Introducing Lark.

Lark is a Java port of HWI, a library used by many wallets to communicate over USB with with hardware wallets like @COLDCARD , Ledger, Trezor, @BitBox and @Blockstream Jade.

HWI is a good example of the ‘single dependency’ situation in the famous xkcd comic. Until now, there has been no project like it.

However, with all the wealth stored on hardware wallets (especially those that can only communicate over USB) it's important to have multiple implementations. Lark represents the first complete reimplementation of all common USB HWW clients in a language other than Python.

Even though HWW manufacturers have used a dizzying array of different communication protocols and standards, Lark seeks to be identical to the HWI API, providing direct interchangeability and a more robust ecosystem.

All common commands are supported, and there is some additional functionality,

Correct. I haven’t yet heard of a good reason to expose them that would justify the additional risk.

Sparrow v1.8.4 has been released to fix a build issue affecting Sparrow Terminal. The normal desktop app is unaffected.

That said, for those who already upgraded to v1.8.3, it's a good opportunity to test the Download Verifier :)

1. Check out the most recent Sparrow release. 2. SeedSigner is providing very minimal, arguably incomplete PSBTs so without another PSBT to combine with (as would be the case with that function) Sparrow doesn’t have enough information to load them on their own.

Fwiw I don’t think any dependencies are required for BC UR if you limit the scope of data types. Not even CBOR is required if you just transmit txs and psbts.

Would like to see a clearer, technical explanation of why it’s so problematic to implement.

Try turning off Prevent Computer Sleep in the Tools menu. There are other applications you can use to achieve this functionality, or better yet run Sparrow Terminal for background mixing without the need to keep your desktop awake.

Dojo is unrelated to the Whirlpool coordinator - it’s the server app/protocol that Samourai uses to load wallets.

Every relay in the onion routing could pay the next one, similar to how lightning itself works (without source based routing)

An alternative to Tor that has users stream sats to pay relays seems like an obvious next step in network level privacy tools. Streaming sats would greatly increase the costs of the DDOS-style attacks that affect Tor so much, and provide an incentive for relay operators.

Yep, it’s not too far off now, but unsure if it will see much adoption tbh. The need to do two rounds with each signer is a major downside, particularly if they are geographically remote.

Nah, I suspect he derived personal significance and value from doing the work. Clearly (IMO) he valued that too highly, but I do understand it - when your work has such broad impact on the world, it’s hard to keep perspective with other more mundane matters in life.
