|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What is Bitcoin After Life Protocol for?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It is a software designed to manage the inheritance of your Bitcoin stored with a seed phrase (private key). It also allows you to create an emergency backup of your wallet in case you lose your seed. The protocol uses time-locked transactions sent to Will-Executor servers, which broadcast them to the Bitcoin network at the pre-set delivery date." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Who invented it and when?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It is not known exactly who the author or developer is — there are likely more than one. It is an open-source software, belonging to everyone, just like Bitcoin. The first public post about Bitcoin After Life was published on BitcoinTalk on 31 October 2024 (Samhain), signed by Svatantrya. The code is open to all, and anyone can contribute to its development through donations." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Why a plugin for Electrum rather than a dedicated wallet?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Because Electrum is hyper-tested and considered the gold standard among Bitcoin wallets. The BAL plugin does not sign transactions itself — that is entirely Electrum's job. This design choice maximises security and means users can trust the signing process completely independently of BAL." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How much does an inheritance or wallet backup cost on BAL?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "An inheritance costs two fees, both paid exclusively in Bitcoin — no subscriptions, no credit cards. A miner fee chosen by the user at signing (higher is recommended), and a Will-Executor fee deducted directly from the inheritance at the moment of execution." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How are Will-Executor fees set?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Will-Executors are free to set their own commissions to cover server running costs. The fees are visible on the official WeList website and directly inside the plugin. It is strongly advised not to manually lower them, as the server may reject the transaction." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What is a Will-Executor?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Will-Executor servers are the beating heart of the BAL Protocol. They receive your pre-signed, time-locked transactions, store them securely, and broadcast them to the Bitcoin network at the pre-set delivery date. They cannot alter or steal the transaction because it is already fully signed by you." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Do I need a powerful machine to run a Will-Executor server?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No — with the latest versions of the software, even the smallest VPS is sufficient. The earnings are medium-to-long term: the Will-Executor collects Bitcoin fees when the inheritance transactions it holds reach their delivery date." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I use the BAL plugin to back up my wallet?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — you need to have a second wallet already set up as the destination (for example a BlueWallet on your phone). If you lose access to your original wallet and no longer open Electrum before the delivery date, the funds will be automatically sent to the backup address." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How do I set up an inheritance?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It is very simple: the plugin includes a step-by-step guided wizard. You set the Delivery time (the future broadcast date) and the Check Alive period. Full instructions are available on bitcoin-after.life." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the Check Alive parameter?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The Check Alive is a parameter defining the inactivity period after which the BAL plugin asks whether you want to postpone your inheritance delivery date. Example: if you set an inheritance 2 years from today with a 6-month Check Alive, and you open Electrum after 7 months, the plugin prompts you to postpone — since you are still alive, you push the date back to 2 years from today again. If you never open Electrum before the delivery date, Will-Executors broadcast the inheritance automatically." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Does the BAL plugin work on Electrum Portable?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — from version 4.7.0 onwards, the BAL plugin is fully compatible with Electrum Portable, making it usable on older PCs or in offline / air-gapped environments." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I use the BAL plugin with a hardware wallet?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — the BAL plugin is compatible with any hardware wallet supported by Electrum (Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard, BitBox02, Jade, KeepKey and others)." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What happens if my wallet balance changes after setting up the inheritance?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The plugin monitors your UTXO balance every time you close Electrum. If it detects a change (funds sent or received), it will automatically prompt you to update the inheritance transaction to reflect the new balance." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I add my own server to the WeList?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — the WeList (the official Will-Executor directory) is open to everyone. Adding your server requires a donation of approximately 30,000 satoshis to cover the management costs of the official list." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Is the plugin easy to use?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — the plugin was designed to be used by everyday people, not just technical users. The guided wizard simplifies every step of the process." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Is a BAL 2.0 version planned?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — BAL 2.0 is currently in development. The main new feature will be support for staggered inheritance: instead of a single lump-sum transfer, it will be possible to schedule gradual distributions over time (for example 10% per year)." } },
|
||
{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What happens if there is an unconfirmed incoming transaction when I set up the inheritance?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No problem — the plugin proceeds to write the inheritance and send it to the Will-Executors even if there is an incoming transaction still pending in the mempool. It is sufficient that the transaction is visible in the mempool; it does not need to be confirmed yet." } }

<div class="section-wrap" id="about">
|

<h2 class="section-title">About the Protocol</h2>
|
||
<div class="prose">
|
||
<p>
|
||
Today, in this Samhain week — time of the year when the two 'worlds' (material and spiritual) close together
|
||
and better communicate — we have the launch of this new Protocol to honour Bitcoin and all positivity it will
|
||
bring to humanity.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This project was originated to solve an existing problem: to leave bitcoin inheritance to one's own children,
|
||
but in a <strong>decentralised manner</strong>, without the intervention of an external third party
|
||
(spouse, public notary, etc.) — thus in perfect accordance with the Fundamental principle of
|
||
decentralisation.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
We have created this protocol (seeking inspiration from John Nash game theory <em>'dominant dynamics'</em>
|
||
on which bitcoin incentives are based) so that it can have own life, without the need of a central
|
||
Big Brother to make it work.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
It is an open-source code plug-in and a Will-Executor, taking in charge the inheritance transactions' push,
|
||
will stay active for at least the next <strong>10 years</strong> to await the consolidation of the protocol
|
||
with more and more Will-Executors joining in.

<h3>Decentralized Inheritance</h3>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Plan Bitcoin inheritance without involving any third party (notary, spouse, custodian).
|
||
Fully peer-to-peer, in perfect accordance with Bitcoin's core principle of decentralisation.
|
||
No legal overhead, no intermediaries — ever.

<h3>Time-Locked Transactions</h3>
|

</div>
|

<p>
|

Transactions are created with Locktime set to a future date.

Will-Executors retain and broadcast them automatically at the specified delivery date.

Your keys never leave your device — Electrum handles all signing.

Each inheritance transaction includes a fee for the Will-Executor,

paid on confirmation. Incentives grow with Bitcoin's value over time.

The economic incentive necessary to make all this possible is a fee included in each inheritance transaction.

It is paid when the Will-Executor transmits the inheritance transaction to the nodes,

We expect the BAL PROTOCOL to be successful thanks to the incentives included in the inheritance

<h3>How it works</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The plugin generates a transaction with <strong>Locktime</strong> set to a future date. The transaction
|
||
is signed and sent to one or several Will-Executors, who will take care in retaining the transaction
|
||
and send it at the expiry date.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In order to provide economic incentives for the Will-Executor to keep and broadcast the transaction,
|
||
an output will contain a <strong>fee payment</strong>, which will be received only when the heredity
|
||
transaction is confirmed in the block chain.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
We know technology is useful when it is easily available to people in order to improve their lives;
|
||
therefore BAL's main objective will be to improve and to simplify this interface over time.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
All the work carried out to implement this project and BAL protocol (Bitcoin After Life) has been
|
||
procured only with payments in <strong>Bitcoin</strong> — with no use of FIAT currencies.

It is a software designed to manage the <strong>inheritance of your Bitcoin</strong> stored with a seed phrase (private key).
|
||
It also allows you to create an <strong>emergency backup</strong> of your wallet in case you lose your seed.
|
||
The protocol uses time-locked transactions sent to Will-Executor servers, which broadcast them to the Bitcoin network at the pre-set delivery date.

For the simple reason that <strong>Electrum is hyper-tested</strong> and considered the gold standard among Bitcoin wallets.
|
||
The BAL plugin does <em>not</em> sign transactions itself — that is entirely Electrum’s job.
|
||
This design choice maximises security, reduces the maintenance burden of the software,
|
||
and means users can trust the signing process completely independently of BAL.

An inheritance costs two fees, both paid <strong>exclusively in Bitcoin</strong> — no subscriptions, no credit cards:

|

<li><strong>Miner fee:</strong> chosen by the user at the time of signing. A higher fee is recommended to ensure future confirmation.</li>

Will-Executors are <strong>free to set their own commissions</strong> to cover server running costs.

The fees are visible both on the official <em>WeList</em> website and directly inside the plugin.

It is strongly advised <em>not</em> to manually lower them below what the server requests,

Will-Executor servers are the <strong>beating heart of the BAL Protocol</strong>.
|
||
They receive your pre-signed, time-locked transactions, store them securely,
|
||
and broadcast them to the Bitcoin network at the pre-set delivery date.
|
||
They <em>cannot alter or steal</em> the transaction because it is already fully signed by you.
|
||
Their only incentive to act correctly is the <strong>fee embedded in the transaction</strong>,
|
||
received only once the inheritance is confirmed on-chain.

No — with the latest versions of the software, even the <strong>smallest VPS</strong> is sufficient.
|
||
The earnings are medium-to-long term: the Will-Executor collects Bitcoin fees in the future,
|
||
when the inheritance transactions it holds reach their delivery date and get confirmed on-chain.
|
||
As Bitcoin’s value grows over time, so does the value of those fees.

Yes — you need to have a <strong>second wallet</strong> already set up as the destination
|
||
(for example a BlueWallet on your phone). If you lose access to your original wallet and no longer
|
||
open Electrum before the delivery date, the funds will be automatically sent to the backup address.
|

It is a practical and decentralized safety net against private key loss.

It is very simple: the plugin includes a <strong>step-by-step guided wizard</strong>.
|
||
You will be asked to set two key parameters:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>Delivery time:</strong> the future date on which the Will-Executor will broadcast the transaction.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>Check Alive period:</strong> how often Electrum should ask you if you want to postpone the delivery date (see Q10).</li>

<p>
|
||
The <strong>Check Alive</strong> is a parameter that defines the period of inactivity
|
||
after which the BAL plugin — installed inside Electrum — will ask you whether you want
|
||
to postpone your inheritance delivery date.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong>Example:</strong> suppose you set an inheritance date 2 years from today,
|
||
with a Check Alive period of 6 months. If you open Electrum after 7 months
|
||
(i.e. more than 6 months since the last postponement), the plugin will prompt you:
|
||
your original delivery date is now only 1 year and 5 months away, and since you
|
||
are still alive and active, you will likely want to push it back to 2 years from
|
||
today again — so the plugin asks whether to postpone by another 6 months.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This mechanism ensures your will is never executed as long as you keep using
|
||
Electrum within the Check Alive window. If you stop opening Electrum before
|
||
the delivery date is reached, the Will-Executors will broadcast the inheritance
|
||
automatically.

The plugin <strong>monitors your UTXO balance</strong> every time you close Electrum.
|
||
If it detects a change (funds sent or received), it will automatically prompt you to
|
||
<strong>update the inheritance transaction</strong> to reflect the new balance.
|
||
This prevents two problems: new funds being excluded from the inheritance,
|
||
or the old transaction being rejected by the network because its inputs were already spent.

Yes — the plugin was designed to be used by <strong>everyday people</strong>, not just technical users.
|
||
The guided wizard simplifies every step of the process, and the BAL team’s ongoing goal
|
||
is to keep the interface as simple and intuitive as possible.
|
||

Yes — <strong>BAL 2.0</strong> is currently in development. The main new feature will be
|
||
support for <strong>staggered inheritance</strong>: instead of a single lump-sum transfer,
|
||
it will be possible to schedule gradual distributions over time
|
||
(for example 10% per year), giving heirs a more structured and flexible inheritance plan.

||
No problem — the plugin proceeds to write the inheritance and send it to the Will-Executors
|
||
even if there is an incoming transaction still pending in the mempool.
|
||
It is sufficient that the transaction is <strong>visible in the mempool</strong>;
|
||
it does not need to be confirmed yet. The plugin handles this case automatically.
