SeedSigner v0.8.0
It's admittedly been a minute since our last release -- we've always built carefully and deliberately, and we continue to refine our software so bitcoiners everywhere can have a better and better permissionless signing device.
Quick Highlights:
Addtional legacy signing support:
- P2PKH (bip44): Legacy format dating back to 2014
- P2SH multisig (bip45): Legacy multisig (also 2014)
Quality-of-Life improvements β€οΈ
- New animated QR scanning UI + frame-by-frame feedback
- Much better animated QR scanning progress estimation calcs: no more stuck-at-99%-progress misery!
- Smarter rendering of outgoing animated QRs = faster reads by wallet software
- UX improvements when entering bip39 passphrases, verifying multisig change, etc.
- Two new community-created 3d-printable enclosure designs
Explicit support for PSBTs w/OP_RETURN
- displays the human-readable message or the raw hex data
Import Electrum Seeds π±
- Import an Electrum native segwit mnemonic, export xpub, sign txs.
Major code refactors, Github automations, MOAR TESTSπ₯!
- Crucial yet unwieldy code got much more wieldy
- Awesome Github Actions integrations to automate test suite checks & generate custom SeedSigner OS images
- Significant upgrades to the test suite, both under the hood & overall test coverage
Notes:
Legacy multisig support enables full SeedSigner compatibility with Unchained vaults! (this is unofficial; don't expect Unchained customer support to be able to help you)
The new animated QR scanning UI is sexy (@easyuxd ftw!) and adds a green/gray feedback dot: * Green = QR frame read, new data received * Gray = QR frame read, but no new data * No dot = wtf are you pointing at?
New Pro Tip: If your software coordinator seems stalled when reading a long outgoing animated QR, flick the SeedSigner joystick up/down. Why? The first few frames of an animated QR are the most valuable and they do NOT repeat. But now when you change your SeedSigner's outgoing QR code brightness (joystick up/down), those valuable frames are re-played.
Adding limited support for Electrum seeds is meant to help legacy/OG users eventually migrate away from Electrum and into more standardized wallet software. Full integration with Electrum is not planned.
Four .img files are included in the release; select the one that is appropriate for your Raspberry Pi hardware:
- "pi0.img" - For Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 & Raspberry Pi Zero W
- "pi2.img" - For Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
- "pi02w.img" - For Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W & Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
- "pi4.img" - For Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
To install on your microSD card:
- Download the appropriate .img file
- Write the extracted image to a MicroSD card (32MB or larger)
- (make sure to use "dd" or a disk-authoring tool like Balena Etcher)
- Install the memory card in your signer
Checking your download for integrity and authenticity is super important -- with SeedSigner, you are the software authenticity assurance!
