The Land of the Free is no more!

zkSNACKs and Wasabi Wallet has been blocked for US citizens. They can no longer download the software or interact with its APIs and other services. US IP addresses have been blocked.
Not that I am one bit sorry for Wasabi or zkSNACKs. They deserve the storm if it ends up coming their way. It's sad for anyone in the US who still relied on Wasabi (they shouldn't have) to improve their privacy.

Hopefully America will be free one day.

Since they host their builds on Github you can still download them with no issues.

If you are us based and you run it and it works then they are as they say using TOR and it should not matter.

If at any time the wallet pops up anything telling you that you are US based and can't use the service then somewhere along the line they are sending your IP to the their servers so at that point you know they are getting your real IP. Which as we know they do not need.
