Java is one of the most popular languages for open source development, but specifically it has an open source native desktop GUI framework which is modern, cross platform, mature, and well maintained (unlike most other languages).

It’s part of the sparrow repo - see the com.sparrowwallet.sparrow.terminal package. Nice project btw!


Creating a new wallet and selecting the different script type is the easiest approach. Note that Nested Segwit should be considered a legacy script type though - Native Segwit offers better privacy.


You can do this if you create the new account with a watch only keystore, but I haven’t seen a compelling reason to add this as a general feature.


It is a flaw of the deeply self-interested men of the world that they assume that idealists are fools.

Correct. I haven’t yet heard of a good reason to expose them that would justify the additional risk.


Could be a driver issue. See https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/900005443223-Fix-issues-connecting-Jade-via-USB


No plans

1. Check out the most recent Sparrow release. 2. SeedSigner is providing very minimal, arguably incomplete PSBTs so without another PSBT to combine with (as would be the case with that function) Sparrow doesn’t have enough information to load them on their own.


Fwiw I don’t think any dependencies are required for BC UR if you limit the scope of data types. Not even CBOR is required if you just transmit txs and psbts.

Would like to see a clearer, technical explanation of why it’s so problematic to implement.


No, but it would be interesting 🤔

Yes. It has been renewed on keybase.io


Thank you!


There is certainly an argument for this  - it really depends on whether the change is really doxxic or not.
