I traced Wave 1 of the Coldcard drain from the weak firmware RNG to 1,195 victim addresses, reconstructed 328 seeds covering 949.7 BTC, and found clues in the attacker’s sweep code.
The final 153 addresses remain unexplained.

If the address hasn't been used if you keep hitting new address you'll eventually get back to it. But a proper address viewer is planed. Same with verifying. But can't do it get.

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

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?

He says spammer or pedo, but ya I agree he needs to stop ascribing bad intent too.
Also to be fair you suggested he would spam the chain with CP if BIP110 fails.

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.

Cove Android Beta finally available on the playstore!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bitcoinppl.cove

2026-01-14 13:55:50 UTC

- reply

I like this proposal - it's simpler than ours and the stateless design is really elegant.
But it's not flexible enough for our use case. Two main concerns:
1. Doesn't support imported wallets
2. No good UX if passkey is deleted. User would have to create a new passkey/wallet, then decide how to transfer funds - consolidate all UTXOs in one transaction and lose privacy? Or transfer UTXO by UTXO and lose funds to fees?

2026-01-14 13:49:54 UTC

- reply

biometrics is only required for accessing the passkey.
PIN or biometric for signing a transaction is a wallet level decision. You can set this up in Cove to require it right now.

This is something I could add for sure. Allow users to import multi-sig public descriptors. I’ll create an issue in GitHub. But I have the next little while planned so probably won’t be done for a while.
Can you tell me more about your use case and why would prefer using Cove in this way vs something like Nunchuk?

2025-12-31 01:11:26 UTC

- reply

Multisig support is not planned, that and lightning support are explicitly things Cove will not support because we believe there are already great wallets for that (Nunchuk, Phoenix, Bull bitcoin etc..) and adding those features would complicate Cove and it would no longer be Simple.

2025-12-23 23:49:28 UTC

- reply

It’s in the roadmap, but not until later. I’m prioritizing less advance features, main focus is currently getting good cloud back up going.
I usually use passphrases with hardware wallets. Haven’t ever used it with a hot wallet. Can you tell me more about your use case?

2025-12-23 23:47:30 UTC

- reply

Awesome! Glad it’s working nicely
If you get a chance to leave a review on Apple that would be greatly appreciated.
I’d like Cove to show up in the App Store search when people search “Cove”. Right now you gotta search for “Cove Wallet”. Thanks!

2025-12-18 17:16:21 UTC

I've been working on a proposal for a new way to do trustless, end-to-end encrypted backups of hot wallets for Cove using Passkeys.
I will work with @nprofile…67t3 to turn this initial proposal into a proper spec.
Please give it look and give us any feedback you have

2025-12-03 22:55:34 UTC

UR is a terrible standard for QRs, it's actually terrible, needlessly complex and you always end up with more QRs than BBQr.
All hardware wallet manufacturers should switch to BBQr and please just let UR die.
With all that being said, UR support is coming to covewallet soon...

2025-11-13 15:14:23 UTC

It’s a term used to mean a wallet that you use on a device that only has the public key. So you can view your transactions, but you can’t send bitcoin without a signer.
Traditionally phones didn’t have good integration with hardware wallets, so they really were “watch only”. But now that there’s hww and phone apps that work well together, the term doesn’t make as much sense. Because can create the send txn, on your phone, sign using hww and send from your phone.

2025-11-13 15:09:26 UTC

I don’t agree with that framing, filtering out a certain class of txns (spam) isn’t censorship.
Censorship is filtering out individual txns based on individual characteristics.
Filters have been around forever, they’ve been working just fine.
The busy body dumbfucks at core should have left things alone. If they wanted to tinker with fun little open source projects they should have found something else and left my money alone.
