Hello everyone!
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.

There are many wallets which are focused on pro-privacy and are open source. If you want to create a wallet that outperforms these, you need to ask yourself what they are lacking, what kind of problems they do not address and where you could improve on that.

I want to have more wallets that support Bitcoin Silent Payments, so far Cake wallet is the best option for this new feature, and it has other cool stuff.
There are also wallets that have integrated coinjoin like Wasabi, and best option for security is combination with open source hardware wallets.
Starting a brand new wallet in 2025 is not something I would do in 2025, but you can do your own thing.

Silent payments are an interesting concept. Most so for OP because the protocol is upgradeable and focuses on privacy.
I have not tried it out yet in cake wallet, but it seems like a promising concept.
