Shameless self plug: for those interested in testing out a new silent payments wallet: check out Dana (currently only on android). We're working on giving users their own username@danawallet.app bip353 address when creating a new wallet, that should be live pretty soon.
that's odd, i don't have any hangups myself, does it return a specific kind of error?
what do you mean? with syncing Dana?
The definition of 'node' is a little vague. I also consider bip158 ('neutrino') clients to be nodes, since they can independently verify their own transactions. But they don't really engage in stuff like forwarding unconfirmed transactions.
You can also run bitcoin core in pruned mode. In that case you drop block data that is irrelevant to you after verifying it, but other than that, you interact with the network in the same way that a full node would.
either you run a node, or someone else does it for you
What network are you using on Cake wallet? Are these mainnet coins?
I don't think it should be possible to send from Cake wallet to Dana, since they are on different networks. Does your receive address start with 'sprt1q'?
Using Dana wallet, scanning from block 800.000 for incoming silent payments takes ~10 minutes
silent payment receiving support!
I have a silent payment bip353 address: cygnet@silentpayments.dev
The first public (pre)-release of Dana wallet is out!
Dana wallet is a new bitcoin wallet with a focus on simplicity and privacy-friendliness. Dana uses silent payments, a new bitcoin payment protocol that has excellent on-chain privacy by default.
You can check it out here: https://github.com/cygnet3/danawallet/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha
Note: this is still an alpha release and there may be bugs. We recommend using the 'signet' network so you can test the app without risking real funds. To get some coins to play with, use our Signet faucet: https://silentpayments.dev
First Dana wallet release :)
