Hey Stacker friends 👋

After some serious trial and error, I finally got Specter Desktop v2.1.1 running smoothly on Start9 – and yes, it works with Bitcoin Core v28! This was a missing piece for many who wanted to run the latest Bitcoin Core while using Specter for multisig and hardware wallet setups.
🛠️ What I did:

    Forked Start9Labs/specter-startos

    Updated Specter to v2.1.1

    Switched to the new start-sdk build process (since embassy-sdk is deprecated)

    Adapted the Makefile accordingly

    Verified everything with a successful build and sideloaded .s9pk on my Raspberry Pi

🧪 The Result:

    Works like a charm!

    Integrated with Bitcoin Core v28

    Pull request submitted: #56 on GitHub

    Repo: Funman2/specter-startos

💡 Why this matters:

Specter is one of the best tools for managing multisig setups with hardware wallets. Getting it to work with modern Bitcoin Core versions on Start9 opens up a lot of flexibility and keeps sovereign stack users up to date.
🤝 Help wanted:

    Test the .s9pk if you’re running Start9

    Review the PR

    Contribute to further improvements (e.g. Electrs support, UI tweaks)

As a dad of 2 kids and huge nunchuk fan I can understand that so well, thanks Hugo, you are doing really impressive work here! Dividing my time between my job as a professional musician, my kids and wife and testing nunchuk, giving feedback on github! ;-)
