Today is the day when the company behind Wasabi Wallet will be shutting down. So it is time to tell you my story, of how it all started and how it all ended, a personal side of the Wasabi Wallet saga in this chapter of the Privacy Wars. image It all started with a message in my DMs that Wasabi Wallet have sent me, saying they would like to talk to me about a opportunity to contribute to the company and collaborate actively. Little did I know this was a hidden job opportunity for me that will fully drag me into the privacy wars. With my relationship already shambolic with Scamourai Wallet and their zombie hordes, it was a logical decision to join a side of the war, the implied winning side, but did I know nobody will be a winner in this war but a loser on all fronts. On the 25th of September, 2021, I started working at Wasabi Wallet after a short negotiation and discussion in the role of Community and Reputation Management for zkSNACKs Ltd. Although it was obvious my role was much more broad so this was just a fancy keyword for everything. image I had to solve many obstacles and provide critical feed back for individuals working at the company starting in the early days but as we progressed my role at the company have diminished and personal differences made it difficult to get around or be acknowledged. I still remember within my first week I managed to yank nopara73 out of his comfort zone and get him to get on a boring train ride to Paralelni Polis, his first ever Hacker's Congress that I convinced him to attend and I am sure he never got to regret it. image This was one of the best conference experience I had that I was able to attend with a friend, never had this chance before, but it was quite fun. I'm proud to call him a friend even to this day long after I have separated away from Wasabi. image The overall progress at the company focused on developing WabiSabi, Wasabi Wallet 2.0 which hit many obstacles, developer disagreements, personality incompatibilities, no-coiners in the company and financial interests. We had to ditch a Google employee that worked at us also. image

My grandmother once asked for Coffee from the US, and I bought one of these in the mix, and we tried it and we couldn’t stop buying it ever since. image

#Photography This line at Sea-Tac was insane. Then figured out I can use the latest US spyware app to skip the line. I was out 5 minutes after taking this photo thanks to the MPC App. image

I want to try out telegram and see how their app handles bitcoin transactions, never before got to try it. It looks super weird though. Automatically offers tether as the first option and then TON shitcoin and then Bitcoin only. Not sure what to think of this.

Primal keeps fucking refreshing for absolutely no reason. Anyone got any idea how to fix it?

I am trying out Fedi, with Freedom One and Free Medeira federations, plus I've been getting a bit more comfortable with trying Blink for daily spending, been more reliable then Breez lately. I always somehow default back to Breez after a while because I like their interface and how reliable their on-chain to lightning channel opening and swaps are, never had any issues with it, but phoenix just as much does not work with Bitcoin ATMs that have LN enabled.
