Wasabi is a privacy wallet for Bitcoin only. Release notes & download (open source): https://github.com/WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi/releases/tag/v2.3.0.0
This version of Wasabi introduces major improvements to the user experience with a more intuitive and useful interface, while continuing the efforts to enhance and streamline the codebase for easier maintainability and better building blocks for further improvements.
🌐 Enhanced Tor integration
We’ve completely rewritten our Tor integration, replacing custom code with a more efficient, standard HttpClient. This not only improves performance but also enhances code clarity, making it easier to review which identities are used in specific contexts. This reduces potential errors and improves the wallet's overall security.
📊 Better BTC amount formatting
Amount formatting has been significantly improved across the wallet, offering clearer readability for both small and large balances, whether you want to read as BTC (decimals) or Sats. The aesthetics of all screens presenting amounts have been revisited to be smoother and consistent throughout the application.
🔍 More insight on transactions
The Preview Transaction and Transaction Details dialogs now include a lists of inputs and outputs. This long-requested feature offers insight into the privacy-enhancing effects of coinjoins and the level of anonymity achieved with each transaction. Additionally, it is now visually clear how privacy suggestions improves transactions.
💰 [Beta] Payment in coinjoin (RPC only)
Our Payment in coinjoin feature is now officially in beta! It is currently accessible only though the RPC. While this feature is still in development and lacks certain functionalities, we encourage users to test it and provide feedback. Learn more about it in the Documentation
🔒 Trezor Safe 5 & ColdCard Q support
Hardware Wallet Interface (HWI) has been updated to version 3.1.0 along with support for Trezor Safe 5 & ColdCard Q.
can anyone with insight explain what the Payment in Coinjoin feature does/is -- and how it's accessed ("through the RPC"...?)
Wasabi allows you to use the application with an RPC interface for command line users instead of a GUI interface.
'Pay in Coinjoin' is an exclusive feature for RPC users that allows you to send funds to the final destination address directly in a coinjoin transaction instead of performing the coinjoin and payment across 2 separate transactions: https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/using-wasabi/RPC.html#payincoinjoin
Does this mean that the Wasabi wallet only functions as a wallet? I'm still a beginner, because I just found out about wasabi application products.
Yes, Wasabi only functions as a wallet, there's no exchange or anything.
Can we attach Wasabi to SN ?
Wasabi is an onchain wallet and SN uses lightning so no
The man was 5 seconds away from attempting to payjoin his SN cowboy credits using wasabi wallet to top up his e-cash balance in ox chat.
His FBI agent would have been completely bamboozled.
Thank you sir.
Giving this wallet a test run. How do you all think it compares with Sparrow?
Sparrow has a lot of flexibility with support for multisig and many different script types. However, Sparrow will leak all of the addresses in your wallet to third party servers during syncing unless you've already connected your full node first.
Wasabi specializes in privacy and does all network communications through Tor by default. Balance discovery uses compact block filters (BIP157/BIP158) by default to synchronize privately in a lightweight way. This reduces the data requirement compared to a full node by ~99% without leaking your wallet's addresses to anyone else's server.
The main feature of Wasabi is the ability to participate in coinjoin transactions. Coinjoins bundle your inputs with other users into the same transaction to fool tracking attempts made by blockchain analysis. Sparrow removed their coinjoin feature in April (although advanced users can build coinjoin transactions "manually" using Sparrow's tools).
My understanding is that Wasabi's official 'coinjoin' coordinator is no more... Are there other coordinators, new ones, that are trusted with good liquidity? I'm very hesitant to use others unless they are vetted and legitimate.
Coordinators aren't trusted with custody of funds or data, your open source software does the vetting for you. Here's some coinjoin explorer sites, I run a coordinator, you should run one too :)

I appreciate you saying that. I'll hold off using before doing some more research.
Finally that betting one is off the top!
Yeahhhh it was kinda driving me crazy… there should be some rate of decay for those boosted posts to let other boosted posts be able to take their place!
The highest boost on the site stays pinned to the homepage for 30 days unless someone boosts higher.
The expectation is that people keep kicking each other out of the top spot. People just haven't realized it yet so it's very uncompetitive.
I like the idea and advertisement potential, l just didnt enjoy seeing the "bet on the elections" post always above everything else.
To each their own, I just wasnt interested in it.
I mean I’d just like to see some turnover lol or they keep having to pay the boost!
No, they only paid once for the boost, it's not a daily payment.
Boosts stays on top for a month or if someone boosts more.
Thats what I thought, too. I didnt want to say it in case I was wrong.
Let's check it out!
I thought this wallet was dead. You can still coin join?
You can still coinjoin, here's a few explorer websites that aggregate coordinator stats: https://liquisabi.com/ https://wabisator.com/
So not as easy as it was before
It's just as easy, it's just not enabled by default.
was this post retroactively boosted?
yes, not sure why
they outbid the other post to be on the top again
I see!
yeah for sure, just interesting, didn't know the feature went that deep
I am interested on any bitcoin wallet offering bitcoin ln solutions. Not native bitcoin only.
Yeah, I wish Wasabi supported Lightning directly too. But you should still coinjoin the UTXOs that you use for channels, otherwise your off chain privacy will eventually leak on chain.
How does the RPC interface facilitate advanced user functionalities compared to the GUI?
Let's try it out
let's check it out!.... what will be next
It is an excellent wallet, I really recommend it.
Great
