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 the Spanish "influencers" restarted the train of lies about Wasabi.
Stop lying man!
Whirlpool is a ZeroLink implementation similar to Wasabi Wallet 1.x was and even when the protocol and the cryptography involved are simple, there are many chances to make mistakes. During the early days Wasabi team introduced bugs using RSA and then using Schnorr, for example.
This is something to celebrate anyway as we need more privacy tools and because it was sad to witness the level of cowardy raining in the environment while a bunch of "purists" attacked all privacy tools as if they were able to do it better.
