As an owner of the piper I still see use cases for it today.

there is nothing better to use the snippets for wallet apps like bluewallet.io - you can watch or spend by only scanning the private or public key and you have a secure backup if your device fail.

the problem with piper v1 is, that it uses the oldschool keygeneration - with them there a higher transaction fees as needed today.

I would would be a dream to have the following feature in v2:

  • A setting to generate HD wallet keypairs from a given BIP39 mnemonic seed and optional BIP39 passphrase.
  • Access to the seed over a USB-Stick.
  • manage an optional passphrase and printing over the gui on an attached monitor or Raspi Touchscreen.

This gives more security in case a piper snippet gets lost and options for new use cases.[/b]

What do you think about this feature?
