Alongside this, UnstoppableSwap announced a rebrand to eigenwallet with its new GUI v3.0.0-beta. The multi-currency wallet, which now supports both Monero (XMR) and Bitcoin (BTC), expands features such as atomic swaps, Tor integration for privacy, cross-platform compatibility, and the development of a proposed layer-2 solution called “grease.” Full details can be found at eigenwallet.org.
The latest Cake Wallet and Monero.com version 5.1.2 added a new CakePay mobile design and a feature similar to “sweep_all,” enabling users to exchange their entire Monero balance for other cryptocurrencies. Instructions to join the beta are available in their forum group.
Mining enthusiasts received updates as well. The site secondcreek.ca launched a new mining profitability calculator. Community members tested and reviewed the tool, which helps Monero and Tari miners evaluate mining returns. In addition, GitHub user mtoni2 published a GUI tool called P2PMinerGUI, designed for mining with P2Pool, and P2Pool’s version 4.9 now offers reproducible release binaries.
New research in privacy was shared on “Scaling privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies with toxic decoys.” According to the paper, “…the storage space can be reduced by approximately 60% while maintaining the same degree of privacy.” Details are available in the article and paper.
