42 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 9h \ parent \ on: Easily attach wallet to SEND & RECEIVE sats from SN with Coinos.io and HODL bitcoin_beginners
@k00b explained this to me the other day but I forgot the reasoning.
TL;DR: security reasons
Sending credentials are stored on your device while receiving credentials are stored on the server. We don't want to store permissions to spend your funds on the server.1
The reason why it can't be the same is because if it's the same, something is clearly wrong: receive should only be able to receive so if it's the same, either your spend can't actually spend or you're giving us spend permissions when we expect receive only.

right, make much more sense. Looking forward to more features to come and make this guide outdated really soon!
