THIS IS ALL "MUH XPUB" BULLSHIT

THE FIRST STEPS IN THE WALLET IS TO CONNECT OVER TOR AND TO YOUR OWN NODE

ALL WALLETS CONNECT TO A NODE, THIS IS NOT UNIQUE TO SAMOURAI

IT IS DEVELOPED TO BE ABLE TO RUN ON LOW BANDWIDTH EDGE NETWORKS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

SPEND A LITTLE TIME ASKING GENUINE QUESTIONS IN THEIR TELEGRAM CHAT, NOT JUST CALLING THEM SCAMMERS AND THEY WILL EXPLAIN IT TO YOU

TO REPRODUCE A WALLET YOU NEED TO HAVE THE SAME ENVIRONMENT TO DO IT IN

NOT EVER LISTENING TO THE ANSWERS AND SIMPLY REPEATING THE SAME OLD TIRED TROPES WILL GET YOU NOWHERE

What about the source code, which seems to be the main criticism of wallet scrutiny?

Also you need to get your caps lock key checked.

For walletscrutiny.com the main concern is the reproducibility. They do share source code but the app on Google Play is compiled from something else.

When you build from source you are building directly from the source code that you see. If you're worried that they are using different code for Google play then build from source code. End of discussion.

I won't use that shit, compiled from source or not but I **do** help others to avoid it, too, so no, compiling it is not end of discussion but I see who I'm talking to now. Same arguments all the time, with every of your mud slinging attacks.

Mud slinging?

You guys always have the same critiques but can never incorporate the answers. In one ear and out the other. It never stops.

DO CAPS HURT YOUR FEELS?

The above is the same same as it always goes. Attack the messenger. Bamboozle the noobs with your tech blabla to imply a smart person would understand you (of course not that noob follower of yours), so if the other side doesn't "get it", it's on them.

Yeah, xpub. If you connect to your own node but still use the Samourai coordinator and send it your xpub over TOR, you still negate all mixing if Samourai is evil, which they are.

"In their telegram" is not where I would engage. In fact they kick me when I do and I have no receipt of their rudeness and scamming. Come out of your hiding place and discuss in the open. Same with their GitHub ... they moved to their own GitLab where I can't even create an account. Or well, I can but they delete it. But others asked for more security and transparency here for example: https://code.samourai.io/wallet/samourai-wallet-android/-/issues/440 and neither got a reply in two years.

And yes, to reproduce you need the same environment but they would not care to document and the diff can tell you it's not only about the environment. They don't tag their releases and don't always publish the code with the binary. They don't want to be verified and they definitely do not share the code that goes into most of their releases. Of some 15 versions I tested, only one was reproducible. All the others could be collecting private keys for all I know.

What attack? My tech blabla? LMFAO Xpubs, tor and a node is not advanced. Aren't you the one tech blabla about reproducing a wallet? You guys never want to listen. All replies go in one ear and out the other.

So you do know you need to be in the same environment? Funny how you left that out initially. Why would they bother telling you anything if you are so against their work? They owe you nothing. Who are you to demand anything from them? Use it or don't bro. They moved to their own gitlab to prevent their code from being take down. You confuse the xpub without your own node and how the whirlpool coordinator works. The coordinator is now decentralized anyway.

"This isn't unique to Samourai"

Zeus, Blixt, Breez, Wasabi, etc don't collect the data of their users because they implement BIP157/BIP158 block filters. Samourai has no excuse for collecting the complete financial history of their users.
