For anybody with experience using both, any preference between Sparrow Wallet’s Whirlpool vs Wasabi Wallet? #asknostr #bitcoin #privacy
Discussion
I've never seen an apples to apples comparison between Samourai and Wasabi's coinjoin implementations that was not tainted with bias or emotions.
I hope you are able to get a good answer to your question, I'd love to know more about this myself.
I've not used wasabi but people I respect tell me to avoid it like the plague.
Don't trust, verify ;)
I don’t think nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx has anything to gain when he has shifted from recommending wasabi to whirlpool. Not sure if his mind has changed with wasabi 2.0?
I think the key difference is cost, which can be split up into time, complexity, and mining fees.
On all three of these, even Wasabi 1.0 (released in October 2018) is better than the currently deployed whirlpool scheme.
Wasabi 1.1 made a significant improvement on all three (multi denomination batching), and Wasabi 2.0 impvoved all by another factor of 10x (arbitrary amount coinjoin).
Nowadays, Wasabi 2.0.4 is so mind blowingly fast, easy to use, and cheap, that it is a joke to compare it to whirlpool.

Any thoughts on this? If true, could it be implemented into sparrow?
