Bitcoin Wallet Basics, Part 3 of 3 Why use a watch-only wallet? You can check your balance and transaction history without private keys. A watch-only wallet handles the viewing. When it is time to send bitcoin, a signer holding the keys approves the transaction. Separating those roles lets you use a wallet while keeping the keys offline. These cards show how the pieces work together. Share this with someone wondering how a cold wallet works without an internet connection.

Bitcoin Wallet Basics, Part 2 of 3 Do you need a separate device to hold your own bitcoin? You can start with a hot wallet on your phone. A cold wallet keeps private keys offline. How you use them and what to watch out for are different, but both need a backup. Already created a wallet? Back up your recovery phrase and keep it somewhere safe. Share this with someone who has been putting off self-custody because a separate device felt like too much.

🆕 Coconut Wallet & Vault Update 🥥 🥥 Coconut Wallet v0.19.0 (Testnet v3.19.0) 🛠️ Fixes Fixed an issue where the balance was displayed incorrectly when sending bitcoin with Trezor or BitBox. Fixed UTXO tag handling so that when a tagged UTXO is spent, you can apply the tag to the newly created UTXOs. ✨ Usability improvements Adjusted QR scanning to recognize only codes inside the QR guide box. Added a message on the home screen showing the Electrum server connection status. Changed the BSMS used for Keystone integration to an animated QR code so Keystone can read it more reliably. Made camera permission handling more consistent on the QR scanning screen. 🔐 Coconut Vault v3.3.0 (Testnet v5.3.0) (Update recommended · Not mandatory.) We improved how passphrases containing certain characters, including Korean, are handled, as well as the wallet restoration process. If you do not use a passphrase, or if you use only English letters, numbers, regular spaces entered with the space bar, and basic special characters on an English keyboard (e.g., !, @, #), this change does not affect you. When restoring an existing wallet, if the wallet selection screen appears, select “Wallet created in Coconut Vault 3.2.0 or earlier” and check that the wallet fingerprint (MFP) matches your existing wallet. You do not need to recreate your current wallet just to update the app. If you notice anything inconvenient while using the apps or have any questions, feel free to let us know on the Coconut Discord server. 🥥
