Oddbean new post about login | logout 🚨 #WasabiWallet backend servers are currently down. We've run out of funds sooner than anticipated. We're working on fixing the issue ASAP, but it may take some time. Thanks for your patience!
is there backup ? so user can use MAINNET to send out funds ?
We are setting up a new one but it seems members of the community are setting up their own too, that means that soon there will be more than one backend server. You can move your funds without needing the backend but after that your wallet state (wallet utxoset) will be out of sync until you connect to some wasabi backend again.
Wasabi still runs backend servers since the ZKSNACKS coordinator shut down?
Yes. We were working on reducing the hardware requiriments for running a backend in order to allow others to run backend instances at low cost but the time was not enough. zkSNACKs paid for the servers for about two months and that time is over.
Oh, I assumed coordinators served blocks to clients. This makes more sense.
There are two APIs: * Coordinator: the API for coordinating coinjoins and collaborative transactions and * Backend: the API for providing filters, fee estimations, exchage rates, etc. The coordinator API is run by random volunteers while the backend was run by zkSNACKs until a few hours ago. Soon, we won't run any infrastruture and we hope multiple friends/freedom fighter help us by hosting a backend API.
Could I run my own backend, such as an Electrum server, similar to BlueWallet and SparrowWallet?
