Okay, that's simply wrong because you are revealing all you wallet. But that's not all because having only one UTXO results in a pilling chain of txs that makes trivial to track you.
Consolidation is almost always wrong and there are almost never a decent justification to do that. I would only do it if for some reason I need to lose all chances of privacy.
The only way to consolidate privately is in a coinjoin, but even that is rather stupid.

What do you mean with "consolidating via Wabisabi"?
Paying in coinjoin using a standard denomination is indistinguishable from a normal coinjoin.

Thanks for investing time and effort in this. We will follow up with mitigation actions soon.
Given that this is an attack that could, at least in theory, be carried out by a coordinator, it would have been preferable to report this privately to the developer rather than to a coordinator operator (a possible attacker)
Anyway, I was planning to introduce changes in the protocol very soon so I add this to the list.

The Tor team has lost their sense of responsibility. Breaking the compatibility of the entire software ecosystem that preserves user privacy just to make their developers' lives easier is insane.
There are hundreds, or thousands, of affected projects, many of which require extensive bootstrap times and somehow need to force all their users to update their software versions.
Tor is not just any software—it's a critical infrastructure component for the entire world—and yet they announced just a couple of days ago that in two months all clients prior to version 0.4.8 will stop working. It's madness.

Sure, there are 41579595052351490 interpretations for that small coinjoin transactions but there are 67% probably of linkeability?! It's a joke.
Also, is it me or the tool does contemplate the probability of consolidation?
Look, I like the tool but it is useless for analyzing Wasabi transactions, but instead of saying "there is no way to analyze this thing", they prefer to lie. That's the same that Samourais did for years.
That graph, that linkeability probability matrix are simply fake and it is very easy to verify what I say: take a coinjoin transactions in which you participated and see if any of those links match teality.

2026-06-15 21:50:23 UTC

- reply

That graph creates the illusion of linkability because there are two trillion missing lines.
I checked one of my coinjoin transactions and none of the links reported was real.

IMO it's because you need to scan the blockchain to detect the payments.

It seems you are confusing this wallet with a different one. Ginger is not a mobile wallet but a desktop-only one and it didn't accumulate metadata because it is/was a fork of Wasabi Wallet, and that means that the client software does a good job protecting users' privacy.

GingerWallet is dead. The centralized, chain-analyzed, non-fully open source corporate version of Wasabi Wallet has disappeared from Github and is no longer doing coinjoins. No official announcement, no communication, nothing—they simply removed the repository, stopped responding on Telegram, and unpublished software installers so they cannot be downloaded.
Even though the GingerWallet server continues to be operational, which allows users to use the wallet without noticing any issues (except for coinjoining), it is reasonable to think that won't last too long. Therefore, GingerWallet users should consider moving to Wasabi Wallet.

Who knows the name of the Russian air force? What's the name of the British bombs? Does anyone know the name of any Japanese officials?
Most people think the Nazi uniforms looked awesome, but does anyone think the American uniforms were anything less than ugly?
This is the problem with propaganda: you have to make your enemy seem greater.

How to create Wasabi coinjoins? Simply use Wasabi Wallet.

2026-01-02 12:36:13 UTC

n Argentina, buying US dollars was a crime, but keeping your Argentinian pesos was suicidal -because of the huge inflation. For that reason, everybody had to buy US dollars in the black market.
Think about the implications: you received your salary in pesos and ran to buy US dollars; that means everybody escaped from the white money/white economy to the black money/black economy.
All Argentinian savings are out of the government's radar in US dollars bought outside the system. That means the savings are safe, but it is difficult to buy anything without having to create or use fraudulent mechanisms that in any normal country would be used only by criminals. However, in Argentina, we all have savings outside the system, and then we all have to master those concepts.
Basically, the previous Argentinian governments pushed all Argentinians to act as criminals.
Now, the goverment wants Argentinians to invest their savings but that's not possible! Nobody can go to a bank with a bag full of US dollars bills. How did we get here? One immorality at a time.

If the xpubs collecting mafia were honest they would at least add a warning sign/text saying something like "By connecting to this server you accept that the maintainer can see all your finantial activity and your balance forever. Are you okay with that?"

The Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church assigns the State a subsidiary role to serve the Common Good by promoting human dignity, protecting rights, ensuring justice, and fostering social harmony. However, the State, at least in its current form, is not Catholic but rather the most militant secularist and anti-Christian entity, which tries to replace God, replace the Church, and create a new religion that replaces all Christian virtues with their opposite vices.
