I always been kinda interested and even fascinated by decentralized currency, thought that it was a cool idea, and then seen how it was absolutely mauled by scams, money laundering and predatory practices in general to the point when even thinking about it was gross. And I kinda forgot about it for a while.

But recently there appeared a need for me to actually use cryptocurrency (I want to pay for vds where I host my proxy, without linking my credit card), so I started researching what exist now on the market of wallets, and was rather disappointed: most surface level projects are in-browser always online with "super slick ultra cool design" bullshit with the focus on trading. So, I thought about asking more experienced people (that are not some random cryptobros). Here are my requirements:

• must store all the sensetive data localy on a device as much as possible
• must be open-source
• must have desktop app as main (if it has a complimentary mobile app that's fine, but the central point of operation must be desktop app)
• ideally supports all main stable-coins
• ideally doesn't have pretentious trading crap, nft shit etc.
• ideally have a non-bullshit, straight to the point interface (along the lines of monero wallet I guess)

Also, I think I need to mention that I'm somewhat techsavy, but I'm not super experienced with cryptocurrency, so I'm open to learning things about it. Maybe some of my points are impossible due to how technology works, but I hope I got the "vector" of my wishes across.

P.S. Sorry for such a long post and thank you if you set aside the time to read it and respond.
