It makes sense. Thank you for replying! 

More comfortable now to continue exploring Electrum wallet.

Hi all,

While I am not new to BTC wallets, I am new to Electrum. I decided to start learning / using Electrum as the one of the few open source solutions not relying on any company that might fail or change it's behavior in the future.


Verified the files (using GPG) prior to installing, used Testnet for practicing, and when I was getting ready to really start using it with Main net, I saw a pop up on my mac asking whether I wanted to grant permissions to Electrum for screen recording (allowing the application to record the content of my screen and audio even when NOT using the app, see screenshot below). Is this something that should be expected? If yes, what is the use case for that??
