Fully Noded vs Air Gap Transfer

Your node, your Bitcoin! Fully Noded is a bitcoin wallet that is powered completely by your own node over Tor. This makes using Bitcoin a truly self sovereign, private and secure experience, exactly the way it should be. Fully Noded offers an intuitive yet powerful interface where the home screen displays stats about the Bitcoin network as seen by your node, the active wallet tab offers a powerful but simple wallet experience that allows you to utilize single signature and multi signature wallets. Fully Noded uses psbt’s (partially signed bitcoin transactions) and output descriptors to take advantage of the latest and greatest functionality the Bitcoin Core codebase has to offer. With this architecture Fully Noded always keeps your private keys safely encrypted and securely stored on your device, users always have the ability to delete their seed words from the device and add them later at anytime. Fully Noded never stores your private keys on your node. Generally the way it works is Fully Noded uses a Bitcoin library called LibWally to sign transactions locally and create private keys locally. Your node acts a watch-only wallet and builds psbt’s which Fully Noded signs without letting your private keys get exposed to network requests. Fully Noded is also a powerful recovery tool, you can add any BIP39 recovery phrase and it will recover all of the popular wallets for you. The app offers excellent interoperability with Coldcard, just airdrop wallet export files and psbt’s to Fully Noded and watch the magic happen, using your Coldcard as a watch-only or multisig wallet powered by your own node has never been easier.

Air Gap Transfer moves a file from one phone to another using nothing but the screen and the camera. One device turns your file into a moving pattern of codes. The other points its camera at that screen and rebuilds the file as it watches. No Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no cable, no cloud, no account, and no pairing. WHY Sometimes the network is the problem. You are on a locked-down guest Wi-Fi. AirDrop is disabled by policy. The other phone is on a different platform. The machine you are working with is deliberately kept off every network. Or you simply do not want a copy of your file passing through somebody else's server. Air Gap Transfer needs none of that infrastructure. If the two devices can see each other, they can talk. BUILT TO SURVIVE A SHAKY HAND Holding a phone perfectly still for a minute is not realistic, so the app does not ask you to. The file is spread across the stream with error correction, and the receiver keeps whatever it catches. Miss a fifth of the frames to blur, a passing hand or a glance away, and the transfer still completes. Nothing has to be sent twice and nothing has to be restarted. Every recovered file is checked against four separate checksums before it is offered to you. If it does not match exactly, you are told, rather than handed a quietly corrupted file. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE There is no server to leave it to. The app has no networking code at all. Your files are read, encoded and displayed entirely on your own phone. The camera sees frames, decodes them in memory and discards them; nothing is recorded. HONEST ABOUT SPEED This is light travelling between two screens, not a network. Expect a small document or photo rather than a video library — files are capped at 32 MB, and a megabyte takes around a minute. For anything that fits, it works anywhere, including places nothing else does. A companion web version lets a laptop act as either end.
