This is why we've seen many relays switch to fully paid, or disappear altogether...

Too bad my github account got suspended... I think this release has many things I worked on! Now you don't see any of that 😢
No idea what Muse is though, Its from Facebook/Meta right?
https://coinjoin.nl/index.html#history We just did another successful round this Sunday! With all open-source code for the coordinator and clients, which you can contribute to by testing hardware wallet coinjoin signing on my Wasabi Preview branch: https://github.com/kravens/WalletWasabi/releases https://blossom.primal.net/24d8ecb1c3e3150d0ed41eb73fb1f145b79c9826b13bf7a399c15226e95ea6f1.png

I am terminally online, AI has been trained on our writing. It's not our writing that sounds like AI cliches, the AI simply trained on our cliches.
I'll be at @nprofile…7emy in Amsterdam this year so you can ask me anything about https://coinjoin.nl or https://t.me/bittipbot in person again https://blossom.primal.net/c78f32db62459701accda68564a17c462a413a65f375943da7fcc929f8fafc11.png

AI analysis:
Read through joinstr-ark by @nprofile…79xu : a coinjoin of Ark VTXOs using bark + rust-joinstr. Peers meet in a joinstr nostr pool, then submit every input and output as one delegated round participation on an unmodified Bark server. It ran on signet against Second's server.
https://gitlab.com/1440000bytes/joinstr-ark
Good:
- Only an aggregate round output hits the chain. No coinjoin fingerprint for chain analysis.
- The server pays mining fees, so small amounts are viable. Mixing rides on the VTXO refresh you need anyway.
- The coordinator can't steal. Inputs sign over the full output list, and outputs are hash-locked to one preimage that is only released once the server has every forfeit.
Tradeoffs vs WabiSabi:
- The adversary changes. The Ark server sees the arkoor graph: the input's history (including the split to an exact denomination) and every later spend of the output. The mix only hides which input became which output.
- Whirlpool-shaped: fixed denomination, 1 input / 1 output, no change. The anonset is the peers in one participation.
- Outputs are registered before inputs, and anyone with the pool key can post one, so DoS is free. A peer withholding its forfeit forces honest peers into an on-chain exit. In WabiSabi a failed round costs nothing and bad UTXOs get banned.
- Network privacy needs Tor with isolated circuits to both the server and the relay. That's not in the demo yet, and the author says so.
- Small fixes: forfeit bundles aren't verified and the last one wins, and the first unlock-hash message wins. Either lets a pool member force a failed round. Griefing, not theft.
Where I'd like to see it go: WabiSabi over Ark. Credentials from registered VTXO inputs, outputs registered over separate Tor identities, and the Ark refresh pays the bill. Great proof of concept.

The #FreeSamourai Prison Run donation has been made, of course inside a coinjoin, to the billandkeonne.org fundraiser: https://cdn.azzamo.media/b5932c72a38831bcdda41ed1b54aac3fa28258b9cf824d0245e1587e214de74d.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/672e33e2d9088b6c7b300cb2310aae1c680d015768720f94dd9345cc630017d4.png https://mempool.space/tx/1d78af9329d39572923ec822c6355cb9549ddabcb7fdd789fa1ad5f62a8dedcd
Thank you all for participating and/or donating to help raise awareness for the two bitcoin wallet developers that are still unjustly detained for writing open source code to help you protect your onchain privacy 🕶️
If you feel inspired, you can still donate directly via https://billandkeonne.org

There is a joke that says:
Europeans don’t have children because they can’t afford to support them. Muslims have many children because Europeans support them.
Unfortunately just when we believed the media was losing power, they show us all how wrong we were.
Stop whatever you are doing, and join a round of https://coinjoin.nl 🕶️
Interesting that this is possible, I hope there is no bug in the peg-in/out protocol
Shielded Bitcoin: Zcash-style private transfers on Bitcoin L1, no soft fork. Encrypted notes + nullifiers + ZK proofs posted on-chain, state rebuilt by indexers. Hides amount, sender, receiver, graph. Costs: Groth16 trusted setup, ~4× fees, empty anonymity set, peg-in/out (via PIPEs) still unpublished.

No, it doesn't look like that, it's just that the project is under attack by a group of zealots who invest time in spreading FUD.
However, look at the numbers. Wasabi is doing better and better despite those idiotic efforts.
On March 1st, 2027, the Wasabi indexer server, which provides compact filters to older versions, will be shut down.
Wasabi is open source and it is developed and discussed in the open, that's why you see issues, PRs and discussions. Yes, it had, has and will have bugs. Those that are exploitable are called vulnerabilities and if you pick any random bitcoin wallet you will see that the latest releases are full of bug fixes/vuln fixes. Wasabi is not the exception.
There was a bug that in some cases it could result in paying twice and for that reason we decided to implement the most secure mechanism that consists on never retrying a failed payment until we test a better fix.
Next version v2.9.0 will contain the fix. In the meanwhile, you can use v2.8.2 if you are paying to yourself, to an exchange or to trusted persons because the chances of paying twice are extreme low -- the problem is there in theory but we have never seen it in the real world.
Same experience here. I spent many hours configuring my environment and with he help of AI I was able to redesigned my system completely.
