Version 1.7.0  is released:  https://github.com/andreasgriffin/bitcoin-safe/releases

In my view, to burst onto the highly tight wallet market  a new wallet needs to offer something extraordinary and highly anticipated by regular users, full i^{ncluding address generation and sending} support for BIP352 for example. Yes, we have the Silentium wallet, which fully supports BIP352, but it’s a short tailed project that exists only as a web app rather than the fully featured wallet. For this reason every time you announce the new release I expect to see Silent Payment implemented, but there has been no such feature so far.

Is support for Silent Payment on your roadmap?

Yes SP will be integrated in Bitcoin Safe if possible. It's being worked on here https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk-sp to integrate it in BDK.  When that is done we need Hardware signer support, which will be critical.  SP   has the downside that you cannot verify the destination address is correct. You have to trust the hardware signer.  Also, SP gets complicated in the multisig case.
Tldr: Sp is awesome, but there needs a lot of work to be done until it becomes a smooth experience with hardware signers.

Good, thanks.

Another hot topic in the field is support for MiniScript.

AFAIK, this language is currently supported by only two wallets, namely,  Liana and Nunchuk.

What about Bitcoin Safe? I’m aware that it doesn’t support MiniScript at the moment, but is there any hope that it might be added in one of future releases?
