After years of using different tools and wallets for #BSV, I was inspired by tools like Bitaddress.Org, Bitsweep.Org, ElectrumSV, Rockwallet , Centbee and HandCash. There grew a list of features and capabilities that I was looking for from BSV #Wallets and BSV tools.

Ideally...

• All one should need is the BSV network, with its unchanging protocol, and processors/nodes/miners.
• You would not rely on a single website to remain active for it to be useable.
• You would not rely on a business to continue operating because the reality is, many businesses lose funding, and they go bankrupt.
• I wanted tools that were self-contained in single HTML files.
• That would make it easy to store, transport and send.
• Portable.
• No installation necessary.
• Quick to setup. Or no setup.
• You can load it up on an Internet browser.
• It will work on any device that has an Internet browser.
• It knows nothing of you.
• It would not record your details.
• It would not force you to work with its wallet addresses. It works with yours: With wallets you already use or and have created yourself were only you know your keys.
• It would not record your transactions on its app, on its database, but you can choose to record it on the Blockchain to prove details of the payment.

Now, finally, in the last month or so, I have been working on such tools that I call Sovereignty Tools (https://bsvsearch.com/sovereigntytools.web3) and today, I am going to share them with you.

So far, I have built two:

1. Sovereign Keys - Key Generator inspired by Bitaddress

2. Sovereign Pay - To use your Keys to send BSVs

I plan to do a video about these one day but there's lots to do. In the meantime, here are the steps for the simplest transaction you can experiment with:

STEP 1) Paste your Public BSV address and press 'Scan confirmed balance & UTXOs'.

STEP 2) Paste the BSV Address you want to send BSV's to. Write a note if you like, eg invoice number you are paying, and inscribe the note on the Blockchain if needed a quick way to prove your payment for example.

STEP 3) Paste the BSV Address where you want your change (unspent funds) go to. It could be another cold wallet, or you can leave the field blank because default which is to, send your change back to your address in Step 1.

STEP 4) Acknowledge that you understand the risks:

Option 4A) If for example, you transferred your change to another wallet in Step 3, and there will be no more funds in your sending address and you do not plan to use it anymore, then you can simply type your WIF key in press 'Build & Sign transaction', then 'Send transaction to BSV network'.

Option 4B) If you want to be more careful for example, you can disconnect your computer from the Internet at this point. Paste your WIF, to sign the transaction. The web page will write up the details of the transaction in hex code which you can cut and paste to whatsonchain.com/broadcast yourself in another device. Just make sure you have the hex code (which by itself cannot reveal your private WIF key).

STEP 5) The WhatsOnChain link to your Transaction ID will appear. You can click it to see the transaction's status.

There's many ways to transact flexibly with these small but feature-packed tools, and I'll cover them in future articles, posts or videos.

Test with very small amounts. Note: Sovereign Pay takes 1% of 1% (0.0001) of transaction amount or minimum, 1 Satoshi, as usage fee — a demonstration of #micropayments in action!

I invite you to test and check the tools. They are self-contained files so all their code is open to be seen. Nothing hidden there.

Please post any questions here or at bsvsearch.com/forum/9401 so I, or other users can help you. Constructive feedback is always appreciated so I can improve it or build more tools and services to grow the real Bitcoin economy.
