The November 5th non-custodial switch is postponed. We knew it would rain in October, but it ended up pouring and we missed the deadline. The switch will still happen, guaranteed. We'll give a two week warning once the changes are done this time around. Those of you that got ready in advance are set, but everyone else will have a bit more time.

In your settings, you can enabled encrypted device sync which will allow us to sync changes to your sending wallet credentials between devices. Enabling device sync requires each device input the same mnemonic passphrase and can be shared between devices via QR code scanning.

Once enabled and you leave the device sync page, it's impossible for SN to show you this passphrase again (we store the passphrase in browser storage that we cannot read from). If you lose the passphrase, you can reset device sync and start again, but it'd be best to store the passphrase somewhere secure.

For now, device sync only synchronizes wallet sending credentials between your devices, but in the future it will also be used for other types of secure storage like encrypted messaging keys, ecash notes, nostr keys, etc.

Most of the device sync technical design and code was written by @rblb who has been helping us out for the last month or so.

You can attach Blink for receives now (via @rblb)

There are a bunch of little bug fixes and other stuff here and there in this release, but not much worth mentioning.
