As a fanatic of programing, I was thinking on creating a crypto wallet with open-source, pro-privacy and a lot of security options.
I wanted to ask here if there is already a wallet with these qualities, and also that you give me ideas of whatever it takes to develop it.
One wallet kind I haven't seen (but I may be wrong) would be somethink like Monero's Feather.
Feather does not provide data about addresses to servers. Instead, it downloads ranges of blocks and then, on the user's machine, searches the blocks for relevant transactions, and then deletes the block data again.
You could imagine it as a "pruned (almost) full node without blockchain storage".
This has the big advantage that you don't leak address and transaction information to the full nodes / servers, which may be operated by chain analysis companies who gather information about "wallets".
I hope you are still around, otherwise my merit was too rushed
