Not the main Breez mobile app but what’s currently being shipped using their SDK and Greenlight.

I’ve been testing Yopaki for a few weeks and aside from a handful of bugs and UX issues I’ve found that are being fixed, it’s really promising.

Have you checked out Blitz Wallet?

Blitz Wallet — A self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning, Liquid, and Ecash wallet aiming to simplify payments on the Bitcoin Network.

It's built with the Breez SDK and works with Liquid.

Not yet but I will. Looks very similar to how Yopaki works. Thanks for sharing.

That Yopaki organization sounds like a bitcoin exchange with some extended functionality, including buying and selling cryptocurrency-related stocks and ETFs. Have you established an account with them? How are ylu using it? Just to buy bitcoin?

No, it’s not an exchange. It’s just a wallet. There is no KYC needed to use it. I’ve been testing it along with a list of other Lightning and Lightning-enabled wallets to onboard people in New York where KYC’d custodial wallets are not available.

Hmmm... That's interesting. Based on the website, I thought it was an exchange. I'll have to sign up and see what it's all about. I love evaluating new wallets. It's one of my nerd hobbies.

Honestly I never even read their website copy before. It doesn’t describe the app very well! 😄

Yeah, I guess not. No part of their website led me to believe it was a wallet.

I’ll ask the founder Francisco about that next time I talk to him.

I don't even think the word "wallet" is in there. Lol

It’s on the App Store. I wonder if they pivoted from an earlier business idea and forgot to update the website. 😂

Yopaki looks indirectly unpleasant for tracking

Most of that probably comes from the purchasing function. Anything that facilitates purchasing typically involves a level of KYC data that I'm always uncomfortable with. Of course, the place I buy coins from, Cash App, also involves a bunch of KYC and transaction data, so I don't know WhatsUp with my inconsistent criteria. Lol I guess since I provided all my data a long time ago, I just forget about it when I'm buying. It's just so easy and fast that I forget that all my information is being attached to every purchase. Oh well 🤷‍♂️

I get it and understand. Risky to direct newcoiners into a web of connection though. Even though you own the keys to the bitcoin wallet I imagine the app attaches lightning transactions to your app/phone ownership
