What is benefit of watch only bitcoin wallet?
Track balances, transactions, longer term portfolio without touching private keys (safer monitoring)
Do not input your xpub on any website. Offline process only (app with no network permissions)
Open source means nothing here.
only supports addresses, no xpub
👀
sounds a little like the watch-only version of Hal Wallet - #1515075
I do think watch-only wallets are a useful tool for people. The problem is really that the non-technical kinds of users who might want this, aren't necessarily equipped to evaluate the claim that it's all local.
Entering a pubkey or descriptor in my browser sounds terrifying.
the code is open source, which helps, but indeed, hard to evaluate the claims as non-techie. perhaps people can point their ai at the github to check for concerns they may have.
I guess that is how it will go. Still nerve wracking though.
yet people paste their bitcoin addresses in block explorers all the time
This is like a block explorer?
LOL reinventing what can do any block explorer webpage.
Totally useless. Who is going to check everyday a damn onchain address? Onchain is onnly for long term holding and open/close LN channels, not for "watch how your bitcoin grow". That phrase is a damn fiat maxi bullshit.
This is just BitcoinErrorLog on an anon profile, isn’t it.
Where is Satoshi's symbol... 🤦

It's funny how something you'd never consider using becomes a feature and a product someone decides to maintain.
On mobile just make it an App icon from browsing the explorer page.
