I've finished comparing the released Ashigaru code with @SamouraiWallet.

I did this for my own, personal usage, but it might serve others. Feel free to add your remarks/questions, DYOR and/or wait for more reviews.

TL;DR: I found nothing wrong and plan to use it soon. Ashigaru logo
I ran a diff between this release and TDevD's commit from Apr 24th. I didn't check the code between the latest SW release and that date since I already trusted SW.

Ashigaru devs (AD) published release notes [1] and there are also the commit messages from SW commit radar [2].

SW had a fork of bitcoinj. I never had it cloned and it's possible the repository is lost :(

The library and source code are downloaded from JitPack. According to their logs [3], it was built in Mar 20th.
Unless AD are wicked and in cahoots with JitPack, it should be safe to me. Image
From ExtLibJ, which is used for Stonewall, Soroban, BIP47 etc, there are no changes, except for backend URLs.

Comparison was made with @noosphere888x2 repository [4].

Ok, so now on to the actual review.
New features: the wallet pings an onion URL to see if there's a new version, maybe because there's no Play store and they have no social media.

Also there's a new wallet sync view.

Tor and own Dojo are now mandatory.

OXT explorer was removed. Apparently one is available only if the Dojo instance has one.

Soroban (without Joinbot) and Ricochet are back. So is PayNym, under a new directory. The connect fee has been waived.

Whirlpool removed from the GUI and also options to call SW's support. Image
About the new directory, I would like to file a complaint against the CEO. What the hell was that 😭😭😭🗣️🗣️🗣️

To finish the review, there were many changes due to rebranding, changing URLs, colours and addresses. Image
The build is reproducible as per the instructions. I used unzip instead of apktool because it's faster and was already installed. Image
That's it, congratulations and good luck to Ashigaru devs. Now, take some time to visit [5].

I've migrated my full node from a Raspberry Pi 4 to a mini PC (T4 Pro).

I love my RPis and the RPi4 has served me well for years, but I decided to migrate due to the better hardware and price of the mini PCs.
They're very small too.

Here's a short report of my experience (1/10)
In the price range of 85-95 USD on Aliexpress, the T4 Pro is equipped with the N3350 processor and 6GB RAM.

There are several other options, like the faster J4125 or N5095 CPUs for about 110-130 USD and 8GB RAM.

I also got a KingSpec 1TB SSD for about 60-70 USD (2/10)
By the way, this is not a recommendation of anything. I have no idea if these hardware are durable or not.

A useful website for comparing CPUs is cpubenchmark.net.
As seen in the picture below, all examples mentioned score considerably better than the RPi4 (3/10)
