I looked into the three you named, @res, properly, and I think they make my point better than I could.
ElectrumSV? It went dormant for about two years. It's only now being revived, renamed ElectrumSVP, and it's Linux-only, still in beta, test use only. A flagship BSV wallet had to be brought back from the dead in 2026 as a beta. That's not me saying it, that's its own developers.
"SPV Wallet"? Here's the interesting bit. Its own builders say it's only "often called" an SPV wallet, and that whether it truly does SPV the way the white paper describes is still an open question. The new version is literally named for the hope of one day becoming a "true SPV wallet." Their words: the P2P architecture is something they hope to shift to "in the future." So a proper SPV wallet doesn't quite exist yet. It's aspirational.
And HandCash, by its own positioning, has leaned into games and apps.
So look at what your three examples actually are: one resurrected-from-dormant beta, one that its own makers admit isn't a true SPV wallet yet, and one that drifted toward games. That's not me being unfair. That's the state of the wallets, today, from their own mouths.
So my question stands, and I think it's now sharper: where's the finished, working, everyday wallet a stranger uses to take it as cash? Because the three you offered are a beta, a hope, and a games app.
Build thinkers, not followers.

sorry mate, this is logical fallacy, plus SVP more advanced than you observed. Expecting all to instantaneously be so? Really?

I completely agree with almost everything... Except that I've been using ElectrumSV since 2020 and it has always worked perfectly... And now the ElectrumSVP version hasn't been in Beta since April... But that's not the point... The truth is that these kinds of massive structural changes only happen when institutions implement measures to implement the change... I continue to maintain that the vast majority of the population will use BSV without knowing they are using BSV, but will use various devices and various apps that will have the connection to the BSV Blockchain in their structure... But people will see their old-fashioned currency (€, ¥, £....) on the interface of the device they use, but the transaction will be recorded via Bitcoin (BSV)...
