pay to a SP address from any bitcoin wallet

TLDR:

Most Bitcoin wallets cannot pay directly to a BIP352 silent payment address yet. silentpay.me acts as a browser-side staging flow.

  1. Enter a mainnet silent payment address, like sp1....
  2. The browser creates a temporary Bitcoin wallet and shows a normal P2TR staging address.
  3. Send bitcoin from any wallet to that staging address.
  4. The app sweeps the staging UTXOs into a BIP352-compatible output for the entered silent payment address.

The service does not hold keys on a server. The staging private key is generated in the browser, saved locally while the payment is active, and shown as a recovery WIF.

Privacy note: this compatibility flow may make it easier to link the wallet payment to the silent-payment sweep, because the staging UTXO is visible on-chain. Both transactions use Taproot, but the UTXO link remains.

Enter an sp1... address. This page prints one normal Bitcoin address, then sweeps it forward when funded.

[idle] enter an sp1 address.

How do I recover with WIF?
