Introduction

Samourai Wallet is no longer in development but this guide remains for users that still have the wallet and need access

Simply put, we believe Samourai Wallet to be the best bitcoin wallet and is the reason why the RoninDojo was born.

Samourai Wallet is feature rich, and focuses every effort on providing users with the ability to manage their bitcoin spending and receiving in the most private manner. The tools within, when combined together, make for an unrivalled privacy preserving bitcoin wallet. Features include: BIP47 / PayNyms, Like-Type Change, UTXO labelling, Whirlpool Coinjoin, Account Segregation, Peer to Peer Coinjoin Spends, Legacy / Segwit Compatibility / Native Segwit Support, Do Not Spend UTXO Marking.

Dare you to name another bitcoin wallet which has all of those!
