New version! Wasabi Wallet v2.7.0 is a stabilization release that not only strengthens reliability but also brings a fresh look and smoother performance.
🟠 Enhanced Bitcoin Node Integration
Bitcoin node connectivity is now more seamless. RPC endpoint handling has been refined for smoother setup, with support for onion-service RPC interfaces.
Additionally, Wasabi no longer bundles bitcoind binaries, while block downloading has been simplified and made more dependable.
🎨 Refreshed UI with Icons & Animations
The interface has been given a polished update. Subtle animations and a balanced color scheme breathe new life into Wasabi’s design, making it both cleaner and less aggressive.
⚙️ Dedicated Config Files Per Network
Each network Mainnet, Testnet4, and Regtest — now has its own independent configuration file. Switching to test networks is easier and your preferences are always preserved.
🤯 Stronger & Smarter Coordinators
Coordinators are automatically published as onion services right out of the box: no manual Tor setup needed. Coordinators can now also run on pruned nodes in blocksonly mode.
Plus, fallback fee rate providers were implemented (mempool.space and blockstream.info), ensuring accurate fee estimates, even if your node can’t provide them.
🛠️ Refinements & Fixes
Full-RBF by default – All transactions are treated as replaceable.
Resilient HTTP communication – Smarter retry handling makes connections sturdier.
Seed recovery fixes – Annoying typing issues are resolved.
Sharper fee estimations – Precise decimal calculations with no rounding loss.
NBitcoin updated to 8.0.14 – Latest Bitcoin protocol improvements included.
Clearer terminology – “Backend” is now called “Indexer.”
Lean codebase – Legacy components like TurboSync and BlockNotifier removed.
Safer Coinjoin handling – Excluded Coins can only be changed when Coinjoin is paused.
Donation Button removed from Main Screen – The button is gone, but donations are still possible via the search bar.
Conflux by default - Better Tor configuration for improved connectivity.

Re: How do I get my funds back from this Lightning Channel - Help please
It looks like the channel funding txid (e9f06610044bdc187810ee31a0f2541cd5bce94514c29183213bc0dda53d080c) was never broadcast to the mempool or confirmed on the blockchain.
Re: What will happen if bitcoin transactions became anonymous like Monero tomorrow?
Bitcoin transactions are anonymous when you coinjoin. Wasabi Wallet & JoinMarket won Bitcointalk's coinjoin bounty - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279249.msg51275314#msg51275314
This coinjoin transaction contains 488 inputs, the second largest ever: https://mempool.space/tx/e2c053e1fd58d06bc76723f899761b63e79e9237d4b2e9ad801e530f572ef7e7
Re: Free Lunch: Testing free relay with new minimum relay fee rate
⭐ Merited by stwenhao (1)
Only when mempools are not congested. If there is regular traffic with higher fees, then transactions can be relayed for free.
...but if there isn't regular traffic with higher fees, the attacker loses money to miners.
So, you can start with 0.1 sat/vB, then keep bumping Alice -> Bob, until reaching something like 0.99 sat/vB, then start bumping Bob->Charlie incrementally, and so on. Miners using 1 sat/vB will never see that traffic at all, and nodes accepting 0.1 sat/vB will keep broadcasting it between themselves.
Again, this attack is what Rule 3 of BIP125 already protects nodes against. In order for a replacement to be accepted, it has to pay a higher fee rate (in sat/vbyte) and also a higher absolute fee than the transactions being replaced.
Re: Free Lunch: Testing free relay with new minimum relay fee rate
Yes. However, that 300 MB is reusable. Which means, that if there is 100 MB of real traffic, and 200 MB of free space, then you can first fill 200 MB with 0.1 sat/vB, and then you can bump it a little, by using full-RBF. Then, if you replace just a single transaction, and everything behind it will be invalidated, just because of changed "txid:vout", then guess what: you have yet another 200 MB to fill it again! Which means, that everything, which was sent before, was basically free, unless some miners will decide to confirm it anyway (which is not done by default).
Bumping the fee rate would cause the transaction to get mined, so it would no longer be free for the attacker.
Re: Free Lunch: Testing free relay with new minimum relay fee rate

The goal of free relay is to keep the transaction in mempool and never get included in a block. It can be used by an attacker to waste bandwidth, memory etc. for nodes in the p2p network.
Nodes limit their mempools to 300MB by default, so there's not really a large surface to attack.
Check out Wasabi's new video guide! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKwGkR3EcJY
Here's another new video guide

Then probably for indepth analysis, I just stick with OXT which gives more insight into clustering and transaction pattern
@OP I also recommend you check out OXT and BTC RPC explorer for more in-depth analysis
OXT shut down last year.
Re: Should wallets warn if you re-use addresses due to quantum computers?
Wrong. It is about security too. If you don't spend from an address, then your public key is safe behind SHA256. There is no risk to SHA256 from quantum computers as far as we know today.
Your public key will be revealed once broadcast a transaction spending your coins, which means the quantum attacker can RBF and steal your funds even though you only used your address once.
Re: Should wallets warn if you re-use addresses due to quantum computers?
There aren't any quantum resistance signatures available in Bitcoin yet, why would you warn users about a threat they can't avoid?
The reason you aren't supposed to reuse your Bitcoin address for receiving payments is because of privacy, not security.

Congratulations to Opencoordinator who broke their coinjoin size record yesterday with this 88 input transaction - https://mempool.space/tx/83a3a998be8d74688ea8d04a5020b9c255b412a61aadbd6c8ea28ef8060198a7
https://github.com/lontivero/Explora is one. It requires some extra config though.
Re: They might begin bitcoin mining death spiral fud again after this news
@Kruw. Read my message before you read the article. Agreed that this article is not fud, this is good news for miners who continue mining. However, I speculate that mainstream media will purposefully interpret this into a another season of mining death spiral fud similar to what we have witnessed before.
So why did you link an article that proves the exact opposite of the claim you are making?
There is a donation button directly inside the Wasabi Wallet app. This prefills the silent payment (BIP352) address for the developers.
I donated 100k sats to Zeus Wallet some time ago which got me listed in their contributors section. Zeus has some awesome merchandise you can buy as well.
Phoenix Wallet charges a fee of 0.4% + 4 sats for each Lightning payment.

You shouldn't be using mixer sites, they gain complete access to your funds and your transaction history. Coinjoin enabled wallets like Wasabi allow you to create anonymous on chain transactions without giving anyone else the chance to steal your BTC.
