Yup. Python can do anything python can do (couldn't play the videos in Iris, but it all sounds right).

A lot of (er, all?) the onscreen security checks people occasionally ask for end up just being security theater since a compromised SD card can show you whatever it wants onscreen. Removing the SD card in the new SeedSigner OS def helps. And when the MicroPython port is done, there'll be firmware-level checks that will make "evil" SD cards much more difficult/impossible(?).

What’s the ETA for the MicroPython port? I’ve been planning to watch your YouTube series on how to get started downloading the project to make enhancements and contributions but should I wait until the port is completed? I’m not a coding expert by any means so it’s takes me a while to figure out how to build what I have in my head 😁

The basic plan is to use as much of the existing SeedSigner code as possible. So almost all of the walkthrough coding vids will still be relevant.

Only the UI/hardware-level code will be branched for Raspi dependencies vs MicroPython/esp32-S2/S3/etc deps.

Think biz logic vs rendering code.

And as for ETA... Oof. Unfortunately my current fiat responsibilities are taking up a lot of my coding time, so progress is so much slower than I thought it would be. Haven't had the luxury of being full-time on SeedSigner since late last year.

However, some of the work I'm doing now in the test suite is actually helping to pave the way for the MicroPython code to move forward. And the next big push on the MicroPython side will/should/hopefully be a gigantic leap forward.
