BAL QR export now ships a fixed 11-char 'BAL1<TTT><iii><F><payload>' header (3-char base36 zero-padded count fields, cap 46655 frames) and, by default, the shorter of plain vs zlib+base64 (flag '0'/'Z'). parse_frame remains dual: legacy 'BALQR1|total|index|flags|' frames still import. detect_format accepts 'BAL1'. New exports are not readable by builds older than this change. Also add a will-detail test for heir/willexecutor addresses and decoded OP_RETURN payloads. Docs updated (CHANGELOG, COMPATIBILITY, PLAN_QR_TRANSFER, README); 345 core tests + 89 GUI tests pass.
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
