I have published a project called migrate-wallet.
I did this years ago when I wanted to migrate my wallets, but never published it. Now asked GLM to fixed a few things and finish it, so here it is.
You can run it offline and it generates 1 transaction per UTXO. if you want to try it. It requires:
- UTXO list from Sparrow;
- Seed words + optional passphrase;
- XPUB of new wallet;
Check the readme for instructions and more settings.

Ventoy is a such a nice, simple software for creating a bootable USB stick with multiple ISOs.
Just copy the files to the USB stick and it's done.

This is pointless here, it only affects your node. Other knots users aren't doing it, but repeating Luke's BS that Whirlpool deliberately chose to break op_return limit and that this is bad for privacy.
You can easily remove "knots" from your UA to circumvent this detection and also disable the ban on your node.

Knots by default does not relay Whirlpool and BIP47 transactions, two common transaction types of Dojo users.

It seems the only way to post with a sec is using --sec <sec key> or using an env var. I was confused because the examples have `nak event --sec 02 -c 'good morning'`.
I thought that meant the 2nd (or 3rd) sec key, but apparently that '02' is the priv key itself.

I was trying to find a way to use my nsec key instead of a generated one.
I was able to post this using --sec <nsec>, but isn't there a way to add it with key or admin commands?

How do you use nak? There are many examples on GitHub, though there isn't a single post?
You can use `at` instead of cron too =]

FWIW, they changed this on Apr 29th: https://github.com/chainwayxyz/clementine/pull/1241
I don't know if that went on mainnet release (not that it was needed, anyway).
Said it on X also: https://x.com/ottosch_/status/2062895674916581480

They were relayed through regular nodes running libre relay.
I myself had one running and saw many transactions > 80 bytes in my logs.
Made several posts about it with txids so anyone could verify.

They were NOT submitted to miners.

Fulcrum 2.0 has been released!
I synced a new DB from scratch, here's my experience:
It took about 2.5 days to sync the new Fulcrum on a laptop (Ryzen 7 5700U, db_mem 8000 GiB).
The v2 DB is a little larger than v1: 176 GiB against 166 GiB.
To test performance, I repeteadly queried a large BTC address (1HckjUpRGcrrRAtFaaCAUaGjsPx9oYmLaZ) for balance and history and got these results:
v1 get_balance: [335, 416] range, avg 378 ms;
v2 get_balance: [348, 355] range, avg 352 ms;
v1 get_history: [32676, 33723] range, avg 33214 ms;
v2 get_history: [23208, 23947] range, avg 23508 ms;
Hopefully someone will come up with better benchmarks, it was a real PITA to measure time due to netcat/socat keeping the connection alive.
Now, the best part:
I left a script running all day, killing -9 Fulcrum and restarting it for a total of 95 kills. The DB was not corrupted.

Yeah, sure, you don't really need a mempool... but Bitcoin Core also has that option, called `-blocksonly`.
Maybe he means libbitcoin does not require an UTXO set. I remember Eric has stated that a bunch of times.

2025-05-11 17:50:17 UTC

How come? You need a mempool to estimate fees.

2025-05-04 13:55:24 UTC

- reply

Yes.
1- Scammer sees you selling;
2- Finds a buyer (victim);
3- Tells victim to send you fiat;
4- You see the payment, send coins to scammer;
5- You and the scammer are happy, the victim isn't and will call the bank, go after you etc;
Step 2 can be unrelated to Bitcoin (ex: scammer could pretend to be selling a phone).

2025-05-03 23:03:38 UTC

The problem is when you stumble upon some piece of sh*t performing MITM scams. One bad trade ruins dozens or hundreds of good trades.
I made like 10 trades and then met the scammer. Bank charged back the money from my account. I filed a lawsuit, won, but had the bank account terminated and was banned from some services affiliated with that bank.
For Lightning or Monero swapping, gift cards etc, it's great. But without a reputation system, it's too risky to interact with the fiat system.

> Knots quickly fixed this in its 25.1 release
1- Knots did not fix anything. Everybody running Knots is storing all the data exactly as the people running Core or other implementations.
2- Even if every single node runner were running Knots, if ONE miner decides to take those transactions, the data would still be there.
3- Even if all miners ran Knots, the inscription pattern (called envelope) can trivially be adapted to bypass that filter.

Sir, as pointed by Pavel, whirlpool-client is a dependency of the android app:

Yes, but without Whirlpool, at least for the moment.

No, both the binaries and the sources are available here (append the file name to the URL): https://jitpack.io/io/samourai/code/whirlpool/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-core/007/
It was a relief knowing it was uploaded before the arrest!
It's not ideal, but JitPack is a very popular Maven repository, like google and mavencentral.

I've finished comparing the released Ashigaru code with
Samourai Wallet.
I did this for my own, personal usage, but it might serve others. Feel free to add your remarks/questions, DYOR and/or wait for more reviews.
TL;DR: I found nothing wrong and plan to use it soon.
https://m.primal.net/LFoi.png
I ran a diff between this release and TDevD's commit from Apr 24th. I didn't check the code between the latest SW release and that date since I already trusted SW.
Ashigaru devs (AD) published release notes [1] and there are also the commit messages from SW commit radar [2].
SW had a fork of bitcoinj. I never had it cloned and it's possible the repository is lost :(
The library and source code are downloaded from JitPack. According to their logs [3], it was built in Mar 20th.
Unless AD are wicked and in cahoots with JitPack, it should be safe to me.
=====
From ExtLibJ, which is used for Stonewall, Soroban, BIP47 etc, there are no changes, except for backend URLs.
Comparison was made with noosphere888's repository [4].
=====
Ok, so now on to the actual review.
New features: the wallet pings an onion URL to see if there's a new version, maybe because there's no Play store and they have no social media.
Also there's a new wallet sync view.
Tor and own Dojo are now mandatory.
https://m.primal.net/LFoo.png
https://m.primal.net/LFon.png
https://m.primal.net/LFop.png
https://m.primal.net/LFor.png
OXT explorer was removed. Apparently one is available only if the Dojo instance has one.
Soroban (without Joinbot) and Ricochet are back. So is PayNym, under a new directory. The connect fee has been waived.
Whirlpool removed from the GUI and also options to call SW's support.
https://m.primal.net/LFos.png
About the new directory, I would like to file a complaint against the CEO. What the hell was that 😭😭😭🗣️🗣️🗣️
https://m.primal.net/LFov.png
To finish the review, there were many changes due to rebranding, changing URLs, colours and addresses.
=====
The build is reproducible as per the instructions. I used unzip instead of apktool because it's faster and was already installed.
https://m.primal.net/LFow.png
That's it, congratulations and good luck to Ashigaru devs. Now, take some time to visit http://freesamourai.com [5].
