So, Samourai Wallet, in partnership with Bitseed, will release special full nodes called Dojo, which will allow users to contact them directly through a Tor connection, bypassing the infrastructure of the wallet itself.

Yep, you called it;)

Were you teamed up by our infrastructure. ?

Note that the developers of Samourai Wallet will create special software for Dojo on top of the main client Bitcoin Core. In addition, as soon as Samourai Wallet adds support for the Lightning Network, Dojo owners will only need to install a patch, rather than purchase an additional Lightning node. Nevertheless, the creators of the exact release date of the new product have not yet decided.

Samourai Wallet was one of the first to add support for the Segregated Witness (SegWit) protocol, implementing native bech32 addresses. In the same release, the developers activated the default STONEWALL mechanism for all users. This solution allows you to simulate CoinJoin transactions and displays such transactions in the Bitcoin blockchain in the form of a set of unrelated parties.

We add that Samourai Wallet supports hardware OpenDime offline wallets, allowing you to read data without the need for a private key.

Recall that in September, Samourai Wallet refused to display user balance sheets in US dollars.
