Release Notes

  • This Beta Release is stable.
  • We plan the 1.0 Release for October 31.
  • In the Beta Release you must build Wasabi from source code. You will not have to do it from the 1.0 Release.
  • OSX is not supported in the Beta Release. While Wasabi already works on OSX, we deemed our OSX GUI to be unstable, therefore not recommended. OSX users will be able to use a stable Wasabi from the 1.0 Release. You can follow our OSX stabilization work here: AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#1789
  • In the Beta Release a mixing round is triggered in every 24h or every time when 100 mixing participants reached. The difference of the 1.0 Release is that, a mixing round will be triggered in every 7 days.
  • The mixing round denomination of the Beta Release will be 0.01 BTC at first and we will gradually increase it to 0.1 BTC until the 1.0 Release. At which point we will keep it there. We decided to do this based on your feedbacks.
  • Read more about the software: Wasabi: Privacy Focused Bitcoin Wallet for Desktop
  • Get familiar with the trustless ZeroLink protocol, that Wasabi implements: https://github.com/nopara73/ZeroLink/
  • To get familiar with the history of Wasabi, watch nopara73's presentation on the Building on Bitcoin conference.

QuickStart

1. How To Setup Wasabi?

  1. Get Git: https://git-scm.com/downloads
  2. Get .NET Core 2.1 SDK: https://www.microsoft.com/net/download (Note, you can disable .NET's telemetry by typing export DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1 on Linux and OSX or set DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1 on Windows.)
  3. Get Tor:
    [Windows] Install the Tor Expert Bundle: https://www.torproject.org/download/
    [Linux] apt-get install tor
  4. Check Tor version: tor --version. If it's not at least 0.3.2.2, then see this writeup on how to update it.
  5. Get Wasabi:
git clone https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi.git --recursive
cd WalletWasabi/WalletWasabi.Gui
dotnet build

2. How To Run Wasabi?

  1. Run Tor:
    [Windows] Run tor.exe.
    [Linux] Type tor in terminal. (If it fails, that may mean, it's been started automatically.)
