Was going to take a look because I will play a little with anything.
But why are you using Java to build?. A lot, possibly even most security people see java / java script and run screaming in the other direction.

I don't care one way or the other, but you might want to look at another alternative.

Hey Dave
I am not using java or anything, and this is not my wallet project, but I am just testing it because I think it is good that other major wallets have some competition.
We don't want developers to get to lazy, and I like to post something new here in forum so that everyone can explore it. Wink

Cheers

IMO, it poses no danger to Ledger's keys.

Yeap, not that much risk(as far as I know) since you verify the transaction details on the Ledger device itself anyway. But I was referring to actually using this wallet for generating and actually storing the keys(and not just making transactions like when connecting a hardware wallet to it).

Looks pretty slick— UI looks clean without sacrificing functionality and features.

With that said, I agree with bitmover that I don't think people should use this new wallet for storing keys with high-valued holdings unless you can verify the code and compile it yourself. I'm personally going to wait this out and wait til it gets a bit more publicity.

Non-custodial BTC Wallet

It is a beautiful wallet.

I have some mixed feelings about wallets.

I am very satisfied with the wallets I use (software and hardware). They dominate the market somehow

Just like I think oligopolies are bad for everyone, I don't risky trying new wallets.

I trust my money in ledger, trezor and electrum. I wouldn't trust sparrow, at least not with a huge amount. But I could try this wallet for small amounts, if it brings something very new which I would use.
