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 system password has been set to "AirG@pped!" (no quotes)
Use up/down to adjust brightness while QRs are displayed
Scan a Bitcoin address to initiate the verification process
The best way to practice & get comfortable with signing is testnet
Test with small amounts of BTC first if starting with mainnet
Rotate the screen, adjust brightness & reduce QR density to resolve glare/lighting issues
