I’m very happy to announce Blixt Wallet 0.6.8!
It contains a new feature called speedloader by nostr:npub1xw0g0f9dtve2075gc6jk5ed9808ma2zet2rttkrjqx3ekpqgc2wqrfy3xc, which syncs LN channel db on app startup, leading to robust payment pathfinding.
We want to thank Breez, which this work is derived from ⚡️

Speedloader loads the channel database file on app startup.
On Android, the channel database file that speedloader uses is automatically cached by a background sync job every 24h.
On iOS & macOS, the file is also downloaded on startup, leading to slightly longer startup times.

Blixt Wallet 0.6.8 has better support for hodl invoices.
On-going payments now show up as "pending" in the transaction log before they are eventually settled or cancelled.
This should result in a better experience when using services like RoboSats.
