Ginger Wallet has never intended, nor does it currently intend, to tarnish the reputation of Wasabi Wallet, and this will remain the case in the future. Beyond the technical aspects, we have no influence over the article in question.

I must agree that every project is free to do as it wishes. However, I find it contradictory and puzzling that @Turbolay , on the one hand, integrates code from Ginger into Wasabi, and on the other hand, labels us as adversaries and removes us from Liquisabi.

Wasn't the vulnerability responsibly disclosed with enough notice? This is what allowed the bugfix to already be 2 versions deep by the time the journalists published their pieces. I didn't compare all the pieces closely, but the main problem with the writing is that it describes the issue as a protocol vulnerability rather than a client bug. This doesn't specifically make Wasabi look worse compared to other clients who inherited the same bug.

Anyways, as you mentioned, Liquisabi is a personal project so it's entirely up to the decision of its maintainer.

You are sure the confirmed tx is to the right address? Is the address still displayed at Receive -> Addresses awaiting payment?

Or did you send to an already used address and amount of 5k sats or lower?

Where did you download Wasabi from?

The problem is that there is no such address in the address bar, but when transferring money, this address popped up automatically.

Doing that discussion here ain't the right place.
Anyway, I can only speak for myself, contacting "journalists" before disclosing the vulnerability (which wasn't exploited afawk) to have them write write such (jump scare) articles ain't normal procedure for vuln disclosure.

Sure the vulnerability was serious and kudos to drkgry for finding it, but such a marketing tactic to put Wasabi in bad daylight, for your potential financial gain doesn't show you want good for Wasabi's "ecosystem".

That having said, anyone can do whatever they want with their own projects, like Liquisabi. I don't see a point to whine about that.

I will look into it today, sorry for the incovenience

Does this issue prevents you from using the software or does it simply happens from time to time?

Has this been fixed in the new version of Wasabi Wallet?

(Although the authors of each article know the difference between "Wasabi" and "WabiSabi", I still hate the confusing naming of both because of situations exactly like this)

Also, I'd like to clarify for people who don't understand and are worried, that there is no evidence that a malicious coordinator exploited this. And imo, the headlines from these "journalists" are engagement farming.

2 different articles. One from BM and the other from TheRage.

Uppercase letters for QR codes is the standard. The wallets who are unable to recognize addresses formatted in uppercase are the ones who need to update, unfortunately.

Brother, I have a small suggestion. The address of the wasa wallet is all uppercase letters when scanned, which makes some wallets unable to recognize it. Can it be changed to lowercase letters?

Wasabi Wallet

11 Dec 2024 11:57

Yes, I have been using it for 5 hours today. All the previous ones were good, but I can't see this coin recently.

Is your wallet synchronized?

Help me, something went wrong. My BitCoin was transferred to the Wasabi wallet, but I didn't receive it. There are already 2 confirmations

Hi @Turbolay , I just came across this, and to be honest, it didn’t feel good. Why do you think of us as enemies? The code you now regularly adopt from Ginger Wallet into Wasabi Wallet doesn’t really suggest that we’re enemies, does it? Moreover, when we discovered the issue, we immediately informed you about it—at that point, we didn’t seem like enemies either, did we?

No, not clear what the cause is/we can't repro

To be honest, since there was exactly one implementation of the "protocol" for long time, it's easy to say that the protocol was vulnerable. From my point of view if a protocol "can be fixed" by extra checks, that's rather an implementation issue. However I was never good in these politics.

That's one thing. 2nd, after the mentioned issue, there was a fix. But later on the road the hashcheck was removed accidentally.

Well this article is a "bit" misleading in the second half. Sometimes it's worth checking things a bit further before writing it down.
