Custody strategy: the price sits under the drop-down, not in the option text (which overflowed on a phone)

Manage page: the card is "Custody strategy"

Manage page: Renew, Withdraw and Exit sit under the coin table and act on the ticked coins; a unilateral exit can be partial; the explainers moved to the confirmations

2026-10-23T06:12:42Z

Adam, 2026-10-23: the three buttons belong right below the table so it is clear they act on the selection, "co-operative exit" is Withdraw and "unilateral exit" is Exit, Exit names the ticked total and takes just those coins, and the explainer cards were a wall — they now appear where the action is decided: the renewal text and fee schedule on the Renew confirmation, the withdraw note on the form it opens, the exit cost comparison on the Exit confirmation. The page is the coins, their three buttons, and the custody strategy. The buttons stay (disabled) while every coin is in a round. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1

Spending settings: the coins first, then the custody strategy as a drop-down that describes only the chosen one

2026-10-23T06:07:20Z

Adam, 2026-10-23: three descriptions at once were a wall of text. The card now sits between the coins table and Renewal, is a select of the three strategies with their prices, and shows one paragraph — the chosen strategy's. The intro is two sentences shorter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1

Custody card: plain words — "Allow coins to expire", "Minimize renewal cost", "Minimize exit cost"; no timelocks, rounds or "the old Coinos"

Adam, 2026-10-23. Coins "expire"; the exit is "yours until then"; what a renewal buys is said without naming the mechanism. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1

Custody card copy: "coin", not "Spending coin"; Coinos capitalized; the default tier says the exit stays until a coin's timelock runs out

2026-10-23T05:29:58Z

Adam, 2026-10-23: "Coinos holds my coins" read as if the holder never had a unilateral exit. They do, until the timelock runs out; only then does Coinos hold the coin. The option is now "Coinos holds my coins once they expire", its description says so, and the intro says what the timelock buys and what renewing keeps. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1

The third custody tier keeps exits cheap by depth, not by date: "Keep my exit cheap" renews a coin once its history is four hops deep

2026-10-23T05:06:01Z

Why: a unilateral exit publishes one on-chain transaction per off-chain hop, so depth — not age — is what makes an exit expensive, and a renewal a week before expiry flattens exactly the same history a renewal in the last hours does. The week-ahead "early" tier only guarded against the server being unreachable at the very end, which is not the case worth selling. (Adam, 2026-10-23.) exit = self (last-hours renewal, free bracket + base, the same grid-snapped backstop) plus: any coin whose genesis chain is 4+ hops deep is renewed in the next round the app runs, paying the top bracket + base — but only when that fee is under a tenth of the coin (flattening a 21-sat coin for 300 sats helps nobody; its exit is uneconomic anyway). Deep coins ride along with an expiry renewal when one is due, or get a round of their own. The server-side backstop stays near-expiry only: depth changes only while the wallet transacts, i.e. while the app is open. A stored 'early' reads as 'exit'. Card copy says what the hop count means and what the two prices are for. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1

Custody is a choice, and coinos holding the coins is the default: nothing renews on its own and no renewal fee is paid unless the user opts in

2026-10-23T04:06:32Z

Why: renewal fees were "money passively draining" to people who thought they had a custodial wallet (Stacker News, 2026-10-22). Measured over Sep–Oct: 84% of what users paid came from the client's own consolidation round at 20 coins (0.2% + 300 on every fresh coin), the rest from 300-sat rounds that each cohort of Lightning-received coins (30-day pool lifetime) triggered on its own schedule. The ASP itself honors a coin past its timelock — rounds and offboards never checked expiry, and captaind's allow_expired_arkoor (now on at ark.coinos.io) lets arkoor spends through too — so expiry only ever meant "the exit is gone", which most people coming from v2 never had. Settings → Spending gets a Custody card with three tiers: - coinos holds my coins (default): no renewals, no fees; a coin past its timelock shows as "held by coinos", stays spendable and receivable, and is left out of a unilateral exit (there is nothing on-chain for it to take). - Keep my own exit: renew in the last hours (free bracket + base), the server backstop registered 36 blocks out and snapped to a 48-block grid so every wallet's orders share one round. - Renew a week early: 1008 blocks out on a 144-block grid (0.1% + base). renewPolicy() in ark/manager.js is the one table; the app, the service worker (the mirror carries the tier) and the Manage page all read it. Only shown on servers that honor expired coins (presets carry honorsExpired); elsewhere renewal stays automatic. Manager: honorsExpired makes a past-timelock coin ordinary money (balance, selection, receive validation via acceptExpired) while a server refusal (expiryRejected) still excludes it; such coins spend LAST so an older build on the receiving side almost never meets one. A once-per-wallet rescan re-reads the mailbox and adopts coins older builds refused as expired, un-forgets expired dust, and clears stale refusals. The refresh gate that retired a renewal of expired inputs is gone (the server accepts them; the Manage page's Renew of exactly those coins was failing silently). Automatic consolidation is gone; the send cap goes 24 → 48 coins; small change (<1,000 sats) folds into a renewal that happens anyway. Server (cs:~/ark/captaind-main.toml, restarted): allow_expired_arkoor = true; pool vtxo_lifetime 4320 → 8640 so Lightning-received coins live as long as the rest. Tests: tools/ark/custody-test.js (policies, honoring, ordering, grid snap, validator), tools/ark/custody-ui-test.js (the card, held coins, exit count, switching), nwc-sw-test updated for the tier the worker reads.
