We are proud to announce that Wasabi Wallet v2.7.0 is our first release fully distributed through Nostr.

Instead of relying on GitHub or DNS, clients now receive update notifications directly from notes published by Wasabi’s Nostr public key. This ensures that even in the event of infrastructure outages or black swan scenarios, we can deliver emergency fixes seamlessly.

For users, the update process remains unchanged: smooth, secure, and reliable.

For the project, this marks an important step toward resilience: guaranteeing that users will always be able to securely access their funds with Wasabi, without sacrificing privacy by restoring seeds on less private wallets.

Of course, we also want to thank relay operators for making it possible to implement features like this.

Wow. Software updates deployed via Nostr.

@WasabiWallet and the Nostr network are serving bitcoin in new innovative and decentralized ways.

Thank you.

Awesome!

LFG

Bad ass!!

This is good stuff.

Encouraging to see solutions to the centralisation risk of the management & distribution of FOSS & freedom-tech emerging on the freedom-tech stack itself

These things have long been freedom-tech's soft underbelly ...

exciting times

No están en zapstore?

Nostr as notification infra! That's cool 😎

brilliant!

Amazing, how do we utilize the nostr functionality? Is it imbeded in the new version?

We release Wasabi and as part of the process we publish a note under this public key npub129hpcwy3h7uhpzwzts6utkt2p5st7lf4qpzp3d2j0p6z56lvkpgspngzeq, which means that those who follow that account will see that there is a new version available with all the links to download the packages and verify them.

The Wasabi client also subscribes to that nostr npub and listens for updates. In case a newer version is published, the Wasabi client will use the links in the nostr note to download the appropriate package, verify its authenticity, and let you know that the package was downloaded and is available for you to install. So, Wasabi users don't need to do anything.

But what if something bad happens? Imagine GitHub doesn't allow us to host the releases on their platform or takes down the repository or something similar - how is this feature useful? In a case like that, we can host the packages somewhere else and update the links, or we can even publish more URIs to IPFS, Torrent, or whatever. Of course, the Wasabi client only understands HTTP, but more advanced users might prefer to download Wasabi using something different.

This is brilliant. The #GitViaNostr dev community are clearly failing to provide the right developer tools if nostr:nprofile1qqsfuv8fgq3cek0ta0rr9qtkm4x3pxqjz22y9u4xcwrj0lrxlfl2jzsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hs25c7t0 had to roll his own.

thanks for all the work, i used wasabi myself

but its quite some time ago now

i cant stack much more

and for small amounts i would use lightning

and onchain swaps or ecash mints

Very Kool ! Greatest is the recognition for Relay operator !!!

Wow!
