TARIFFS ARE INFLATIONARY. STACK HARDER.
With the US–China trade war heating up, there’s no better time to double down on self-custody.
Here’s what’s new in Nunchuk’s latest release:
• Option to disable key path spending in Taproot multisig wallets
• Fee estimates for key path vs. script path
• Export transaction history to CSV
• Bug fixes & improvements for group wallets
We couldn’t reproduce the issue. Were able to successfully add a Coldcard Q key via QR. Are you sure you scan the correct QR?
They are completely different wallets. Without the seed phrase on testnet4, we can’t reproduce the issue.
Careful, we don’t have a Telegram group!
We have a Community Slack channel here, if you could share more info there: https://join.slack.com/t/nunchukio/shared_invite/zt-xqdlvl5g-xKKohQu_R7IUo7_np8rVaw
🚀 Today we’re supporting nostr:npub1q67f4d7qdja237us384ryeekxsz88lz5kaawrcynwe4hqsnufr6s27up0e
from Bitcoin-Safe.Org with 1,000,000 satoshis for his work on Bitcoin Safe – a beginner-friendly multisig wallet for Mac, Windows, Linux, or anywhere Python runs. Why this matters 🧵👇
🔧 Development of Specter Desktop is no longer a priority at Swan. A vital open-source wallet has essentially become abandonware – leaving a painful gap in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
💡 Andreas, a former Specter developer himself, recognized this gap – and with Bitcoin Safe created a brand-new solution that already goes beyond what Specter offered.
🔒 What makes Bitcoin Safe special:
An open-source wallet focused on multisig and hardware wallet integration. It combines the strengths of Electrum, Specter, and @mempool – with Nostr functionality added in.
🧙 The beginner-friendly multisig wizard makes secure Bitcoin self-custody accessible – even for non-technical users.
🖼️ The graphical transaction display isn’t just functional, it’s beautiful. Even better than Sparrow! For Bitcoin artists like Fractal_Encrypt and nostr:npub1yp7wfa7msdpusf4vupzttttu2mx3cns7whx5cgkt4yr9pkpvujus2mzys7 it can be exported as vector graphics.
🌐 But the real gamechanger is the Nostr integration – enabling secure, decentralized PSBT exchange between cosigners.
🌐 It’s comparable to Electrum’s Cosigner Pool or nunchuk's proprietary chat – but here: fully open source, set up in seconds, and run via encrypted Nostr DMs.
🔗 Not just PSBTs – UTXO labels can be shared via Nostr too. A key building block for collaboration in multisig setups.
🌍 We’d love to see other wallet clients adopt this Nostr sync functionality as well – to increase client diversity, especially for organizations with varying needs.
🛠️ Bitcoin Safe delivers this critical workflow entirely open source – built on the decentralized Nostr protocol. A milestone for sovereignty in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
🤝 Open-source Bitcoin projects are chronically underfunded. That’s why it’s so important to support developers like Andreas who push boundaries and define new standards. Bitcoin Safe 💪
📣 Our support of 1,000,000 satoshis is meant to send a message:
High-quality open-source development deserves funding.
2 out of 5 cosigners signed this transaction using Bitcoin Safe. Who’s next?

Open source stays alive – with your help.
FYI, our group wallet + chat is not proprietary.
It is open source and built on BIP129 (which we co-authored). More information in this blog: https://nunchuk.io/blog/group-wallet

Thanks for testing and the shout-out guys! 🙏 nostr:nprofile1qqs0sxxdz722j74u5kvzym4chlualjx0jef32llvdveg98jpqs0tmlgfwhsdd nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7ct4w35zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6qgkwaehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshsqg9xpeu7pmdd2yqdw4pmv609z0dursshp68fka8ahr5hrt73urngzv2z5a4j nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7nn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvqy28wumn8ghj7nn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mqqgpamm49yuqfufwg356zztmun23kx38ma67jk6dqfmnhllpupmmnwypf56vh
Got chance earlier today to test out the nostr:npub1cvqlzvmjercdn0ypsmv8f7j9lge6ahsnueh5rparh53wuswftv4q49yjt3 Taproot Group Wallet feature with my pal nostr:npub18h0w55nsp839ezxnggf00jd2xc6yl0ht62mf5p8wwllu8s80wdcs83ws8m.
Have to say I am very impressed with the ease of use. Question for nostr:npub1cvqlzvmjercdn0ypsmv8f7j9lge6ahsnueh5rparh53wuswftv4q49yjt3, is the comms still using Matrix?
Thank you and no, the new Group Wallet doesn’t rely on Matrix at all. Check out our blog: https://nunchuk.io/blog/group-wallet
Thank you! 🫡
It's in the blog post (no, it's no longer using Matrix): https://nunchuk.io/blog/group-wallet
🚀 Collaborative Bitcoin custody, reinvented!
Meet Nunchuk’s New & Improved Group Wallet:

✅ Auto-deleting messages
💡 How it works:
No extra chat keys! We derive E2EE keys directly from your wallet’s descriptors.
🔒 Two-phase encryption (asymmetric → symmetric)
📱 Seamless cross-device setup
🕑 Auto-deleting messages
Shared Bitcoin ownership has never been easier. Free for all users.

It does work with Start9 over Tor. You'd need a Tor proxy (Orbot or Tailscale) on your phone.
The ByBit hack essentially boils down to three things:
• Users failing to verify all transaction/contract details
• Users relying on a browser-based wallet that’s easy to spoof
• Ethereum contracts being fundamentally complex and mutable (“upgradable”)
Stick to Bitcoin and natively written wallets for serious money.
You know I did have problems but I just got it working - I’m on iOS and I never realized to use tor apps on Start9 via iOS you need Orbot:
https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/device-guides/ios/tor-ios
Then I followed the Nunchuk instructions with the tcp:// prefix and it seems to work great!

Glad to hear!
Sweet!
Ok, so I fucked around and found out: you can run Bitcoin Core + Specter on your server, create a watch-only wallet by importing your xpub and use that to derive new addresses as needed.
I think there’s a much simpler setup (xpub-tool, for example) but I couldn’t make derive the same addresses as my Nunchuk wallet. Tinkered with derivation paths to no avail.

Do you use a singlesig wallet? It should be using standard derivation (m/84h/0h/0h) for a NativeSegwit singlesig wallet.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Do you mean for Taproot multisig? Nunchuk is already compatible with SeedSigner.
For Taproot multisig, the hardware vendors need to add support for MuSig2/Schnorr on their end. Currently, only Ledger has experimental support for it.
Correct, unlike mainnet and testnet, anyone can run their own signet instances. Technically there’s no “the” signet.
