Have you or do you have the ablility to review the ashigaru code?
The code is public and is a legit samourai fork (that I verified). i haven't looked at the code myself nor tried to reproduce the build, but I know that others (that I sort of trust) did it. I still created a new fresh wallet and will try with small amounts.
Where are whirlpools running?
No whirlpool yet but a man can dream
Is their onion site working? Tried on desktop and can'y connect (Orbot hasn't been working on my phone)
It's working for me without issue using the Tor browser both on the phone and desktop http://ashigaruprvm4u263aoj6wxnipc4jrhb2avjll4nnk255jkdmj2obqqd.onion/
This. I'm hesitant to go near that stack again until I sufficiently review the code. Samourai wasn't reproducible to build. Lots of holes in that stack IIRC
Is the code primarily C ?
Java IIRC. That's what Sparrow is, so it could reuse the samourai code.
