Thanks for the heads up and appreciate the input! I discovered this after getting the video done unfortunately. It would be good if there was a notification telling you that your intended connection was unsuccessful - or if hovering over the check in the bottom right told you what you were connected to currently.
Hi Ben, awesome video as always. I have to note though, the part about connecting to StartOS is not correct. Wasabi does not use electrum (electrs) nor the Bitcoin Core RPC API (port 8332). You can connect to a Bitcoin Core P2P port (8333) to speed up filter downloads. (which is not supported yet on StartOS 0.3.5).
The architecture of Wasabi is quiet different than for example Sparrow. Read more here: https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/using-wasabi/BitcoinFullNode.html

Yeah agreed. AFAIK Wasabi developers are hard at work refactoring a lot of internal code to not rely on their central server for filters, an UI upgrade, better fee estimation and coordinator discovery. I suppose this won't be too high on the priority list 😉
