should I make a sparrow wallet guide?
should it be text or video?
what should it cover?
Discussion
Yes
Video please
Nah, plenty have been made. Promote the solid dudes that have already made solid guides.
It should definitely cover Sparrow Wallet
Thatās crazy! I think a Sparrow guide should logically cover potatoes.
Make one and call it the āParanoid Guide to Bitcoinā. Take ALL the steps for maximal verification and sovereignty. Iām talking 90min of source compiling offline videos. š
Only half a joke.
Yes please.
I love this guy. He is a humble sats stacker and making tutorials along the way. Good lad. More tutorials are always welcome though, so I would say yes
Yes please.
Yes please.

EVERYTHING!

It should be in VR.
Text, definitely
Sparrow already has phenomenal docs at https://www.sparrowwallet.com/docs/. More docs about Sparrow outside of that space would be redundant IMO.
However, a video would help those that learn better visually (or the lazy fks who don't read..)
yea, the official docs are great, I link to them in my coldcard guide
Lots of videos out there on basic Sparrow functions, setup, send, receive, etc. Would be awesome to see examples of more niche or advanced scenarios like, UTXO management, CoinJoin best practices, dealing with BadBank change, and even a start to finish multi vendor multisig setup.
š«” YES
Would be cool if you could somehow demonstrate what can be leaked due to poor UTXO management. Iām down with text and video.
Multisig might be good because itās one of the scarier topics, yet quite important
I think a text guide would be ideal, as it can easily be updated later to accommodate major UI/UX changes or new features
Not sure what to cover as I havenāt been keeping up with what guides have been put out lately.
But maybe go through Craigās documentation and see whatās not covered that you use frequently, and cover that.
Another idea would be a guide that is concise and simple for people brand new to transacting with bitcoin might be helpful.
Maybe consider curating content you feel to be the best. Perhaps with your own recommendations, best practices and usage habits.
Great comprehensive guide:

When do you think the world will be ready for a #nostr guide for normies?
if we are doing it right they won't need a guide
You could post it āblog styleā here on Nostr with nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q
Hereās an example of a simple 5 day bitcoin 101 walkthrough I published on nostr with YakiHonne. I collected the links with #nostree :
how to safely sweep a paperwallet using sparrow
Donāt waste your time, link to BTCsessions stuff. Video is best for learning. Can start stop, pause and rewind
Absolutely šÆ
Utxo management. whirlpool advanced features
Can you make it a pdf with snapshots like a process document anyone can print like the whitepaper?
Iād love to see a comprehensive video of taking your bitcoin off a KYC exchange, sending it to a Sparrow Wallet, mixing, and sending to a multi sig wallet. I realize this would be a long video though. So maybe a series. Most people will relate to taking it off a KYC exchange (even if itās not a recommended way).
Covering the nuances of handling utxo's in badbank would be great.
And easy privacy mistakes in general. A suggestion more on the feature side: how to mix directly to cold storage.
Video helps a lot newbies and not šš«š
Yes.
Please do. I use it as a replacement for Ledger Live, but I feel like I am barely scratching the shrink wrap of what it is capable of. Much Thanks.

One of the trickier things noticed with Sparrow is the initial set up, and toggling using Tor network as a proxy.
For users who wish to maximize the privacy capabilities of the wallet, this setting is a good one to turn on. However, depending on the other settings in the computer, users consistently get error messages. This might be caused by the user's VPN setup, and other firewalls working on the system, whether default OS firewall, or an additional third party firewall.
Tor browser is also required to be running to be used as a proxy, and this is an easy thing to forget when starting up Sparrow.
Still, the combination of Samourai whirpool to Sparrow desktop is great.
Please let me know if you need any help, or to elaborate on any previous points.
Hey, I am running Bitcoin Core via Tor on my computer. Struggling to connect Sparrow Wallet to it. What fields in the "Server" settings on Sparrow should be filled with what? Cheers!

I think a review of Sessions' Cold Card with Sparrow tutorial, considering some updates that cover any changes to procedures, or any slight differences that have arisen with any Cold Card firmware changes, would form the basis of a useful video. Or wait till the ColdCard Q1 reaches some users.
