Discussion
I dumped ledger long ago, I was thinking about setting up a watch/receive only wallet on a mobile device for convenience. Theoretically the mpk would be from a 100% offline signing device. Sounds like the mpk should be treated as carefully as the secret but for privacy's sake.
Ya it would be the same as a desktop wallet but on your phone. Someone will need your device to move funds because its a watch only wallet.
Right. But if I don't want the app-maker (Zeus, Blockstream, Phoenix, etc) to see my mpk I shouldn't add it. And I don't think there's a electrum for mobile right?
This is dumb of me. Thought I wanted a way to see cold storage balance and receive on the go. But bad opsec, unnecessary risk. Hot wallet on phone, when balance gets high, drain to cold wallet. Easy peasy.
Its the same thing when you set up sparrow. But now you setting up on your phone a wat h only receive wallet. If you loose your phone no can move the money because you the one with the signing device.. im always sending to my cold storage on the go shit ill be at Walmart and send to cold storage hahaha
running your own full node solves your concerns
you can create a watch only wallet of your cold storage using Sparrow Wallet
connect Sparrow to your own node
you can see your balance and receive to cold storage addresses
