Wasabi Wallet - Total Privacy For Bitcoin

[Kruw]

That's insane. So it means not only do users have to update their Tor Browsers (which was never really a problem since the browser auto-updates itself), but every onionsite, relay and headless connector have to manually update to or compile a new Tor version. What was the reason for the mandatory upgrade? Surely, it must have been some vulnerability?

There was no vulnerability announced (yet), here is the thread where Tor contributors discussed the rollout plan: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/team/-/work_items/460

Not really. This is simply because Tor is in the final stage of its multi-year migration path from the C Tor codebase to new codebase^{called Arti}, which was clearly explained in their June ^23rd release. So Wasabi must follow this path in order not to lose connectivity to the network.

I saw this today on the Apple App Store. Somebody made a fake mobile version of Wasabi Wallet and put zkSNACKs as the developer to make it look legitimate. The app has reviews from months ago, which means it has been listed for a while already.

That is why I prefer to download any wallet by following the link from its official site or repository. This prevents me from fake wallet scams.

Not everyone is aware that Wasabi (with its CoinJoin feature) is desktop-only and runs exclusively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Scammers like to exploit any knowledge gap by creating fake mobile versions of any wallet, and your post evidences that Wasabi has had close encounters with them.

Yes, they also have an imposter "Wasabi Wallet Mobile" X/Twitter account that has more followers than the legitimate @wasabiwallet one.
