Landed in El Salvador and a guy in front of me was stopped by security. 10m later he finds me:
"They asked for PCR test, which I didn't have, but I told them I'm a Bitcoiner. I just had to show them my Twitter acc and they let me go. Is this heaven?"
Which one of you was it? 😁
#China
is building a university in
#Hungary
The streets around it got officially renamed to:
- Dalai Lama St.
- Uyghur Martyrs St.
- Free Hong Kong St.
Not joking. This is real.
Wasabi Wallet cannot reveal your Bitcoin transaction history and wallet balances to the government, even if we are forced by law. We don't simply choose to not collect that information, your privacy is architecturally ensured by the code you're running.
"It's funny, because it's true."
1. Open a bank account. Forget about it. A few years later you are broke.
2. Create a Bitcoin wallet. Forget about it. A few years later you are a millionaire.
I opened a bank account half a year ago with 39 USD to get a proof of address bank statement (cannot be older than 3 months) to get a Bitcoin debit card. I forgot about this account. Today I did go back to get another one. Turns out my account was in minus 27 USD.
Facebook's new crypto currency "Libra" is bad news for Bitcoin. Facebook will target the very market Bitcoin is counting on for growth, the unbanked in nations with high inflation. Libra will be stable, and much easier and cheaper to use as a medium of exchange than Bitcoin.
1/ I noticed privacy work in Bitcoin is gaining momentum. This time it's not only research but delivery, too. Many exciting developments are in the finish line.
I worked on Bitcoin privacy for the past decade. I know the research literature from the inside out.
I still did not encounter a single theory promising to deanonymize Wasabi Wallet coinjoins.
It's safe to say now:
#Bitcoin
DOES HAVE great privacy, it's just not the default YET
A Twitter employee is social engineered and the world is shaking.
You can hack or social engineer any Wasabi Wallet employee, including me and you can't gain access to any of our users' funds or private information.
Writing trustless systems is not easy, but it's worth it.
I dedicated well over half a decade for
#Bitcoin
development.
Mainstream arrived, so it won't be long till a group of people printing money will universally be considered unacceptable.
It was a pleasure to work together with you guys, like minded gentlemen
Diving into Austrian Economics is a deeply saddening experience, because most of it is common sense and logic, and if any of this true, the implications are horrific
My most important tweet so far. If you ever considered retweeting me. This is the time. Or even better: come and mix coins with me!
I just published "ZeroLink: Massive Scale CoinJoin Is About To Be Deployed - Participate In The Final Test And Earn $10"
Did you notice
@rogerkver
changed narrative lately? "Bitcoin Cash will get Lightning, too if it's that good." No, it won't. Bitcoin Cash's main feature was to remove a bugfix: segwit, which is needed for LN.
BREAKING: The founder of Chanalysis values privacy after all!
He did not answer my question on how much money he has, despite the sole goal of his private company is to figure out how much money you and me have.
He values privacy, but not yours, only his own.
After 20 hours of airport struggles, I'm only one flight away from the promised land El Salvador. Eager to see with my own eyes what

started!

here I come!
Building Wasabi from source code is so simple that I can even place the instructions to a single tweet 😂
1. Install git and .NET Core.
2. git clone
3. cd WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi.Gui
4. dotnet run
"The end of compliance, as we know it."
Exchange thanked me fo Wasabi, because they want to accept everyone's money, but they have to do chainanal for compliance. However if user puts money through Wasabi they don't have to worry about its origin.
@Stanford
university got some useful lectures about Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technologies.
And... if you look closer Lecture 13 has a flawless pearl in it:
ZeroLink: The Bitcoin Fungibility Framework
@nopara73
you are now a curriculum.
Did you know? Wasabi doesn't scale. We keep filters in memory and in a few years they'd be GB large.
This changes today. Sometimes the most unnoticable work is the most important one. Thank you for the hard work on this

Coldcard is integrated to Wasabi. Possibly other hardware wallets are working, too, but I don't have access to them. Consider to help testing them out:
This is a terrible precedent. The first report of this kind.
It also personally surprises me that of all the places Binance is doing it because half a year ago they tried to invest in Wasabi :o
It's dead serious. A year ago they canceled my card and I had to sleep on a bench for a few days. Luckily I had enough cash to live on instant noodles from Taiwan's 7-Elevens until I found someone on Localbitcoins.
This is a great example of how without cash, we're putting the entire economy and citizenry under the control of a tiny number of monopolistic and almost entirely unregulated¹ multi-national companies.
1) Unregulated w/ respect to human rights.
Wasabi users are under dust attack and it seems to be somewhat successful. About half of them don't mind joining together some of their dusts, exposing the links between their mixed outputs (not the mixes though.) I'll hide the dust in the next release.
The supply chain of the pencil is so complex, that it's inevitable to find centralization somewhere in it.
Unpopular observation. The supply chain of a software is more complex than that of the pencil.
No idea what's going on here, but these photos make me sad.
As
#Bitcoin
takes over the world it's important to not become the tyranny we're fighting against. With great power comes great responsibility.
Wasabi Wallet's CoinJoin algorithm will be replaced.

It is ironic how this month is the most desperate one for crypto traders, while the most exciting one for Bitcoin researchers and developers. The universe is making justice.
In 2022 the concept of coin control as a necessary tool to achieve privacy on
#Bitcoin
will finally be obsoleted by Wasabi Wallet 2.0 🚀🚀🚀
This is the last remaining UX hurdle that kept anonymous usage of
#Bitcoin
a niche🥲
I implemented some intra-wallet blockchain analysis heuristics to Wasabi to show the history of your coins, so you can make educated decisions on what coins to join together and what coins to not coin together. (Beta Release in 15 days.)
