Journal at Block 681591

Sent my first transaction ever from bitcoin core. Had 100,000 sats lying around in my Tester wallet on local bitcoin core node. Planning to use my Wasabi Wallet - hosted on same hardware - to create air-gapped ColdCard wallet. Prior to doing this, had to make sure that Wasabi is connected to my local node, which itself is running over tor. This setup seems to minimize personal data leakage to the best of my technical ability:
running local full node (bitcoin core) over tor
privacy-focused wallet connected to local node

Utxos are not associated with any IP address or third party server that is connected to my identity.

Felt good just to use the tools. I have not, up to this point, had a reason. Sending the transaction through core, I went the process of selecting which utxos to send and I doubled Core's suggested sats/byte fee based on the estimate for mid-priority shown on mempool.space. This was probably not necessary, but my transaction was promptly included in a block and in my Wasabi logs I found exactly what I was looking for:

2021-05-02 16:17:17 INFO P2pBlockProvider (221) Block acquired from local P2P connection: 0000000000000000000________________________________0fb

That is: "Block acquired from local P2P connection".

Now it's time to get that ColdCard up and running!

UPDATE
ColdCard set up with Wasabi. Created receive address in Wasabi. Sent utxos. Bricked Wasabi and restored from seed. Created transaction on Wasabi, signed on CC, broadcast successfully from Wasabi.

Feels good.
