Disgusting piece of shit. Better block and move on. nostr:nevent1qqsq7ducms337rsgrmwe7fnu7w32rtnj7y5yy5maf2e9ml0ak42dgzspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyru6ev9sxnzvz9m7np03gculx9l0plk7uajhcpstz3hw0yqzgvt7cqcyqqqqqqgjhtzvu

Fulcrum 2.0 has been released! I synced a new DB from scratch, here's my experience: It took about 2.5 days to sync the new Fulcrum on a laptop (Ryzen 7 5700U, db_mem 8000 GiB). The v2 DB is a little larger than v1: 176 GiB against 166 GiB. To test performance, I repeteadly queried a large BTC address (1HckjUpRGcrrRAtFaaCAUaGjsPx9oYmLaZ) for balance and history and got these results: v1 get_balance: [335, 416] range, avg 378 ms; v2 get_balance: [348, 355] range, avg 352 ms; v1 get_history: [32676, 33723] range, avg 33214 ms; v2 get_history: [23208, 23947] range, avg 23508 ms; Hopefully someone will come up with better benchmarks, it was a real PITA to measure time due to netcat/socat keeping the connection alive. Now, the best part: I left a script running all day, killing -9 Fulcrum and restarting it for a total of 95 kills. The DB was not corrupted. image Check the release notes for instructions on how to upgrade from v1: https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum/releases/tag/v2.0.0

I've finished comparing the released Ashigaru code with Samourai Wallet. I did this for my own, personal usage, but it might serve others. Feel free to add your remarks/questions, DYOR and/or wait for more reviews. TL;DR: I found nothing wrong and plan to use it soon. image I ran a diff between this release and TDevD's commit from Apr 24th. I didn't check the code between the latest SW release and that date since I already trusted SW. Ashigaru devs (AD) published release notes [1] and there are also the commit messages from SW commit radar [2]. SW had a fork of bitcoinj. I never had it cloned and it's possible the repository is lost :( The library and source code are downloaded from JitPack. According to their logs [3], it was built in Mar 20th. Unless AD are wicked and in cahoots with JitPack, it should be safe to me. ===== From ExtLibJ, which is used for Stonewall, Soroban, BIP47 etc, there are no changes, except for backend URLs. Comparison was made with noosphere888's repository [4]. ===== Ok, so now on to the actual review. New features: the wallet pings an onion URL to see if there's a new version, maybe because there's no Play store and they have no social media. Also there's a new wallet sync view. Tor and own Dojo are now mandatory. image image image image OXT explorer was removed. Apparently one is available only if the Dojo instance has one. Soroban (without Joinbot) and Ricochet are back. So is PayNym, under a new directory. The connect fee has been waived. Whirlpool removed from the GUI and also options to call SW's support. image About the new directory, I would like to file a complaint against the CEO. What the hell was that 😭😭😭🗣️🗣️🗣️ image To finish the review, there were many changes due to rebranding, changing URLs, colours and addresses. ===== The build is reproducible as per the instructions. I used unzip instead of apktool because it's faster and was already installed. image That's it, congratulations and good luck to Ashigaru devs. Now, take some time to visit http://freesamourai.com [5]. #FreeSamourai Links: [1] https://ashigaru.rs/news/release-wallet-v1-0-0 [2] https://t.me/SamouraiCommitRadar [3] https://jitpack.io/io/samourai/code/whirlpool/bitcoinj/007/build.log [4] https://github.com/noosphere888/ExtLibJ [5] https://freesamourai.com
