Wasabi Wallet - Total Privacy For Bitcoin

[ABCbits]

Tracking issue for removing COLDCARD support from Wasabi: https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/issues/14893

Any community feedback on this topic?

Just set coldcard support into maintenance mode, without new feature, format or support to other hardware wallet types. If nobody wants to maintain it, set it to deprecate at least for few months.

Apple has still not removed the fake Wasabi Wallet from their app store and now a Coldcard user trying to rescue their funds lost 6 BTC because of it.

I guess some people still have false perception App Store is strict enough to prevent most/all fake apps. Anyway, i just checked the fake app page and the problem is deeper. The scammer impersonate zkSNACKs company (that supposed to be already closed itself) and also have create fake X account.

I can not understand how someone would think it is a good idea to move compromised Bitcoin from a hardware wallet to a mobile wallet first of all.  And use the mobile keyboard to insert the Seed.  And download the software with out checking its legitimacy first.

You would think this is an obvious 'DO NOT DO THIS' for someone who kept over 5 Bitcoin in a Coldcard.

Apparently some of the stolen coins landed in Kruw's coordinator, and ZackXBT is certainly really angry about it:  https://x.com/i/status/2084949932289765633

Now I respect ZackXBT (234 thousand of you read my post on X saying that I like nvk as a person, so you know my respect is for everyone), but I always found his stance on Bitcoin privacy strange. I guess eXch was right about him when they made this post, even though I still think to this day they are passive aggressive.

Now if only we could have people who made more noise when people's coins are stolen, whether by exchanges, casinos, hackers, or scammers, but it seems that most people only care about the last two, and only when the number of victims is in the hundreds and they post about it on X.

People are going to use the Coldcard hack to try to destroy Bitcoin privacy worldwide, which would be a really tragic goal if it's accomplished, because the whole point of Coldcard was to increase your wallet privacy.

(For my part, I have also made a post in support of Kruw)

If I recall correctly, you don't even charge a coordinator fee since forever (besides toxic dust up per participant for the whole coinjoin session). So you don't even profit from this

Coordinators don’t ever have control of the BTC that is coinjoined. Preventing somebody from using a coordinator does absolutely nothing for victims. It is not like Tether where they can freeze stolen funds and make victims whole by minting new coins at will. ZachXBT might be well intentioned when he criticizes Wasabi coordinators and THORchain, but I still think it is misguided. Zach has even recognized that Wasabi is used for legitimate privacy reasons, so he is being kind of disingenuous by now only talking about it in negative terms.

He seems bitter about not being able to use this for his own enrichment. That money from Binance and BNB Chain really changed him.
