Dear Craig,
currently the onion side of Sparrow Wallet can't be found.
This is the address that was not found.

Sorted. Thanks for the heads up.
Some wallets (eg Trezor Suite) do not allow you to create a second account if the first one is unused. Sparrow does, however. Otherwise all correct.
You can do it with Sparrow, how much it helps is difficult to say - depends on your threat model.
Agree
Download from https://sparrowwallet.com/download/, verify and install - the method differs depending on your OS
Best to update for that, currency rate providers change APIs

Frigate v1.2.0 has been released.
Frigate is an experimental Electrum server testing efficient Silent Payments scanning with ephemeral keys.
The major feature in this release is GPU acceleration of the cryptographic computation required for Silent Payments scanning. This provides a dramatic (over 10x) performance improvement over CPU computation, and makes a public Silent Payments Electrum server a practical reality for the first time.

Silent payment addresses are a new form of static payment address, where the actual bitcoin address that you send to is determined from both the silent payment address and the transaction inputs.
This means you can pay to the same silent payments address while ensuring bitcoin addresses are never reused. This both simplifies the payment experience and makes it more private, at the cost of increasing the burden on the recipient to scan incoming transactions for their payments.

I’m aware. Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to choose an English name which is not already used in a software project somewhere.
Announcing Frigate.
Frigate is an experimental Electrum server testing efficient Silent Payments scanning with ephemeral client keys.
Note that Frigate is currently a proof of concept for supporting Silent Payments on Electrum servers, and not a replacement for Electrs, Fulcrum etc.

It’s fine. There is a chance of address reuse if you hand out a change address to someone and they use it after the wallet has already used it for change.
You have to import the wallet over USB first.
