Sparrow Wallet 🐦

🥷@craigraw just shipped Silent Payments receiving in Sparrow Wallet! One Bitcoin address. Reuse it forever. Zero privacy loss. This is one of the biggest privacy upgrades Bitcoin has had in years. Here's why it matters and what Silent Payments actually are. 🧵

Sparrow v2.5.1 has been released to fix a UI issue where the wrong script type was selected on loading a wallet with a non-default type. In addition, BIP322 message signing has been adjusted to match the now completed BIP. Changelog: github.com/sparrowwallet/…

There are many other smaller changes such as bitview.space as a new fee rates source, Electrum transport reliability improvements, and an upgrade to JavaFX v26. See the release notes for more: github.com/sparrowwallet/…

Scanning for received outputs is performed by the connected Electrum server, which must support Silent Payments scanning. Frigate is the first implementation of an SP-capable Electrum server. github.com/sparrowwallet/…

Sparrow v2.4.2 has been released to fix issues in the transaction editor and improve certificate pinning for TLS connections. Support has also been added for v3 transactions in the transaction editor. Changelog here: github.com/sparrowwallet/…

Sparrow v2.4.1 has been released to fix higher CPU usage on some platforms due to a screen layout issue. In addition, it's now possible to configure a custom wallets directory by opening a wallet from a non-default location. Changelog here: github.com/sparrowwallet/…

@Kasso005 You can create the sweep transaction without broadcasting it. See x.com/SparrowWallet/…

@SparrowWallet Sparrow wallet is awesome! It would be great if they also had an option to check an opendime ballance. 😄

Sparrow v2.4.0 released with: Send to silent payments hardware wallet support Address display chunking Wallet discovery for USB hardware wallets Codex32 support Trezor Safe 7, Ledger Nano Gen5, Keycard and Keycard Shell support sparrowwallet.com/download

@FractalEncrypt @Trezor @Ledger @Keycard_ @newzealandhodl Yes, the importer accepts a Codex32 secret, which contains a BIP32 HD master seed in the payload. See github.com/sparrowwallet/…

@SparrowWallet @Trezor @Ledger @Keycard_ @newzealandhodl How is the codex32 share imported (as a BIP32 key?) and how can it be used after import? And where in the code can I find the new importer? Read the release notes, but still curious.

There are many other minor changes such as precise fee estimation from @mempool, a new fee estimator from @blocks, and restored access to @coingecko for exchange rates. See the release notes for more: github.com/sparrowwallet/…

Hardware wallet support now includes the @Trezor Safe 7 and @Ledger Nano Gen5. Also now supported is the @keycard_ Shell (via QR) and Keycard (via NFC). On the hot wallet side, Codex32 (BIP93) is now supported for a single share.
