Reviews for Samourai Wallet

  • Luke Dashjr on Samourai Wallet Bitcoin Core Developer

    Samourai likes to advertise features that they don't actually have, and add "features" that don't do what they claim.

    Their reaction to me calling them out, has so far been to troll me. I think others calling them out have received the same treatment.

    For example, they used to just trust http://blockchain.info for everything, yet claimed their wallet was the best privacy (lol).

    More recently, they added a "trusted node" feature that doesn't actually use the node for such purposes, instead continuing to trust their server.

    Samourai has been lying to users about supporting trusted node security when they actually don't. Regardless of who you want to blame for the status quo of trusted node functionality, the reality is they are the ones trying to pass their product off as doing something it doesn't.

    Samourai Wallet is the best Bitcoin wallet for Android by far. Highly recommend.

    iPhone version should be released shortly.

  • Marty Bent on Samourai Wallet Editor in Chief at Marty's Bent

    With the launch of mobile mixing Samourai Wallet saw liquidity increase by 28% in 3 days.

    UX FTW.

    I expect this trend to continue.

  • Riccardo Spagni on Samourai Wallet Lead Maintainer at Monero

    Making a direct comparison [between Samourai's Whirlpool and Monero's ring signatures] is hard. I think Monero’s chief advantages there are that ring sigs don’t require interactivity or a liquidity pool, and amounts are hidden so that creates more uniformity. Whirlpool is the best you’re going to get within Bitcoin’s limitations.

    Also, in terms of linkability to previous outputs, both ring sigs and Whirlpool won’t give you perfect privacy since the link is visible in the set. But they do give you incredibly strong plausible deniability, and that should be sufficient for most.

    I will encourage people to use both Wasabi and Samurai, and any other privacy focused wallet, no matter what each dev says.

    Discouraged people will use a custodial wallet, which is objectively worse. Stop the petty infighting and recognize the bigger picture.
