  • Miscellaneous under-the-hood code clean-up & enhancements

Bug Fixes:

Special Notes:

To install on your MicroSD card:

  • Download the file "seedsigner_0_5_1.img.zip"
  • Extract the .img file
  • Write the extracted image to a 4 GB or larger MicroSD card
  • (make sure to use "dd" or a disk-authoring tool like Balena Etcher)
  • The UI should appear in less than a minute after applying power to the device

General SeedSigner 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
  • Built for compatibility with Nunchuk 1.9.7 and up
  • The system's user:password has been set to pi:AirG@pped!
  • Rotate the screen, adjust brightness (up/down) & reduce QR density to resolve glare/lighting issues
  • Scan a Bitcoin address to initiate the manual verification process
  • The best way to practice & get comfortable with signing is testnet
  • Test with small amounts of BTC first if starting with mainnet
  • You are the software integrity assurance mechanism -- verify your downloads!
