Silent Payments Sender 1.0.0

BIP352 Silent Payments sender support (beta) integrated into Electrum's existing Send tab.

Highlights

• Supports raw sp1... / tsp1... addresses and BIP21 sp instructions.
• Derives and verifies the one-time Taproot output after Electrum selects the final transaction inputs.
• Includes offline receiver, scan, backup-verification, and recovery utilities.
• Restores the Pay-to field's native background after a validated Silent Payment is cleared.
• Adds tests and release validation

Compatibility

• Electrum 4.6.0 or newer with the Qt desktop GUI.
• Standard, single-signature deterministic software wallets only.
• Python 3.10 or newer.

Verification

• 29 self-contained unit tests passed.
• The packaged Send-tab smoke test passed in the official Electrum 4.8.0 AppImage runtime.
• The plugin was installed in an isolated Electrum 4.8.0 testnet profile and visually verified to change from a green validated Pay-to field back to the native background after Clear.
• GitHub Actions passed on Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.13, and 3.14.
