It's been some time in the making, but our latest major release, SeedSigner v0.6.0, dropped last night and it's a monster...

This release has been ~8 months in the making and includes work from more contributors than any other previous release.
0.6.0's marquee feature is SeedSigner OS, that includes a custom Linux kernel created using Buildroot (https://buildroot.org).
(big kudos to #[0] & #[1] for all of their work on this amazing leap forward for our project!)
SeedSigner OS's key features include:
. Remove microSD after start-up
. Networking/BT/swap/usb removed from kernel
. Deployment image is ~100x smaller
. Build from scratch with minimal commands
Other new features in 0.6.0 include:
. Receive/change address explorer
. BIP-85 deterministic seed derivation
. p2tr (taproot) signing
. Compact SeedQR enabled by default
. MicroSD removal & reinsertion notification
. Keeper coordinator option
. Various UI tweaks & minor bugfixes
SeedSigner OS may also open the door for some interesting new features down the road, possibly including reproducible builds, PSBT transfer via MicroSD, and others... π€
Many of us are also very excited about #[2] βs work on NIP-26 delegated signing using SeedSigner β many of the improvements to our current feature set will serve to enhance that functionality if/when it is introduced.
If you are receiving value from SeedSigner, or just appreciate the importance of the things weβre working on, please consider zapping this note. This Nostr profile is configured to route lightning payments to our development fund, the proceeds from which are distributed to our contributors:
Btw, Iβll be making an announcement soon on our next disbursement from the development fund for our contributors, stay tuned.
In the meantime, a big thank you to ALL of our contributors -- SeedSigner is an amazing FOSS tool that's been built for, and by, the bitcoin community.
