This is great, but remember Roman Sterlingov didn't build the tool; he was a user of Bitcoin Fog!

Does it use a local LLM?

They were relayed through regular nodes running libre relay.
I myself had one running and saw many transactions > 80 bytes in my logs.
Made several posts about it with txids so anyone could verify.

They were NOT submitted to miners.

Fulcrum 2.0 has been released!
I synced a new DB from scratch, here's my experience:
It took about 2.5 days to sync the new Fulcrum on a laptop (Ryzen 7 5700U, db_mem 8000 GiB).
The v2 DB is a little larger than v1: 176 GiB against 166 GiB.
To test performance, I repeteadly queried a large BTC address (1HckjUpRGcrrRAtFaaCAUaGjsPx9oYmLaZ) for balance and history and got these results:
v1 get_balance: [335, 416] range, avg 378 ms;
v2 get_balance: [348, 355] range, avg 352 ms;
v1 get_history: [32676, 33723] range, avg 33214 ms;
v2 get_history: [23208, 23947] range, avg 23508 ms;
Hopefully someone will come up with better benchmarks, it was a real PITA to measure time due to netcat/socat keeping the connection alive.
Now, the best part:
I left a script running all day, killing -9 Fulcrum and restarting it for a total of 95 kills. The DB was not corrupted.

Why not accept the coordinator's fee, as long as it's <= 5%?

Yeah, sure, you don't really need a mempool... but Bitcoin Core also has that option, called `-blocksonly`.
Maybe he means libbitcoin does not require an UTXO set. I remember Eric has stated that a bunch of times.

How come? You need a mempool to estimate fees.

2025-05-04 15:55:24 CEST

Yes.
1- Scammer sees you selling;
2- Finds a buyer (victim);
3- Tells victim to send you fiat;
4- You see the payment, send coins to scammer;
5- You and the scammer are happy, the victim isn't and will call the bank, go after you etc;
Step 2 can be unrelated to Bitcoin (ex: scammer could pretend to be selling a phone).

The problem is when you stumble upon some piece of sh*t performing MITM scams. One bad trade ruins dozens or hundreds of good trades.
I made like 10 trades and then met the scammer. Bank charged back the money from my account. I filed a lawsuit, won, but had the bank account terminated and was banned from some services affiliated with that bank.
For Lightning or Monero swapping, gift cards etc, it's great. But without a reputation system, it's too risky to interact with the fiat system.

> Knots quickly fixed this in its 25.1 release
1- Knots did not fix anything. Everybody running Knots is storing all the data exactly as the people running Core or other implementations.
2- Even if every single node runner were running Knots, if ONE miner decides to take those transactions, the data would still be there.
3- Even if all miners ran Knots, the inscription pattern (called envelope) can trivially be adapted to bypass that filter.

Sir, as pointed by Pavel, whirlpool-client is a dependency of the android app:

Yes, but without Whirlpool, at least for the moment.

No, both the binaries and the sources are available here (append the file name to the URL): https://jitpack.io/io/samourai/code/whirlpool/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-core/007/
It was a relief knowing it was uploaded before the arrest!
It's not ideal, but JitPack is a very popular Maven repository, like google and mavencentral.

I've finished comparing the released Ashigaru code with
Samourai Wallet.
I did this for my own, personal usage, but it might serve others. Feel free to add your remarks/questions, DYOR and/or wait for more reviews.
TL;DR: I found nothing wrong and plan to use it soon.
https://m.primal.net/LFoi.png
I ran a diff between this release and TDevD's commit from Apr 24th. I didn't check the code between the latest SW release and that date since I already trusted SW.
Ashigaru devs (AD) published release notes [1] and there are also the commit messages from SW commit radar [2].
SW had a fork of bitcoinj. I never had it cloned and it's possible the repository is lost :(
The library and source code are downloaded from JitPack. According to their logs [3], it was built in Mar 20th.
Unless AD are wicked and in cahoots with JitPack, it should be safe to me.
=====
From ExtLibJ, which is used for Stonewall, Soroban, BIP47 etc, there are no changes, except for backend URLs.
Comparison was made with noosphere888's repository [4].
=====
Ok, so now on to the actual review.
New features: the wallet pings an onion URL to see if there's a new version, maybe because there's no Play store and they have no social media.
Also there's a new wallet sync view.
Tor and own Dojo are now mandatory.
https://m.primal.net/LFoo.png
https://m.primal.net/LFon.png
https://m.primal.net/LFop.png
https://m.primal.net/LFor.png
OXT explorer was removed. Apparently one is available only if the Dojo instance has one.
Soroban (without Joinbot) and Ricochet are back. So is PayNym, under a new directory. The connect fee has been waived.
Whirlpool removed from the GUI and also options to call SW's support.
https://m.primal.net/LFos.png
About the new directory, I would like to file a complaint against the CEO. What the hell was that 😭😭😭🗣️🗣️🗣️
https://m.primal.net/LFov.png
To finish the review, there were many changes due to rebranding, changing URLs, colours and addresses.
=====
The build is reproducible as per the instructions. I used unzip instead of apktool because it's faster and was already installed.
https://m.primal.net/LFow.png
That's it, congratulations and good luck to Ashigaru devs. Now, take some time to visit http://freesamourai.com [5].
