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.

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

Sparrow v1.8.4 has been released to fix a build issue affecting Sparrow Terminal. The normal desktop app is unaffected.
That said, for those who already upgraded to v1.8.3, it's a good opportunity to test the Download Verifier :)

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 🤔

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

Try turning off Prevent Computer Sleep in the Tools menu. There are other applications you can use to achieve this functionality, or better yet run Sparrow Terminal for background mixing without the need to keep your desktop awake.

Dojo is unrelated to the Whirlpool coordinator - it’s the server app/protocol that Samourai uses to load wallets.

Maybe all accounts in a wallet would be a better idea - I believe there is an open issue for this

Every relay in the onion routing could pay the next one, similar to how lightning itself works (without source based routing)

2023-03-08 14:08:51

An alternative to Tor that has users stream sats to pay relays seems like an obvious next step in network level privacy tools. Streaming sats would greatly increase the costs of the DDOS-style attacks that affect Tor so much, and provide an incentive for relay operators.

Correct, if you’re using the Bitcoin Core server option. You’d need to delete the Core wallet as well, called sparrow or cormorant.

Yep, it’s not too far off now, but unsure if it will see much adoption tbh. The need to do two rounds with each signer is a major downside, particularly if they are geographically remote.

Nah, I suspect he derived personal significance and value from doing the work. Clearly (IMO) he valued that too highly, but I do understand it - when your work has such broad impact on the world, it’s hard to keep perspective with other more mundane matters in life.
