Wasabi Wallet in Whonix

[Patrick]

westtimer via Whonix Forum:

Could I ask you a couple questions to see if im on the right track.

What is roughly required, see this thread:

Bisq - The P2P Exchange Network

Bisq is an open-source desktop application that allows you to buy and sell bitcoins in exchange for national currencies, or alternative crypto currencies. Has anyone been able to get this running? It seems to come pre-packaged with Tor? Is it trying to run Tor over Tor in Whonix? Did I read that Whonix has built-in measures to prevent this? Bisq seems like an interesting project. Edit by Patrick: See user documentation.

Identifying and prevention of starts of its integrated Tor binary wasn’t
easy to figure out (
Bisq: The P2P Exchange Network )

checklist:

• minor importance for now, a better port number as per:
  Stream Isolation
• local redirection of Tor port to Whonix-Gateway
• Is Tor ControlPort access required? If yes, onion-grater profile required.
• Does it have a mechanism to start Tor (that actually still works in
  Whonix, unlikely) or does it come with its own built-in Tor? Compare ps aux before and after starting the application. find/grep the source
  code, ask upstream developers.

Not rocket science but usually no one is up for it.

In case of bisq I only started working on it 7 months later due to a
professional support request.
