Sorted. Thanks for the heads up.

Some wallets (eg Trezor Suite) do not allow you to create a second account if the first one is unused. Sparrow does, however. Otherwise all correct.

You can do it with Sparrow, how much it helps is difficult to say - depends on your threat model.

Agree

Download from https://sparrowwallet.com/download/, verify and install - the method differs depending on your OS

Just added in v2.3.1

Best to update for that, currency rate providers change APIs

Sparrow v2.3.1 has been released to restore BIP32 derivations for consolidation payments in PSBTs.

In addition, hiding amounts is now supported, and the keystores that signed a multisig transaction are now shown on the transaction tab.

Frigate v1.2.0 has been released.

Frigate is an experimental Electrum server testing efficient Silent Payments scanning with ephemeral keys.

The major feature in this release is GPU acceleration of the cryptographic computation required for Silent Payments scanning. This provides a dramatic (over 10x) performance improvement over CPU computation, and makes a public Silent Payments Electrum server a practical reality for the first time.

To learn more, see https://github.com/sparrowwallet/frigate

Silent payment addresses are a new form of static payment address, where the actual bitcoin address that you send to is determined from both the silent payment address and the transaction inputs.

This means you can pay to the same silent payments address while ensuring bitcoin addresses are never reused. This both simplifies the payment experience and makes it more private, at the cost of increasing the burden on the recipient to scan incoming transactions for their payments.

Sparrow v2.3.0 released with:

Send to Silent Payments
Pay to DNS address
Min fee rate from server
