There is a joke that says:

Europeans don’t have children because they can’t afford to support them. Muslims have many children because Europeans support them.

Most Argentinians have never heard about the Hantavirus, it's that unusual that you have to be as old as me, or older to know it.

quoting
nevent1q…g97s
Hantavirus exists in Argentina since forever and in my 48 years in this country I have never known about anyone to get it.

I know that if you have close contact with someone who has been exposed to the fluids of a specific kind of mouse in the southwestern part of the country, you could get it, but anyway, all the hysteria is too IMO

There is not one single time where Arkad (npub12aq…dvgy) makes an accurate comment about Wasabi. This is not by mistake --otherwise, he would occasionally say something correct even if just by pure chance.

**First**: I removed the coordination fee not because a lawyer said so, it was because that's the right thing to do and because that is what I always wanted to do. Having a mechanism to take users' money is wrong. What prevent Ashigaru's Whirlpool coordinator from taking your money? Nothing. The coordinator is the one that tells the client how much it must pay for the service and the client doesn't make even a single check to see whether that is reasonable or not. If you trust anonymous random coordinators so so much to allow them to run with your money then okay, you are a fucking moron. Even in Wasabi where there were many mechanisms to prevent such a thing there was a coordinator that was able to exploting the coordination fee crap to take users money but that's over.

**Second**: In Wasabi it doesn't matter how many coins you have because it is not possible to "fill" the coinjoin round simply because there is not a limit. In case the number of coins registered in a round reaches the maximum allowed, the round is distroyed and two new rounds are created, the process repeats again and again. Finally, in the worst case, if lets say only 10 users are in a round with 10 coins each and you enter to that round with 500 coins, the maximum damage that you can do it to create the illusion of a higher anonymity set in the other participants' wallets but you cannot deanonimize them and that won't be for free either.

**Third**: About sybil attacks too, the whirlpool implementation is by far the easiert to sybil attack by the coordinator and it is almost for free because a coordinator can register 4 coins of its own, but you know what? That doesn't matter because there are endless ways in which the Whirlpool coordinator can deanonimize users.

**Fourth**: Calling the coordination fee "anti-sybil fee" is a good joke, it is not that they want your money, it is that the only way for you to be safe is by giving them money otherwise someone could deanonymize you!

**Fifth**: Wasabi coordinators don't have liquidity!? Are you fucking keeding me? In this month there were 30,710.36 BTC with 5,155.89 BTC Fresh Inputs according to http://liquisabi.com/

**Sixth**: Wasabi coinjoins almost never creates change (traceable outputs) while Whirlpool always creates traceable change.

Ok, I stop listening here because I don't want to continue suffering this torture.

Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/live/qbdDkguiX-w

quoting nevent1q…f8dl
I repeat: the comeback of Whirlpool is something to celebrate. I have rushed to audit the code, reported the findings and propused solutions to fix the problems while it is still cheap to do.

However, this have resurrected all the mindless zombies that were hibernating for more than a year. In this case Arkad (npub12aq…dvgy) the Spanish "influencers" restarted the train of lies about Wasabi.

Stop lying man!

Yes, it was down a couple of hours. We have discussed how to proceed with our strategy to prevent this from happening again.

We are going to make Wasabi to synchronize with a node without requiring compact filters and also a mechanism to allow the client to use random indexers transparently, what would make issues like this impossible in the future.

It will take time but it worth the effort.

Yes, but Argentina is still bound to it.

No, a payjoin is a transaction with one payer and one payee that collaborate to fool an external observer.

What I want is lots of payers batching their payments together as Wasabi already does but I want to see payments being the rule and not the exception.

The documentation is correct but not detailed enough. Basically Wasabi can start a new Tor instance or use the one configured by the user or provided by the system as is the case in whonix.

To make sure it uses the system's instance you have to start Wasabi with the option '--usetor=EnabledOnlyRunning' or in the Config.json file set '"UseTor": "EnabledOnlyRunning"', another way to achieve the same is by setting the environment variable 'WASABI-USETOR' to EnabledOnlyRunning.

And yes, it can switch identities using this mode in whonix.
