@belg @TeRvErO can you try running this in a github codespace? I set up a repo that should make it easy to get started with running this in a codespace, the README includes instructions on what you’d need to do. Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues.
I think there was a way where you could bridge your funds back or something some ago
@joshc None of the machines are available in any region.
Can you try creating a fork of the aztec-v2-ejector repo and creating a codespace for the fork?
Ah yes you are right. The hostRequirements in the devcontainer.json were set above the free codespace limit. I just removed the hostRequirements setting here although it likely wont work if the machine is too small.
You can get access to larger codespace machines by signing up for a higher-tier Github plan.
@joshrc Thank you. I can indeed launch in the codespace now. But I’m getting the same error as @belg mentioned above:
How much memory does the machine that you are using have? I suspect you are running out of memory.
Hi, i am researching the sunset aztec ecosystem and am curious about the following concerning the old zk money (aztec v2 non-zkconnect):
- The aztec ejector for old.zk.money will only work for withdrawals during the escape hatch window right? or does it somehow borrow keys from a registered rollup processor?
- Is the ejector similar to running the whole rollup myself (falafel etc.)? Technically i could also deposit with it correct?
- Is there still a way to not run the rollup and use the escape hatch like those escape hatch servers? (probably not)
thanks in advance ![]()
The escape hatch key is actually public now, so anyone can use it. Using the ejector is running the rollup yourself. Technically there is a way to not run the rollup and use the escape hatch, but there aren’t any tools available that make it practical to do.
Let me try to address your queries:
- The Aztec ejector for old.zk.money will only work during the designated escape hatch window. It does not borrow keys from a registered rollup processor - it functions independently to facilitate withdrawals from the legacy system.
- The ejector is not the same as running the full Aztec rollup yourself (Falafel, etc.). The ejector is a more limited tool specifically for withdrawing funds during the escape period. You would not be able to deposit new funds using the ejector.
- Unfortunately, there is no longer a way to use the escape hatch without running the full Aztec rollup. The third-party escape hatch servers that existed previously are no longer operational. Your only option now is to use the official Aztec ejector during the designated withdrawal window.
