Whirlpool mixes on Ashigaru Desktop operate in 0.025 BTC and 0.25 BTC pools. Change that falls below these minimums goes to the bad bank, which cannot be mixed.
Max Tannahill explains that the federal seizure of Samurai Wallet's centralized servers two and a half years ago instantly shut down Dojo, Whirlpool, and OXT. This left many non-node-running users unable to view balances or transact.
Ashigaru version 1.1.2, a release from Jordan, offers quality of life enhancements such as live connection status for TOR and Electrum, one-click connect/disconnect, faster startup, and improved server history and Whirlpool coordinator warning displays.
Luttovo noted that blockchain data showed Wasabi's CoinJoin usage consistently outperforming Samourai's Whirlpool, suggesting Samourai's negative tactics against Nopara were driven by significant profit motives.
Wasabi Wallet's Ashikaru 1.1 release added Whirlpool stats via Tor, tx0 broadcast overlay warnings, Dojo Electrum server discovery, configurable am I exposed privacy checks, and card-based UTXO views.
Jordan (Linkopart) and Claude developed Ashigaru Desktop, a graphical user interface for the Ashigaru terminal that simplifies Whirlpool CoinJoin, external wallet mixing, BIP 329 label management, and BIP 47 message verification.
Future plans for Ashigaru Desktop include Aigen Wallet integration for atomic swaps of unmixed Whirlpool change outputs to Monero, 'am I exposed' UTXO privacy analysis, and Dojo Bay/Dojo integrations for enhanced server connectivity.
