Why Open-Source & Non-Custodial Tooling Matters
Centralized exchanges and analytics services monetize users by selling trading metadata, building surveillance heuristics, and tracking wallet interactions. SatoshiWall was architected from the ground up to operate without custody, without database tracking, and without user profiling.
Supported Bitcoin Address Types
- Legacy (P2PKH - Starts with '1'): Original address format using Pay-to-PubKey-Hash. Widely compatible but higher transaction byte overhead.
- Nested SegWit (P2SH - Starts with '3'): Pay-to-Script-Hash wrapper allowing SegWit discounts on legacy-compatible wallets.
- Native SegWit (Bech32 - Starts with 'bc1q'): Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash providing superior transaction fee efficiency and checksum protection.
- Taproot (Bech32m - Starts with 'bc1p'): BIP341/342 upgrade introducing Schnorr signatures, MAST privacy, and complex spending script consolidation.
