Cove is officially available on the App Store 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congrats! Slick app. If I set up a watch-only wallet, is that using Electrum Server on the backend? Whom am I doxing my IP to (i.e. mempool.space)?

You can connect to your own node, but we use Mempool for fiat prices, so I guess you’d be doxing your ip to them.

But mempool.space won't see your addresses, just you pinging their api for fiat price.

correct

Aren’t the addresses needed to fetch the utxo balance?

How else does Cove know which balances to fetch?

Ah, I better understand now, your addresses are doxed unless you use a private node. Your IP is doxed no matter what for price discovery (which is reasonable).

Yup that’s right, going to work on privacy options other than connecting to a private node, but for now that’s correct.
