The "License and Test Suite and Cursors - Oh My!" Release

This release adds a couple of new features and includes some under-the-hood work as well.

To install on a MicroSD, download the file "seedsigner_0_4_3.zip", extract the .img file, and write that image to a MicroSD card (at least 4GB in size).

Startup time is holding for now at ~50 seconds. (Way down from where we started at 90 seconds!)

(Please note that our core air-gapped QR signing functionality is working reliably, however when making transactions with numerous inputs [UTXO consolidation] the volume of frames to scan in and out of SeedSigner can be large. We are working with wallet coordinator developers to optimize this process; like most software, it will get better and better with time.)

New Features:

  • Generate 24-word seed entropy from digital photos
  • Redesigned seed/passphrase entry keyboard interface
  • Significantly reduced camera startup time
  • Code structure migration to singleton controller
  • Creation of initial project test suite

Considerations:

  • Built for compatibility with Specter v1.4.5 and up
  • Built for compatibility with Sparrow Wallet v1.4.2 and up
  • Built for compatibility with BlueWallet v6.1.9 and up
  • For testing/development using SSH, the device's network name is "seedsigner"
  • The best way to practice & get comfortable with signing is testnet
  • Test with small amounts of BTC first if starting with mainnet
  • Slightly rotate the SeedSigner screen to resolve glare/lighting issues
