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.
The hosts review AI slop examples: fake AI ads for a non-existent Buckingham Palace Christmas market misleading tourists, AI-generated cooking recipes harming food blogger traffic, and Whirlpool using a deepfaked politician's voice in a Brazilian ad that won and later forfeited Cannes Lions awards.
Whirlpool.observer v1.0.1, a self-hostable blockchain reader by Vibrant BTC, launched to monitor Whirlpool activity, showing 89.25 BTC in the post-mixed pool and linking TXIDs to am.i.exposed for visualization.
