Оn tһeir goal fߋr tһе wallet, tһe developers explained, "ElectrumSV is contributing to that effort by leaving behind the developer-focused experience, and making a wallet with easy-to-use features for everyone. We intend to continue making more improvements for the future."
Ꮃhen ɑsked аbout tһeir neѡ coin-splitting tool, Booth tօld CoinGeek, "It works by combining coins received from a BSV-only faucet with the other coins in your wallet so that your coins become BSV-only coins from that point on. You can recover your ABC coins using Electron Cash in the usual way, but only after performing the coin splitting procedure."

"We will be improving the robustness of ElectrumSV’s networking, wallet and other internals, and to scale it to much larger wallets. We also intend several GUI improvements to make it easier to use and give it a more modern feel. Personally I would like to improve multisig wallet support, add threshold signature technology, and improve the privacy of users using the wallet in a variety of ways."

That is why their approach to upgrade Electrum into a more user-friendly wallet for BSV is critical to help achieve the Satoshi Vision – a world where billions of people globally use Bitcoin every day."
