Users can choose between the Keystone device or the Sparrow Wallet app to generate receive addresses for BTC. But it’s recommended to use Keystone to view or generate receive addresses due to safety concerns. (This way you can verify that the receiving address is actually correct or not, because the internet-connected instance is prone to malware.)
1. On Keystone: Touch [Addresses] to display the receiving addresses. (You can optionally generate more addresses that the device can display for you.)
2. On Sparrow Wallet: Click [Receive] to display the receiving addresses. (You can also go into the Addresses menu and use any address displayed, but we mainly recommend using the ones via Receive.)
1) Run Sparrow Wallet. Click [Send] and set the receive address, label, amount, and fee. Click [Create Transaction].
2) Click on [Finalize Transaction for Signing].
Tips: Here users can choose to sign the transaction via QR code or microSD card.
