[ANN] GingerWallet.IO - Wallet and coinjoin service

[sztest]

Hello everyone,

We are excited to introduce Gingerwallet, a fork of Wasabi that provides coinjoin services with the same conditions as the original coordinator.

Our website: https://gingerwallet.io/

Meet the Team: https://medium.com/@molnardavid84/ginger-wallet-first-contact-1abc8d292abd

Coordinator URL:  https://api.gingerwallet.io/

From our website:

While it's a free market where anyone can act as a coordinator, few take responsibility. We are one of the few who do. With our secure background, we ensure your coins remain separate from illicit sources, making them acceptable by exchanges or other platforms.

We are committed to providing a secure and reliable coinjoin service. Check us out to learn more about our offerings and join the community.

This is interesting. Happy to see new wallets focused in coinjoin and privacy.
I will check out later.

I have a question about this.

Is it possible that your secure background taint my coins as illicit? Of it comes from some mixer I used in the past or something like that.

What happens in this case?

Hi,

No, it is not possible for our coordinator to taint your coin. The coordinator can only reject your coin from participating in a coinjoin; that is all it can do.

If you have more questions, please provide more details for a better understanding.

I would kindly suggest that you do not mention this part, especially if the real names of some of the team members are already known through the development of the Wasabi wallet. In the end, this is one of the reasons why Wasabi withdrew the Coinjoin feature from its wallet.

btw. It was more than obvious that the Wasabi wallet fork was going to happen.

If you have more questions, please provide more details for a better understanding.

Do you plan to make a more complete guide and "how to"?

I have never experienced this kind of thing before when trying to create any Bitcoin wallet or even an altcoin wallet. So I am just increasing from here just to be sure it's not an anomaly. Is it OK for a seed phrase to have repeated words?

In this case, the repeated word was "crime" when I was trying to create my first ever Ginger wallet.

I think it is normal for a seed to repeat words.

There is nothing stopping a word to be repeated more than once. In a 24 word mnemonic, with 2048 possible words in the dictionary (BIP 39), there is a probability of at least one duplicate around 12.7% of the time (variation of the birthday paradox).

Note: I am not affiliated with this wallet service and neither used it. Just answering question.

Is it OK for a seed phrase to have repeated words?

Yeah, that's totally fine. I understand your skepticism, as it looks weird when it happens. I saw it once as well and actually generated a second seen to avoid the repetition. Considering that the BIP39 wordlist consists of 2048 words and you will be using 12 or 24, you might notice one word repeated more than once occasionally. I am not good at math to tell you how probable it is, so I can only guess. I am guessing that if you generate 30 to 40 seeds right now, it's likely that you will encounter a word repeated in one of these seeds if not more.

Of course, you're right. I've updated the "Meet the Team" section with an article that explains everything in detail, including the reasons behind each decision.

As for whether we will have a guide: Absolutely. Right now, we're focusing on the launch, but as soon as we have time, we'll upload some materials.
