So bullish on Tor!
ARTI is making insane progress.

Yet another amazing article by Gustavo, this time about the many nuances of how Wasabi uses Tor to protect your privacy!

In Sanskrit, "sat" (सत्) refers to eternal, pure, godly. It is used to describe the Absolute Truth.

Proof-of-Work Summit
Max Hillebrand traces how cypherpunk primitives (signatures, blind signatures, hash functions) enabled trustless systems: from Chaum's e-cash to Bitcoin's proof-of-work rate-limiting of anonymous database writes. Recent advances include Schnorr aggregation, discrete log contracts, and zero-knowledge proofs. Adoption requires removing cognitive friction so privacy becomes automatic by default, as i

Wieslaw hacked together a Wasabi RPC user interface in only a couple hours.
You can do the same, and if yoir interface gets users, you get paid!
Shout out to all UI devs who are eager to stack some sats!

Blockspace in WabiSabi coinjoins are currently available for only 3 sats/vbyte, that's ridiculous, reclaim your privacy now and save yourself the sats when mempool is full again!
Excellent article by Gustavo about the critical importance of blockchain synchronization privacy, and how block filters are the only viable current solution.

Why Bitcoin Wallets Need Block Filters
Most Bitcoin wallets leak your private information to the wallet provider, block filters can help fix that.
Gaze and wonder at the coinjoin of the week! With 404 outputs, this massive transaction had 14.43 matches per value -
There’s strength in numbers. Join the crowd.

₿ Coinjoins Can Improve Lightning Network's ⚡ Privacy 🔒
Wasabi Wallet
Coinjoins can improve Lightning's privacy by severing input-output links when opening and closing channels. Currently, observers can identify multiple channels belonging to the same user through on-chain patterns: channels opened in one block or closed in one transaction. Mixing these operations through coinjoins masks the correlation while preserving LN's native off-chain privacy.
Hier ist ein Kamingespräch mit @Roman Reher und mir über die Zukunft von Künstlicher Intelligenz, und wie die gleichen Freiheitsprinzipien die Bitcoin so bahnbrechend machen, auch in der KI angewandt werden.
Das Fazit ist, ir müsst aufhören weniger zu sacken, denn die KI Agenten sind 24/7 motiviert so nützlich wie möglich zu sein um so viele sats wie möglich zu stacken.
Die BTC23 Konferenz IN Innsbruck war gigantisch, sei auf jeden Fall dabei nächstes Jahr in Wien!
Künstliche Intelligenz als Chance für Bitcoin!? - BTC23 ft. Roman Reher & Max Hillebrand
Die Bitcoin Konferenz
Roman Reher und Max Hillebrand diskutieren Bitcoin als Zahlungsschicht für dezentralisierte KI-Dienste: Lightning Network und Streaming-Payments ermöglichen Bezahlung pro Rechenzyklus statt Monatsgebühren. Sie argumentieren, dass Bitcoin-Knappheit KI-Agenten zu Kooperation mit Menschen zwingt, da sie Strom und Rechenleistung zahlen müssen; Zensurresistenz von Geldprotokollen ist essentiell für aut

MASSIVE reliability improvement of Wasabi this year!!
December 2022, the success rate of the first attempt coinjoin transaction was 15%, and the success rate of the blame round 35%.
But today, first rounds succeed 50% of the time, and blame rounds even Ich 85%.
This is mind blowing!
Mega proud of the work by both Wasabi and Tor contributors! 🖤
