Typical smoke screen, no transparency, just like Gates and Musk's blockchain antics.

Cove 1.3.0 Beta is available on TestFlight and Google Play Open Testing.

The biggest feature is the new Passkey based Cloud Backup and restore. Onboarding and multi account import is also very cool.

Full CHANGELOG

### Onboarding
- New setup flow for people creating their first wallet, importing an existing wallet, or restoring Cove
- Cove can now look for an existing Cloud Backup during setup
- New restore screens explain when a backup is found, unavailable, skipped, failed, or complete

### Cloud Backup
- Brand-new Cloud Backup support in 1.3.0
- Back up Cove using iCloud Drive on iOS or Google Drive on Android
- Restore wallets with a passkey after reinstalling Cove or setting up a new phone
- View backup status, sync progress, passkey issues, and cloud access problems from Settings
- Disable or delete Cloud Backup when you no longer want it enabled

### Wallet View
- Wallets now show scan progress while Cove checks transaction history
- Balances and transactions can appear before the full scan finishes
- Incoming unconfirmed funds are shown more clearly
- Scanning is faster and more reliable after retries, cancellations, or connection changes

### Receive
- Receive now keeps the same address for 5 minutes unless it gets used
- Cove watches the current receive address for incoming payments
- The receive screen shows when payment activity is detected
- Cove warns before copying an address that has already received funds

### Multi-Account Support
- Cove can now import separate wallets that use different Bitcoin account numbers
- Duplicate wallet detection now understands account numbers instead of treating every matching fingerprint as the same wallet
- Non-default account numbers are shown in wallet settings
- Wrapped SegWit, legacy, and no-fingerprint wallet imports are handled more accurately
- Cloud Backup and restore use the improved wallet identity checks too

### Send
- Amount entry is stricter about unsafe pasted text, such as addresses or wrong unit labels
- Hardware send and PSBT handling received reliability fixes

### Settings and Security
- New About screen with version, build, commit, and feedback details
- Local wallet data now uses stronger encrypted storage
- Seed phrase and sensitive backup screens have stronger screenshot protection on Android
- Settings now show clearer Cloud Backup, wallet, and security status messages

### Reliability and Polish
- Updated wallet engine to BDK 3.0.0
- Better startup recovery if migration or restore is interrupted
- More consistent status colors and UI polish across iOS and Android

Single color background segment like below, in wallet color possibly. Or gradient segment like the second image. Hard line edges in backgrounds distract. A softly stylized procedurally generated bezier wave roll might also work, like the icon logo, with a light curl animation possibly. https://imag...

Built a native Mac app to help manage PRs on @covewallet, it’s very unpolished since it’s just for me. But it’s useful

Lets me track which PRs need my attention, lets me run codex reviews in worktrees and directly add the codex findings to the PR

Should I opensource it? Anyone interested in helping polish it up?

Luke is a thief that runs tax scam " I lost my Bitcoin, Help me!" fundraisers to wash his sats. Everyone who has donated to that guy did so under false pretences. I rate him 0.3/1.0 Altman's on the scammer scale.

Bro you call everyone on X “fuck face” nonstop when they calmly explain their side of the argument to you.

This line of attack doesn’t make a lot of sense. You need to ignore the trolls that attack you baselessly. They don’t represent everyone that supports BIP110.

The trolls try to paint you as a bad actors, you try to paint Luke and Mechanic as bad actors.

I think all of you mean well but disagree on what is bad for bitcoin and what isn’t.

The people you’re attacking want what’s best for bitcoin too like you, because like you most of their wealth is also in bitcoin.

There has to be room for some compromise and understanding here.

Ignore the trolls.

LN, and possibly switch that background image to something uniform. Then reduce dependencies until it can build as Swift package in Swift Playground on iPad to lower the entry bar. Thanks for the current work, love the Liquid Glass.
