Think about this: without privacy, there is no Bitcoin as we know it, and you cannot expect there will always be someone out there risking everything for you to enjoy your privacy. You have to do your part. Everyone can run a Wasabi coordinator. Currently, you don't even need to have a Bitcoin node to do that. Launch your own coordinator for you, your friends, your family, and members of your close community.

The freedom of developers at the mercy of the arbitrary winds of American bipartisanship. View article →

Politicians, those human beings versed in the art of lying, are worried about misinformation on social networks.

Bitcoin can save all states around the world from their increasing debts, and they don't need to buy any sats; they can acquire Bitcoin by other means. If you own any Bitcoin and you applaud this narrative, there's something deeply wrong with you.

I love programming for it own sake and I will always love it.

What a fucking disgrace Exceptions are. They are basically gotos to who knows where and, in many cases, to nowhere.

I'm tired of shitcoinery. Look... airplane wings are what allow a massive steel structure to soar through the skies and are, without any doubt, among the most important technological components of the 20th century. Now, since these are elements of the physical world, we've never had to endure hordes of idiots proposing to discard airplanes and focus on "wing technology" nor claiming that wings have millions of uses and that the ridiculous airplane is just the first "app".

Did you know that while the US has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and some states are planning to have their own, while American companies buy bitcoin aggressively and hedge funds compete with their ETFs, while President Donald Trump instructs DOJ to stop harassing devs and entrepreneurs to make America a leading country in Bitcoin; the IMF (an organization mostly controlled by the US) not only forbids other countries from doing the same but demands that they de-bitcoinize. In Argentina's case, the IMF asked the government to do everything possible to stop the bitcoinization process.

Tell us more. How are you dealing with the tree of presigned txs? Isn't the set really big without covenants?

In a #coinJoin, you send money to yourself only because there is not enough liquidity in the system and because it is the easiest thing to implement it. Ideally, a #coinJoin should be a batch of real payments mixed with self-payments. However, given that the ability to pay in #coinJoin is not really available—other than in Wasabi using command line interface—that liquidity will never be there. Nevertheless, that's our best chance to make every payment a coinJoin.

Wasabi used to depend on Bitcoin Knots but that's not the case anymore.
