It pulls a summary of the blocks from normal Bitcoin nodes. If an address of the wallet is in the summary, then the wallet pulls the entire block.
This is fast, because only a few blocks need to be pulled.
And it is private, because in each block are 2000+ transations, and it is not easy to determine which one you were interested in.

Thanks for the praise! It's live done feedback when you use it.
My goal with the wallet is to make not only a great wallet, but to remove the need for electrum servers all together.
In the 2.0 I want to include the Compact Block Filter Backend for bdk, which is fast and private https://github.com/rustaceanrob/kyoto

You are right of course. I know Trust Wallet had this massive bug https://www.ledger.com/blog/funds-of-every-wallet-created-with-the-trust-wallet-browser-extension-could-have-been-stolen

Yes, Electrum servers are a big worry for privacy.
Once Compact Block Filters are in bdk, Bitcoin Safe www.bitcoin-safe.org , will integrate CBF to get rid of the need for electrum servers.

Thanks for the nice discussion about hardware signer trade-offs. I think it is important to highlight that any hardware signer is better than a software seed.
That's the reason I disallow software seeds in bitcoin-safe.org
#nevent1q…prlr

2024-12-08 12:37:08

**[Bitcoin Safe](https://www.bitcoin-safe.org)** has software seeds (generation and import) only on Testnet. On Mainnet sending transactions requires hardware signers in [Bitcoin Safe](https://www.bitcoin-safe.org). *But why?*
**[Bitcoin Safe](https://www.bitcoin-safe.org)** is designed as a long terms savings wallet (single and multisig), eliminating as many *foot-guns* as possible. Software seeds are a *foot-gun*, because:
- Software seeds are **unsafe** for any substantial amount, because a general purpose computer is not designed to hold secrets of significant value.
- Giving new users the option to create a software seed, might lead to the following **unsafe** behavior: Create software seed, and later port it to a hardware wallet, which gives a false sense of security.
- Software seeds makes phishing easier, since users are used to having seeds on a computer.
- Software seeds are however useful for developers and therefore **Bitcoin Safe** does offer it for Testnet/Signet/Regtest
At every wallet generation **Bitcoin Safe** helps the user to backup the seed words onto paper together with the **descriptor** during the [step-by-step wizard](https://bitcoin-safe.org/page/setup-multisignature-wallet/) with the warning never to type it into a computer or make a picture.
https://bitcoin-safe.org/page/pdf-export/1.png
@nprofile…zjmq Episode 76 #nevent1q…s7vh discussed different hardware signers and their trade-offs , and it is out of question, that *any* hardware signer is better, than a software seed.

I just send money.
But not just money... The best money that ever existed.
But not just that... I didn't need any company, and it could not have been stopped, by anyone!
But even crazier: it doesn't even matter how I send the transaction - any communication channel to anyone in the network is sufficient.
.... Yeah I send some money.
