Unpopular (?) opinion: banish the term 'PSBT' from the UI of software wallets (and hardware signers).

It's just a file format. Image-editing tools don't tell you "load JPEG/PNG/..." – it's "Load image".

'Transaction draft'? 'Unfinished transaction'? Just 'transaction'?

Just transaction

I think it indeed works in many cases, although adding some attribute that suggest an action (like 'draft', 'unfinished', etc.) might be useful to guide into the next step.

If the UI normalizes the fact that only *signed* transactions can be broadcast, then "transaction" is fine for a PSBT.

also PSBT doesnt mean anything from an operative point of view, in most cases users have an unsigned (so, not a partially signed) tx.

That's the plan (see the dropdown). https://bitcoincore.app/send/basic-flow/

Great, thanks for sharing!

We'll have a separate discussion about getting rid of addresses, but that requires more infrastructure before it's feasible :)

Although, I think that only covers single-sig?

Christoph Ono 4mo ago

Easy. All transactions just go to my address.

What about descriptors?

salvatoshi 4mo ago

Users should (mostly) not see them, either.

Although, that's not yet possible as they need to be able to inspect them during wallet creation/registration.
