Support for larger displays means on-screen text is easier to read and makes more efficient outgoing QR communication possible. The new display hat shown below incorporates one of these larger screens. Seven new languages -- French, Chinese, Catalan, Dutch, German, Italian and Japanese -- mean many more people can now interact with a SeedSigner in their native tongue. The map below gives an approximation of what our updated language coverage looks like. More languages are coming soon, including right-to-left languages (e.g. Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, etc.) that will add significant additional global coverage. If there is a language you would like to see in an upcoming release, there are relevant instructions in our release notes. As usual, you don't have to take our word on what makes up the release binaries; our releases are reproducible and instructions to build your own binaries can be found at:

SeedSigner continues to be the work of a core group of volunteer contributors, as well as a growing collection of auxiliary technical contributors who engage with the project when their time/interests/skills align. If you are getting value from the SeedSigner project, please take a moment to send some sats to our core technical contributors -- all tips, small and large, are **greatly** appreciated and go a long way to incentivize continued development:

SeedSigner: Air-gapped DIY Bitcoin Signing Device

Donate - SeedSigner: Air-gapped DIY Bitcoin Signing Device

It is jointly managed by 5 key stakeholders in the SeedSigner project and earmarked to support the work of our developers!

Our project embodies what volunteer, collaborative, low time preference, open source, bitcoin-only, building "out in the open" looks like. We continue to improve on our core concept of trust-minimized, self-sovereign cold storage out of love for bitcoin, & our fellow bitcoiners.

🚨 Announcing SeedSigner 0.8.5 !!! 🚨 Our first multi-language release, featuring Español! Keep reading and please see the attached images for additional details. 👇 First off, how to activate the Spanish UI -- just update to this latest version, navigate to the "Language" option in the signer's settings, and from there you can now select Español as an option. 🧡 Work on this release has taken a meandering FOSS path, with @Keith Mukai starting the initial effort more than 2.5 years ago -- @Jean Do kept the flame burning for some time… We immensely appreciate the instrumental help from Ronny Avenando, Max Apogee and @DaxSosa, two of whom also made their first PRs! More western and English-similar languages should quickly follow (e.g. Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Czech, etc.). Other languages may take more time but work on them will continue... Some translation teams have already been assembled, but if you would like to see if an effort to add a specific language has already been initiated (see image below)... The comment below shared in our dev chat by our Project Manager @Ace says a lot about how we view the importance of this release. 🧡 A big thank you to our core contributors, and to ALL of the other people that played a role in this effort. 🙏 If you'd like to financially thank our most active contributors, you can visit http://seedsigner.com/donate To learn more about our vision for a community-built, secure DIY FOSS bitcoin signing device that's accessible to people all over the world, check out http://seedsigner.com, our GitHub repo (https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner), or visit our Telegram user community (

Our contributors have built a top tier tool set for permissionless, self-sovereign saving, provided at no cost for the global bitcoin community. The majority of the bitcoin industry is not incentivized to share what we've built -- please help us get the word out! 🧡 🙏

Easy == bitcoin UX 🐐 View quoted note →

I will be sharing personal takes and other non-SeedSigner related items using this account. Bona fides for this new identity can be found in the note below. View quoted note →

Easy is an amazing designer, contributor to our project, and a solid dude besides. Can’t wait for this. View quoted note →

Appreciate Max having me on the @Ungovernable Misfits pod for a chat. 🧡 https://ungovernablemisfits.com/podcast/confab-09-bitcoin-paradise/

I just created a brand new Nostr account with Primal, selected “bitcoin“ as my interest, and the new account was automatically configured to follow 56 people, which included Pavlenex (who is an awesome dude). It’s good to be in the club if you’re in the club, but I'm also left wondering if Primal can be or is used to de-emphasize some voices or topics as well. View quoted note →

Giving people the opportunity to put less trust in centralized third parties is not "UX regression". When a commercial HWW verifies firmware/software at power-on, users are trusting they're using authentic hardware, and they're outsourcing the verification process to the same entity that produces both the hardware and the software. For many users these choices will make sense, but for some they won't -- it's good for people to have options to choose from.

The read-only CD backup is a clever idea. The shelf-life of optical discs isn't terribly long but could be a good fit for this use case. 🧡 View quoted note →
