Bitcoin After Life Electrum Plugin

Free and decentralized Bitcoin inheritance support for Electrum: build time-locked "will" transactions that transfer your funds to your heirs if you stop refreshing them (dead-man's switch), optionally relayed by will-executor servers.

Key behaviours

  • Anticipate / postpone safety: changing the delivery time of an already-signed will is handled safely. Postponing a signed/sent will first asks you to invalidate the old transaction on-chain (so a will-executor can never broadcast the earlier-locktime transaction and execute the inheritance too early), then lets you rebuild and re-send the new one via the Prepare button on the WILL tab.
  • "Server" column: the will transaction list shows whether each transaction is actually stored on the will-executor servers (Confirmed on server, Sent (not checked), Send failed, Not on server, Signed (not sent), Not sent), with a tooltip showing the will-executor URL.

See the top-level README.md for installation and testing.
