node but it's not running at the moment. Is it safe to use it under windows or would you advise me to wait and do it under linux?
I've configured the coordinator with https://kruw.io
is it correct and functional?

In the end the decision is yours but in the opinion of many in the forum including myself, you should avoid anything related to Kruw. You would be better off using an alternative co-ordinator instead because his activity and conduct in the forum has alienated himself from most others that post in similar topics.

Currently OpenCoordinator has 0% + free remixing and another important function their website states: no country blocklists, no UTXO blocklists.

At the very least you should take a look at other options and keep your options open: https://wabisator.com/

I use Linux when coinjoining because I know Windows/Mac have bad privacy. Also, at this moment there's a global notice on Bitcointalk warning about a critical Windows security bug: https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2024-38063

This is the list of operating systems that Wasabi supports: https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/blob/master/WalletWasabi.Documentation/WasabiCompatibility.md

Wasabi is also available in the Start9 app store: https://marketplace.start9.com/wasabi-webtop?api=community-registry.start9.com&name=Community%20Registry

Your coordinator box in the client should be configured to https://coinjoin.kruw.io/

What "activity and conduct"? You claimed before I "embarrassed myself" but never provided any embarrassing quote:

zkSNACKs did not, was not and is not shut down yet when you describe yourself as a "Contributor to Wasabi Wallet" but you are not willing to explain what that means. You already embarrassed yourself with your gutter-level conduct over recent months and now you are embarrassing yourself even further by avoiding to answer.

How did I "embarrass myself"?

Then you claimed I had previously made "gutter level statements" but never provided any of these statements:

I am not taken aback nor surprised by what you posted because as far as I (and other are concerned) there is nothing you could possibly say that would be considered shocking or even more gutter level than your previous statements.

if the anon set is low on that coordinator and blacklisted UTXO's are allowed into the coinjoin could that potentially flag my non-blacklisted coins as blacklisted?
