Electrum Plugin about walletwasabi HOT 7 OPEN

@kristapsk regarding joinmarket, I had a look at their Electrum plugin, in order to see if we could revive it. One issue is that it requires twisted, which is very large, and is not pure python. Any dependency shipped in a plugin zip file must be pure python. So I guess the question is, can the client be rewritten without twisted?

Yes, JM is built around Twisted. Guess it could be rewritten by reusing parts of current code, but seems a lot of work. Alternative would be for people to run JM wallet daemon as a process and then Electrum plugin would use wallet RPC API to talk to it. That's how Jam works. But that would add extra steps for the user to make it work.

I think it requires either re-implementation of WabiSabi client in Python or to somehow add Python bindings to existing code.

Since Electrum does not enforce using a full node or Tor, how would we ensure that these exposed users do not weaken the overall anonymity of the coinjoin?

You're right but we should acknowledge that on-chain links are 100x more damaging and permanent than address lookup clustering.

A pre-requisite for spending time of this should be to help electrum implement a better server selection tool.

They should at least have a way to pre-set a handful of trusted fallback servers for people not running their own fulcrum servers.

This is awesome, thanks for the contribution! 🖤

@turbolay You told me some time ago your Python skills are rusting, maybe re-implementing WabiSabi in Python is the project worth effort? But need to think is there other use cases for that apart from Electrum. One idea I have is maybe combining JoinMarket with WabiSabi in a single wallet.

If you enjoy your sanity, I'd suggest no 🙃

WabiSabi SDK with python bindings fixes this.
