Yeah it feels hacky because its money and if you try to obfuscate the technical reality of what's going on the user is going to freak out that they lost their money over something that can actually be solved.
On the sane end of the spectrum, I submitted this issue with padawan wallet on how it could be more hand holdy (since its purpose is to introduce new users to using Bitcoin for the first time). https://github.com/thunderbiscuit/padawan-wallet/issues/325
Your design doesn't look bad per se though. Would prefer not to name a specific product in the software and be sort of product agnostic in design (this is what specs are for)
I bias towards more complexity rather than less though. The less complex designs are already out there and working in my view afterall
(A more complex wallet https://wizardsardine.com/liana/)
yeah agreed that I might be trying to fit a square peg in a round hole here. The existing options are undoubtedly sufficient and I'm not sure my product would end up doing anything that theirs already can't.
I was wondering who wizardsardine was looking at my rust dependancies... I am already using so much of their code for integration I should probably just contribute to them haha. Thanks for this reference.
