Unlike many commercial wallets, it's built from OFF-THE-SHELF COMPONENTS. Anyone can get one without providing personal data or needing a specific store. Even if Bitcoin hardware is banned in a totalitarian regime, the Specter DIY offers discreet access to a signing device.
The Specter DIY is fully OPENSOURCE enhancing security by allowing anyone to review and use the code without permission. For example, the SeedSigner and Krux projects use much of the Specter DIY Code.
The device is BITCOIN and Liquid ONLY. Supporting no altcoins. With a smaller codebase, there are fewer opportunities for vulnerabilities.
The Specter DIY operates AIR-GAPPED, with no physical connection Wi-Fi-connected devices, ensuring sensitive data like private keys remain secure. It communicates via QR codes or SD card, ensuring transparency so you can clearly understand the transaction signing process.
The device has a LARGE smartphone-like TOUCHSCREEN, offering a comfortable interface for smooth air-gapped communication, easy entry of seed words, and convenient navigation. This display simplifies tasks that are very cumbersome on smaller devices.
The Specter DIY is primarily a signing device and DOES NOT STORE SEED WORDS internally, enhancing security. Seed phrases need to be written down and re-entered manually. Alternatively, you can store the seed phrase on an unencrypted SD card or use SeedQR for easy import.
Since the seed phrase is not stored, the owner can create multiple MULTI SIGNATUR Wallets with only one device. Or act as "UNCLE JIM" and help family and friends set up a secure, watch-only wallet. Sharing the device requires minimal trust as the device could be tampered with.
One of the key features of the Specter DIY is its ability to integrate very transparent REAL-WORLD RANDOMNESS into seed phrase generation, such as by flipping coins. This helps safeguard against all potential attacks associated with weak seed entropy.
With BIP85 support, users can derive multiple child seeds from a single master seed. This feature is particularly useful for those managing multiple Bitcoin wallets, simplifying seed management for less important Seedphrases as well.
