I think the web stuff too difficult with self custody.

Don’t feel like you need to withdraw every time you buy coins. Try and keep the utxos a decent size. And go ahead and consolidate your utxos anytime fees get low.

Once you feel ready to take the next step in your bitcoin career just buy a coldcard and play with it. Learn how it works and see what you prefer. Coldcard allows so many more options. Really good for the pro users.

I played a bit with it. Fees were wild, interest rate was 15%. I don’t think I would use it. Would rather hold Cbbtc on base or something and borrow with aave. Would feel more secure and probably get a much better interest rate.

We've completely redesign our network isolation code.

When Wasabi Wallet development began, .NET lacked native support for routing HTTP traffic through Tor, despite having an excellent HttpClient. There was no built-in SOCKS proxy support, so Wasabi's creator implemented the SOCKS protocol to interact with Tor's SOCKS proxy and developed a custom HTTP/1.1 implementation from scratch. This allowed us to maintain network-level privacy by isolating identities behind different types of requests.

However, as time passed, our custom HTTP implementation started showing its limitations. It lacked support for redirects, so we had to build that feature in. When response compression became necessary, we had to add support for a couple of compression algorithms. Additionally, our coordinator announcer uses the Nostr protocol, which is based on WebSocket, meaning we would have had to implement the WebSocket protocol ourselves, too.

It became clear that we needed better building blocks. Continuing to implement low-level network protocols ourselves wasn't sustainable. For example, making a request to an HTTP/2 server would have required extensive work.

The good news is that with .NET 6, proxying HTTP traffic through a SOCKS proxy is now natively supported. This means we can replace all of our custom code with a higher-quality, more performant, efficient, and less memory-hungry HttpClient. This significantly reduces the complexity and volume of our code, improving both maintenance and performance.

Excited to see how it develops.

It appears that coinbase users in Canada can now use lightning. I didn’t see any announcement but it’s there and working. #bitcoin

Kycnot.me. It lists a few exchanges that swap lightning for XMR. Thats the way to go in my opinion.

As the other guy said. It is very user friendly. You can download from their website and start using immediately. To actually begin coinjoining you just need to pick a community coordinator. There’s a few on this list. Just pick one with some liquidity. https://wabisator.com/

If you are not coinjoining a portion of your stack, get started. It gives you privacy and teaches you privacy. I find Wasabi Wallet with a community coordinator is a great tool for beginners. Joinmarket also great for those of you running a node. There is a mining cost to coin joining, but you gain privacy and support the network security. Fees are low right now and it is a great time to start. Don’t be stuck learning when fees shoot up again. #bitcoin

Mentally prepare yourself for 25k. It might come if things get bad. That will be when generational wealth is made. Stay liquid, don’t own more bitcoin than you can handle. Don’t panic sell the bottom, buy the bottom. #bitcoin

More anonymous than sending with lightning. Allows other ecash wallets to be used with the service.
