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

eXch exchange has been taken offline by law enforcement agency. Apparently, the FIOD left a message for the exchange's users:
eXch - instant exchange BTC / LN / XMR / LTC / ETH / ERC20
eXch - instant exchange BTC / LN / XMR / LTC / ETH / ERC20
We are back!

Corrected text:
In Argentina, it was forbidden to exchange pesos for other currencies. From time to time, the government sent police to catch those exchanging currencies and close the "cuevas" (underground exchange offices).
It never worked, and everybody was buying, selling, and holding USD. The TV and newspapers published the non-official (blue) peso/USD exchange rate in real time (yes, the price of an illegal good).
One day, the rate was increasing so rapidly that the government called the media to order them to set an "official" rate for the illegal market, something like saying: "from now on, the official price of a gram of cocaine is this one."
The media then published the fake, government-imposed rate for the "blue" dollar, but next to it appeared a new rate called the "deep blue" dollar.
You can't stop a whole people from defending themselves from inflation and financial represion without going full violence.
Claude got angry. One of my most used prompts is "Correct the following text" followed by a piece of text in English and it always had done just that until now. Look how it ignores my request about correcting the text and it tries to correct me instead. 

The good thing about democratic elections in Europe is that if you vote wrong they give you another chance
I've just watched the most shameless propaganda movie of my life: BlacKkKlansman. In fact, this one is even worse than Ip Man 4: The Finale.


This would be very good news for everybody in this space.

Nonce reuse seems to be still a reality

WTF! This coinjoin
contains a payment to El Salvador's bitcoin address 32ixEdVJWo3kmvJGMTZq5jAQVZZeuwnqzo.
It looks more like someone testing the pay-in-coinjoin feature than a real "donation". The curious thing here is that the donor used a standard denomination, something that doesn't make any sense here because the address is already known.
I can imagine four reasons for this:
1. Making sure nobody will ever send money to El Salvador using Pay-In-Coinjoin tx again. This is because the coordinators prevent address reuse and then it will be impossible to pay to the same address again. It could be a defense mechanism.
2. Creating a link between El Salvador's bitcoin address and Lazarus addresses. I'm not a chain analysis company and I have no way to know whether or not that tx includes Lazarus funds, but if so, that could be the intention (silly).
3. Inflating the Wasabi calculated anonscore (demonstrating the existence of a bug), but nobody has reported it yet.
4. Donating while playing with Wasabi.

#WasabiWallet is going to remove its dependency on a central server. There will be two independent components:
* Wallet API, the one that provides compact filters for wallet synchronization, and
* WabiSabi API for coordinating coinjoins.
Privacy warriors can run one or both. On the client side, In the settings page, users will be able to select the Wallet service provider and the Coinjoin service provider. Other services such as transaction fee rate provider and exchange rate providers are configurable too.
