Wasabi Wallet Releases Version 2.0.3 With Updates
Hungarian-based Wasabi Wallet has released version 2.0.3, which includes an update bringing back Coin Control for optional insight and control of the wallet’s Smart Coin Selection Algorithm via Coin Control for sending transactions.
Coin Control
Coin control, explained by Nopara, inventor of Wasabi, has become an industry standard expectation for privacy-conscious Bitcoin users but its usage in Wasabi Wallet 1.0 demonstrated that it often caused more harm than good according to the press release so version 2.0 gives users the option between the smart coin selection algorithm and optional coin control; advanced users can hold down the Alt key to inspect and modify features accordingly .
Upgrades & Bug Fixes
In addition to the update, Wasabi Wallet 2.0 also includes an upgrade to Tor 0.4.7 as well as various bug fixes that offer improved stability for MacOS M1 users making it easier for them to use their wallets without any issues or disruptions in performance or security .
Privacy As A Focus
The release continues to focus on privacy as a stated core tenant of Wasabi’s development despite past hiccups in preventing certain unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) from joining its CoinJoin rounds .
Conclusion
Max Hillebrand noted that if we want privacy to become the default for Bitcoin transactions then we must do everything we can reduce fee costs falling on users for using privacy preserving technology – this latest update does just that making sure that everyone who uses it is provided with maximum security at all times .
