I missed this reference. Apparently the Mexicans had the greatest unboxing.

We have a new release out!

There's soooo much to cover with this release. Going to try to point out as many of the big details as I can while keeping this post brief-ish.

First thing: Please show our contributors some love AND demonstrate the power of Nostr and zap the crap out of this post. All zaps are forwarded to our development fund that goes to reward our contributors.

General note: Our release cadence tends to be less frequent than other tools -- this is a natural facet of our work as a volunteer project, and that we have a more technically conservative posture given the importance of what we're helping bitcoiners safeguard.

Headline feature: reproducible builds. Anyone in the world should be able to reproduce and validate that the software we're releasing is in line with what is in our relevant code repositories.

Big quality of life improvements:

. Power-to-Splash: ~12 seconds

. Vastly improved live camera preview

. Noticeably more responsive controls

. Brightness adjustment reminder

. MicroSD removal reminder

Something big for the Uncle Jim SeedSigner maxis out there: Formalized support for SettingsQR! Transform SeedSigner from a featureful, more technical device into a dead-simple signer for grandma, and then back again with a couple of non-private QR codes.

For devs and everyone else who is on-mission to preach and teach the SeedSigner gospel: Screenshot generator! Create pixel-perfect renderings of most UI screens for explainers, tutorials and even development use cases.

All of these updates have come from more contributors than we've had involved in any previous release.

If you are receiving value directly from SeedSigner; or if you simply understand the importance of a discreet, DIY, non-corporate, FOSS, cold storage signing tool for the global bitcoin ecosystem -- please make a donation to our development fund.

I will be digging into the above features and updates in the coming weeks to provide more detail on their value, but for now grab your signer and give 0.7.0 a try!

1 SeedSigner = ♾ Cosigners

Thank you everyone!
