Use an air-gapped Raspberry Pi Zero to sign for Bitcoin transactions! (and do other cool stuff)

Last update: Dec 31, 2022

Overview

Hello World!

Build your own offline, airgapped Bitcoin transaction signing device for less than $35! Also generate seed word 24 or generate a seed phrase from dice rolls!

The code is designed to ultimately be run on a Raspberry Pi Zero (version 1.3 with no wireless capability) with a Waveshare 1.3" 240x240 pxl LCD (more info at https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/1.3inch_LCD_HAT) and a Pi Zero-conpatible camera (tested to work with the Aokin 5MP 1080p with OV5647 Sensor Video Camera Module; other brands with that sensor module may work as well). Choose the Waveshare screen carefully (there are several similar models); make sure to purchase the model that has a resolution of 240x240 pixels.

The easiest way to get the signer up and running is to downloaded the "seedsigner_0_1_0.zip" file in the current release, extract the "seedsigner_0_1_0.img" file, and write it to a MicroSD card (at least 4GB in size or larger). Then install the MicroSD in the assembled hardware and off you go.

Newest Added Features:

Native Segwit Multisig Xpub generation w/ QR display
Scan and Parse transaction data from animated QR codes
Sign transactions & transfer xpub data using animated QR codes
New extensible menu system
Improved letter entry responsiveness
Various UX improvements
Various code optimizations
Project donation information
ORANGE text! (looks great with orange pill enclosure!)

Considerations:

BUG ALERT: Transaction confirmation screen includes change address in the total spending amount; transactions are processed by Specter correctly after signing. Will be corrected in the next release.
Built to be compatible with Specter-desktop Bitcoin wallet
Be patient, it takes a couple of minutes for the menu to come up after applying power to the Pi Zero (when you see the "static" you're almost there!)
Confirmed bug: a "bad" seed phrase that fails checksum validation will crash the app and you will need to restart the Pi
For now, ALWAYS opt to use animated QR codes in Specter-desktop
Mainnet is only option; test with SMALL AMOUNTS of bitcoin
Currently ONLY generating Native Segwit Multisig Xpubs
Scanning animated QRs into a PC is tricky, be aware of ambient light, glare and focus
(Holding the screen upside-down significantly reduces glare for some reason)
Display text is small; comes with 240x240 territory but ever trying to optimize
Check out our "seedsigner" telegram community for community help / feedback: (https://t.me/joinchat/GHNuc_nhNQjLPWsS)
If you think SeedSigner adds value to the Bitcoin ecosystem, please help me spread the word! (tweets, pics, videos, etc.)

Coming Improvements/Functionality:

Add support for single QR codes
Support for 12 word seeds
Reduce signed xpub data to decrease required QR images
Support for single signature Xpub key generation
Select from different display colors
Generate seed from internal entropy (maybe)
Other optimizations based on user feedback!

The software can also be installed using an internet-connected Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 or Zero W are as follows:

Install the Raspberry Pi Lite operating system (https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/) on a MicroSD card and install the card in a Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 or Zero W.

Connect a keyboard & monitor, or SSH into the Pi if you're familiar with that process.

sudo raspi-config

(set your localization options, configure WiFi if necessary, but most important: navigate to the "interface options" and enable the "SPI" interface; also make sure to enable the camera interface in raspi-config)

Reboot when prompted within the raspi-config interface

Install these dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wiringpi
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo apt-get install python3-numpy
sudo apt-get install python-pil
sudo apt-get install libopenjp2-7
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install python3-opencv
sudo apt-get install libzbar0
sudo apt-get install python3-picamera

Install this:

wget http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.60.tar.gz
tar zxvf bcm2835-1.60.tar.gz
cd bcm2835-1.60/
sudo ./configure
sudo make && sudo make check && sudo make install
cd ..

Install these python dependencies:

sudo pip3 install --verbose spidev
sudo pip3 install --verbose RPi.GPIO
sudo pip3 install --verbose pillow
sudo pip3 install --verbose embit
sudo pip3 install --verbose qrcode
sudo pip3 install --verbose imutils
sudo pip3 install --verbose pyzbar
sudo pip3 install --verbose argparse
sudo pip3 install --verbose imutils

Download SeedSigner

sudo git clone https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner

Modify the system config to run SeedSigner at boot:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local add sudo python3 /home/pi/seedsigner/main.py & to the line above exit 0

Use Control + O, then [enter], to write the file. Then use Control + X, to exit the program.

(Optional) Modify the system swap configuration to disable virtual memory:

sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile add CONF_SWAPSIZE=100 to CONF_SWAPSIZE=0

Use Control + O, then [enter], to write the file. Then use Control + X, to exit the program.

To shut down the pi:

sudo shutdown --poweroff now

Now either move the MicroSD card to a Pi Zero 1.3 with the 1.3-inch LCD Hat and camera installed, or the LCD Hat will also run fine on a Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 or Zero W; just remember to disable networking if you want to run the software in isolation.

It will take a couple of minutes after the Pi is powered on for the GUI to launch -- be patient!

Seed generated with dice rolls on 0.4.5 does not match seed generated with the coldcard rolls.py script

With the introduction of https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner/pull/109 I am following the guide on https://coldcard.com/docs/verifying-dice-roll-math to verify that the SeedSigner 0.4.5 and the Coldcard produce the same seed and I am seeing some differences.

Steps to reproduce

On SeedSigner 0.4.5 go to Seed Tools > Generate Seed with Dice

Enter 45 twos, followed by 54 fives. This will give you a seed 1. garden 2. uphold ... 23. feature 24. wave.

Perform the same using rolls.py and you will see that the seeds match:

% echo 222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555 | python3 rolls.py

  17: raw
  18: butter
  19: combine
  20: move
  21: produce
  22: foil
  23: feature
  24: wave

Repeat the test above, but replace the last five with a six. The SS will display

1. whale 2. monitor ... 23. capital 24. owner

However, this time rolls.py differs:

% echo 222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555556 | python3 rolls.py

Expected output

I would expect that the seed generated by SS 0.4.5 and rolls.py match for all dice rolls.

Correct last word

This addresses #132. By entering an additional random word, the user provides the remaining entropy, and then 4-8 bits of their provided entropy are overwritten by the checksum.

I've lightly tested this, but have no idea what I'm doing with UI/UX :)

Add Feature: Fast Automatic Seed Words Input

It would be nice to add a feature that allows for easy and fast input of the 12/24 seed words. For instance, by using the camera to scan a paper with the written words or its BIP39 corresponding number and applying OCR or a template made-for-purpose that would make the recognition easier. This way the user can keep the seed stored safely and once needed to sign, he or she would just present it in front of the camera for automatic input.

This could be an option, so users could choose to enter the words manually as it is done today, or via this new, fast, automatic method.

Verify Address Issue With Nunchuk On Testnet Only

When I use Seed Signer with Nunchuck on mainnet, everything works great!

But when I switch to testnet, export a xpub into Nunchuk, create a wallet with that xpub, I can't verify an address. The Seed Signer just keeps looking for that address counting up into the thousands of addresses until I tell it to stop looking.

This verify feature works just fine for me when Nunchuk is connect to a mainnet wallet. The issue is only on testnet. The Seed Sign knows it's looking for a Native Segwit Testnet Address, it just can't find it.

The fingerprint and derivation path on the Seed Signer and Nunchuk all match up, so I don't understand why the Seed Signer can't find and verify the address.

My Seed Signer version is 0.5.1

Randomise dice reset

At present, the selected dice value resets to 5 after each input of a dice roll.

To minimise the number of user inputs during seed generation via this method, the default value should randomly oscillate between 2 and 5. From the default 5 location, two inputs are required to reach 1/3 (but only one input to reach 4/6), whereas from a default 2 location two inputs are required to reach 4/6 (but only one to 1/3). By randomly selecting either 2/5 default with 50/50 probability for either selection, statistically the number of user inputs required will be minimised during the process of seed generation by dice rolls.

This PR proposes a very simple method to randomly select a 2/5 default, based on the value of the previous input. This method is sufficiently random to benefit the user provided that the assumption that the dice used to generate the seed is unbiased, is accurate.

Adds support to continue with the child seed into the backup verification flow.

Bugfix to prevent the KeyboardScreen from trying to submit when no input is provided.

UI tweak on keyboard layout for BIP85 child index input.

Split symbols keyboard
Replaces #267. Fixes #266.

Props to @initfortherekt for the original PR (#267) to address this issue which kicked off discussion which led to these more involved changes.

Adds the missing symbols, per #266.

Splits the symbols across two swappable keyboards.

The new swap cycle is: 123 -> !@# -> *[] and then circles back to 123.

The most common symbols (punctuation, most human-friendly) are on the first keyboard, mostly following the layout across the top of a typical physical keyboard).

Less common symbols (more math-related, less human-friendly) are on the second keyboard and will hopefully almost never need to be used in a typical passphrase.

Changes to ALL Keyboard instances across the code:

Changes how the additional_keys are displayed to set them apart from the normal keys and to reduce confusion with the < and > cursor position keys.

Further TODO items for future contributors:

Render the additional_keys with icons, especially the cursor position keys.

Add a popup symbol name when hovering over a symbol. Could be temporarily added to the current position in the TextEntryDisplay:

# As you navigate across the symbols: yourPassphrase[dollar sign] yourPassphrase[percent] yourPassphrase[ampersand] # Now click to lock that symbol in: yourPassphrase&

Rationale: Certain symbols are just hard to read clearly, especially ` vs ' and ~ vs -. An explicit "backtick", "tilda", etc readout would hopefully completely eliminate any such errors.

Bug signing 1-of-2 multisig transaction when recipient is same wallet

Both keys are SeedSigner testnet devices in Specter.

Transaction is sending coins back to a new addr in the same wallet.

SeedSigner is hanging on "Parsing PSBT"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 12, in <module>
    controller.start(DEBUG)
  File "/home/pi/seedsigner/controller.py", line 69, in start

  File "./helpers/psbt_signer.py", line 260, in change_fee_spend_amounts
    return (change, fee, spend, destinationaddress)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'destinationaddress' referenced before assignment

I can confirm that the same device/seed works fine signing a tx for an address in a different wallet. So it's just the self-send/cycling coins that seems to cause problems.

[Enhancement] Skip second seed selection & Discard PSBT option
Correction/Enhancing workflow related to selecting a seed after scanning a PSBT (when you've already selected the seed previously).

The skipping of the "second" seed selection requires these conditions:

PSBT was scanned from a previous selected seed menu

The fingerprint of the seed must match a input fingerprint in the PSBT (this means network settings also need to be correct).

Also add "Discard PSBT" at the bottom of the seed selection menu (after Discard Seed). This only appears if a PSBT was previously loaded (scanned) into memory and then the user backed out. This provides the user a way to discard the PSBT without having to complete the signing workflow or scan from the home menu.

[GitHub Issues]: Adding Templates for issues for better reviewability

Current Situation As I have been going through SeedSigner issues I have thought that there could be a better way to organize new issues and found out that GitHub supports templates for creating issues. Currently all new issues use the same format and that can make it a little more difficult to filter through issues and figure out what an issue is about.

Proposed Action I have made some sample templates that can be seen in my seedsigner repository issues (Note: the templates will only be active when they are part of the default branch for the repo). These are just some basic templates that I copied and edited from examples in the GitHub documentation and adjusted them to fit some of SeedSigner repo needs. These templates can automatically assign labels and assign ownership of issues if desired. In the example template for a feature request I also added a spot where the requester can offer to put up a bounty for the feature (just an idea).

Additionally I am wondering if it would be beneficial to enable discussions in the seed signer repo. You can see what discussions look like on the BlueWallet repo. I think it could be a good place for people to ask questions, get answers, share builds, discuss ideas that may not be the point of creating a new issues, etc. I have not previously used discussions so I cannot speak from experience, but it may be useful for the community. This could also be a place to redirect people that have questions or need help and avoid creating new issues that are not actual issues, but rather questions.

Passphrase Verification for Seed Backup Flow

I added a section to the end of the seed backup flow that will offer the opportunity for a user to verify their passphrase if the seed they are backing up has a passphrase. I made this up in response to issue #90 as a way for users to verify the passphrase in the backup process while still not showing the passphrase to the user again. This should work for both the seed word backup and the QR backup flows.

One thing that I did not implement in this flow that I think may be useful is a max number of attempts at passphrase verification (like 10 or something) before the seed gets wiped from memory.

Thoughts?

Shuffle SeedQR

Folks, I wrote this, not wanting to be arrogant, but wanting to improve this amazing project, please take this as constructive criticism.

I made some assumptions: If the equipment is stolen, you are safe. If the QRcode is exposed, everything is lost. (we are avoiding liability). If the QRcode is exposed, but it has Bip39 passphrase, it is safe, it can add some security, but it also adds complexity.

Have you considered using a shuffle algorithm to secure the SeedQR code? The option is to use Python to generate a secure random key or a deterministic key by equipment, and use this key as a seed for a shuffle algorithm like the Fisher-Yates shuffle. This will shuffle our QR code in a way that makes it useless if it is exposed or photographed( because the shuffle seed), and can be physically stored on SD card equipment. This can be a great way to protect user QrCode!

If the equipment is stolen and this key is extracted, and will, there is no risk. this key can even be generated and stay on the SD card clear text, it is only used to protect the SeedQRCode been exposed. If the QRcode is exposed, no risk without the seed to revert the shuffle.

Recoverability: But now we lose Recoverability, as the QRcode no longer matches the user's seed. Yea! And this can be solved if the shuffle seed is created deterministically using the seedphrases... so same seed phrases generate same key to shuffle, same key can be used to recover from a SeedQr Code.

It's important to understand that now we keep our backup keys (which may be 12 or 24 words long) safe and secure and hidded, and that the QR code we now generate and use on a daily basis (called the SeedQr) will be different from the backup seeds...

Here is some example in JS https://www.npmjs.com/package/seedrandom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher%E2%80%93Yates_shuffle

[GUI] More consistency in formatting buttons

@easyuxd, tagging you because I know you are the UX guy.

A couple of things that I want to change, but not sure if there is a reason they are the way they are.

One is the right carat in the two images below. The carat seems extra and inconsistent and I'm not entirely sure what it is conveying because every menu option leads me to a place where I am presented with more options (I get that the advanced one is indicating a submenu, but if it is going to have the carat I think it should be the very bottom button). Is there a reason that these need to be here or can they be taken out to be more consistent?

I'm also a little bit bothered by the fact that only one button on the Seed Options list has an icon. I think it would be more consistent to either have all buttons one way or the other rather than a mix of some with icons and some without. Below is an example of them all having icons on that list.

[Enhancement] Long Click Functionality

Implementing functionality to enable use of long click for any buttons. This came up in https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner/pull/286#issuecomment-1364563189 where the use case would be for long pressing the back button to abort all flows and go all the way back home instead of having to go back through the whole backstack.

Another possible use case would be to avoid accidental clicks for certain actions such as you have to long press the discard seed button when getting rid of a seed (I know that there is already a screen warning before this step). I think this could be a good functionality to have as it opens up different ways of developing the UX.

The Smart Scanning, Live Preview & Moar Entropy Release

This release introduces a smart QR scanning module, live preview, and enhancements to the seed-from-photo module.

Join our Telegram group for help building a signer and for all other things SeedSigner! https://t.me/joinchat/GHNuc_nhNQjLPWsS

To install on a MicroSD, download the file "seedsigner_0_4_4.zip", extract the .img file, and write that image to a MicroSD card (at least 4GB in size).

The UI will appear about 45 seconds after applying power to the device.

(Please note that our core air-gapped QR signing functionality is working reliably, however when making transactions with numerous inputs [UTXO consolidation] the volume of frames to scan in and out of SeedSigner can be large. We are working with wallet coordinator developers to optimize this process; like most software, it will get better and better with time.)

New Features:

Smart scanning identifies item scanned & adjusts workflow/settings accordingly

Screen displays live-preview during seed-from-photo & QR scanning modules

More entropy introduced to seed-from-photo module (CPU serial, milliseconds, frames)

Faster animated QR generation

Faster camera initialization

Persistent settings with SeedSigner reset option

Handling of no-camera-installed within I/O Test module

Prompt for wallet during XPUB export process

Warning message if seed does not correspond with PSBT

Considerations:

Built for compatibility with Specter v1.4.5 and up

Built for compatibility with Sparrow Wallet v1.4.2 and up

Built for compatibility with BlueWallet v6.1.9 and up

For testing/development using SSH, the device's network name is "seedsigner"
