View only wallet

[kdbaseball8]

Be great if a view only wallet could be developed similar to Bitcoin. The wallet could receive and view all BEAM and CA transactions but the spend keys could be kept offline. Bitcoin allows for unsigned transactions to be signed by offline computer which would be a nice feature to be added to BEAM.

This would increase the security options for storing BEAM.

Hey, we will discuss it with the devs. I will let you know when I have news about this.

Generally speaking, I’d say there is a complete lack of GUI air gap wallets, not just beam. But yes, would totally go for that if I could. There is a pair of android apps called airgap wallet / airgap vault but the list of supported coins is quite small. I think there is some hardware wallet support but not tried it out because the desktop wallet only does one account at a time.

With Wallet v8.0 you will be able to have multiple accounts in your wallet.

1. Multi account / Multi network wallet

NEED / PROBLEM:
Current versions of Beam Wallet are built to work with a single network (Mainnet or Dappnet) and only allow for a single Account (identified by a specific seed phrase). This requires users who are working with several accounts or on different networks to install several binaries and manipulate several wallet folders which is not easy to do for most users.

PROPOSED SOLUITON:

• Build network / account selection into the login flow of the wallet.
• Ability to add new accounts should also be supported.
• Each Account will be accompanied by a label, to easily differentiate between accounts.
• Logout will return the user to the login screen where a different account and network can be selected
