Did you know @SpecterWallet is actually mostly just a UI layer on top op BTC Core?
- Wallet setup: Specter calls Core's "createwallet" and "importdescriptors"
- Creating transaction: Specter asks Core to build the transaction with the "walletcreatefundedpsbt" method
- Broadcasting transaction uses "sendrawtransaction" of Core directly
@SparrowWallet is very loved by the bitcoiner community and rightly so.
But Specter is such and underrated underdog and a great fit for multi-sig also!
Bitcoin core doesn't even have UI support in its wallet to create multi-sig wallets, yet. Specter comes closest to exactly that, today.

Currently the email providers of several Bitcoin projects, incl. two hardware wallet firms, were compromised. Phishing emails are circulating.
Affected provider: Brevo.
Our newsletter subscribers and specter.solutions are not affected by this incident. We use EmailOctopus
🚨 SECURITY WARNING 🚨
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) has reportedly been compromised. Phishing emails impersonating CoinTracking, Trezor and BitBox and likely several others in the industry are currently making the rounds.
DO NOT:
❌ Click any links
❌ Download attachments
❌ Enter your seed phrase anywhere online
Your seed NEVER belongs on a website. Ever.
Please warn others.

🚨Warning: This is not only hitting us.
Same hacking campaign is also standing up fake sites for:
@fold_app
@PhoenixWallet
They then trick people into installing malware that hands the attacker remote control of the pc.

Thanks to the help of our awesome @SpecterWallet and @SpecterDIY Community, we found out very quickly that the scammers used @vercel to host their domain.
So I reported them.
Hope they will get shut down soon.

Our Lead Specter Desktop Developer @k9ert analysed the FAKE-Specter Desktop Installer from the Clone Site.
It does not install Specter Desktop. The download is a dropper. It requests admin rights behind a Microsoft-signed "Windows Command Processor" UAC prompt, briefly adds a Defender exclusion, silently installs an unattended ConnectWise ScreenConnect client with SYSTEM-level remote control, then opens a genuine signed DocuSign print driver so the install looks legitimate.
You get a real DocuSign product. You do not get Specter. You do get a persistent backdoor hidden from Add/Remove Programs that survives Safe Mode. There is no wallet stealer in the file itself. The operator gets hands-on-keyboard access later and uses that channel afterwards.
If you ran it: isolate the machine immediately. Do not try to clean it. Rebuild from known-good media. Rotate every credential used on that host. Treat wallet seeds, hot wallets, exchange keys and anything reachable from that PC as compromised. Move funds from a clean device only.

I'm currently trying to figure out which people have been affected by the fake emails so I can send out warnings and further narrow down the problem.
If you've been affected, please message me on X or email me at my official Specter email address:

If you're moving your Bitcoin into a complicated setup (e.g. multi-vendor multisig) that you don't have plans to touch for years, @SpecterWallet and @ElectrumWallet let you create pre-signed Timelock Recovery transactions that can move the Bitcoin to a simple single-vendor wallet.
Can't figure out how to operate the multisig wallet you configured 5 years ago? Just broadcast the pre-signed transactions, and within 90 days (configurable) the Bitcoin moves to the simple wallet.
More info: TimelockRecovery.com
Lots of people are changing how they store their bitcoin right now, whether that means switching hardware wallets or moving to a custodian.
Whatever you choose, practice using it. Know how to secure your access, deposit, withdraw, spend, and recover your funds.
The first time you really need to use your setup shouldn’t be during an emergency.

⚠️Specter Clone Scammers renamed their app into Vernyx.
Do not install the new app even though it has a new name!
🚨 Specter Clone scammers just called me.
“Name and logo were coincidence, we didn't know that a Wallet with Same Logo and Same name is existing since 6 years, we’re renaming the app into Vernyx, please delete your scam posts.”🤡
These impostors think they can gaslight their way out of being exposed.
⚠️Vernix is the fund-draining app. New wrapper. Still thieves.
There is NO official Specter mobile app.
Don’t get rugged.
(Quote my previous warning if you’re not brain-dead.)

Do not install Specter from Apple app store. Specter does not have a mobile app. This is malicious software.

Great English Tutorial about the timelock recovery plugin from @SpecterWallet and how to use it with @SpecterDIY 🧡
It's very smart to add that on top of any wallet setup.
Especially fot the complicated ones.
@SpecterDIY's latest version now displays something no other hardware wallet (AFAIK) currently shows in Bitcoin transactions: Relative Locktimes.
Locktimes may not matter much for day-to-day spending, but they become important when working with pre-signed transactions intended to be broadcast in the future - for example in a Timelock Recovery plan, where you should verify the cancellation period between the initiation and final transfer of funds.
In this video, we will:
1. Create a Timelock Recovery plan using @SpecterWallet (Specter Desktop - available on @umbrel) together with the @SpecterDIY hardware wallet.
2. Export the pre-signed transactions in #BIP128 JSON format.
3. Import the file into the RITREK Android app for monitoring.
4. Learn how to execute the recovery-plan both with the RITREK app and without it.
5. Lean how to cancel the recovery-plan within the cancellation period, after it was initiated.
If you're hodling BTC for the far future behind a complicated multisig/SLIP39/passphrase setup, and you're worried your future self, or your inheritors, may struggle to recover it safely - this video is for you!
