Bitcoin Safe

Bitcoin Safe is a desktop wallet for secure Bitcoin savings. It supports single signature and multisig with hardware wallets, includes a guided setup wizard for easy onboarding, and combines user-friendly design with advanced features like wallet synchronization and multi-party collaboration.

Features

Bech32

Bech32 is a special address format made possible by SegWit (see the feature description for SegWit for more info). This address format is also known as 'bc1 addresses'. Some Bitcoin wallets and services do not yet support sending or receiving to Bech32 addresses.
Hardware Wallet

Some wallets can pair and connect to a hardware wallet in addition to being able to send to them. While sending to a hardware wallet is something most all wallets can do, being able to pair with one is a unique feature. This feature enables you to be able to send and receive directly to and from a hardware wallet.
Multisig

Some wallets have the ability to require more than one key to authorize a transaction. This can be used to divide responsibility and control over multiple parties.
SegWit

Some wallets support SegWit, which uses blockchain space more efficiently. This helps reduce fees paid by helping the Bitcoin network scale and sets the foundation for second layer solutions such as the Lightning Network.
Taproot

Some wallets support Taproot, which can increase privacy and use blockchain space more efficiently for complex transactions such as multisig. Some Bitcoin wallets and services do not yet support sending or receiving to the Bech32m addresses (which begin with 'bc1p') which Taproot uses.

Criteria

Control

Control over your money

Good

This wallet gives you full control over your bitcoins. This means no third party can freeze or lose your funds. You are however still responsible for securing and backing up your wallet.

Validation

Decentralized validation

Acceptable

This wallet connects to a random server from a list. This means some trust in third parties is required when verifying payments. However, it is not as secure as a full node like Bitcoin Core.

Transparency

Complete transparency

Good

The source code for this wallet is public and the build process is deterministic. This means any developer in the world can audit the code and make sure the final software isn't hiding any secrets.

Environment

Vulnerable environment

Caution

This wallet can be loaded on computers which are vulnerable to malware. Securing your computer, using a strong passphrase, moving most of your funds to cold storage, or enabling two-factor authentication can make it harder to steal your bitcoins.

Privacy

Basic privacy

Acceptable

Prevents spying on your payments

Acceptable

This wallet makes it harder to spy on your balance and payments by rotating addresses. You should still take care to use a new Bitcoin address each time you request payment.

Discloses information to a third party

Caution

This wallet uses central servers which are able to associate your payments together and log your IP address.

Tor can be used

Acceptable

This wallet lets you setup and use Tor as a proxy to prevent attackers or Internet service providers from associating your payments with your IP address.

Fees

Full control over fees

Good

This wallet gives you full control over fees. This means that this wallet allows changing the fees after funds are sent using RBF or CPFP. This wallet also provides fee suggestions based on current network conditions so that your transactions are confirmed in a timely manner without paying more than you have to.
