BalPlugin
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.
