Bitcoin.Review Podcast with NVK & Guests
The New Standard for Message Signing
Sparrow 1.7.8 was released this week, and the headline feature is Taproot Message Signing. So you can now create a signature for any message with a Taproot address. The next is sort of QR code reading. If you've struggled to read QR codes in the past, it's likely that things have been dramatically improved now.
I'm joined by guests Craig Raw, James O'Beirne, & Rijndael to go through the list.
