One of the reason for which I would probably download this wallet and give it a try is the possibility to import Electrum wallets. AFAIK, bluewallet is the only wallet that supports importing electrum seeds.
More users will be interested in using it if they release a mobile version.
I agree with posts above, it too early to trust them with our coins as it's still relatively new and we are not sure how secure it is.

Yes, this transaction viewer acts something like personal explorer, and if you run your own node then you don't need to use any web explorer to check your transactions.
Source code is also open, and anyone can check if it is good, and I would like to see testnet integration, so that more people could try using it with testBTC.

If this wallet is a scam then I think it is a high level of scammers.
They have some unique features that I've never heard of before, such as:
Despite all the details, it is not mentioned how the seeds are managed, the cold storage, and the lightning network.
Generally, I'll give it a try when I have some time.

fully featured transaction editor that also functions as a blockchain explorer. This feature not only allows easy editing of all of a transaction’s fields, (including for example locktime and sequence),
Sparrow is desktop focussed and uses a configuration of Argon2 (winner of the Password Hashing Competition in 2015)
With all this power, the transaction viewer doubles as a private blockchain explorer.

Was going to take a look because I will play a little with anything.
But why are you using Java to build?. A lot, possibly even most security people see java / java script and run screaming in the other direction.
I don't care one way or the other, but you might want to look at another alternative.

Hey Dave
I am not using java or anything, and this is not my wallet project, but I am just testing it because I think it is good that other major wallets have some competition.
We don't want developers to get to lazy, and I like to post something new here in forum so that everyone can explore it.
Cheers

IMO, it poses no danger to Ledger's keys.
Yeap, not that much risk(as far as I know) since you verify the transaction details on the Ledger device itself anyway. But I was referring to actually using this wallet for generating and actually storing the keys(and not just making transactions like when connecting a hardware wallet to it).
Looks pretty slick— UI looks clean without sacrificing functionality and features.
With that said, I agree with bitmover that I don't think people should use this new wallet for storing keys with high-valued holdings unless you can verify the code and compile it yourself. I'm personally going to wait this out and wait til it gets a bit more publicity.

It is a beautiful wallet.
I have some mixed feelings about wallets.
I am very satisfied with the wallets I use (software and hardware). They dominate the market somehow
Just like I think oligopolies are bad for everyone, I don't risky trying new wallets.
I trust my money in ledger, trezor and electrum. I wouldn't trust sparrow, at least not with a huge amount. But I could try this wallet for small amounts, if it brings something very new which I would use.
