Any thoughts on Aqua wallet by Jan3?
Discussion
Class itself. I like it
Fees seemed a bit too much when I tried it
Yeah, noticing the same, but they didn’t ask for my kyc.
If I want to use lightning I'll use Phoenix or a custodial wallet like nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkjmnfvf5hguewvdshx6p07xr4s5. For on-chain there are also better wallets.
I think a lot of the buzz is possibly paid marketing.
I believe nostr:npub14uhkst639zvc2trx2nlsvk4yqkjp690zk89keytnzgmq2az0qmnq58ez89 may know about it (pretty sure I remember correctly)…

Review: AquaWallet APK Build
We followed the AquaWallet build instructions outlined in the repository, using Docker to create the build environment. Despite attempting various fixes, we encountered a critical issue preventing the successful build of the APK.
Steps Taken:
Created Dockerfile: Drafted a Dockerfile based on the repository’s build instructions to set up the required environment.
Ran Docker Build Command:
docker build -t aqua -f aqua.dockerfile .
Encountered Error: During the build process, the following error was encountered:
aqua.dockerfile:17
--------------------
15 |
16 | # Run 'make setup' to pull all dependencies and pre-built binaries for GDK and boltz-rust
17 | >>> RUN nix develop --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' --command /bin/bash -c "make setup"
18 |
19 | # Build the APK
--------------------
ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c nix develop --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' --command /bin/bash -c \"make setup\"" did not complete successfully: exit code: 127
This error indicates that the command failed to execute due to missing dependencies or an issue with Nix’s experimental features. The make setup command, essential for pulling all necessary dependencies and binaries, could not be completed.
Used it a couple of time to rebalance channels on my nodes.
Works quite good, although the swap-fees add up quickly if you rebalance a couple of million sats.
Yeah, that was my main issue, they charge for lightning zaps..
Yeah, because it's a Liquid wallet, not a lightning wallet.
It's not actually "them" charging though, it's Boltz who's charging the fee.
Ahh
Yep, you can receive Lightning transactions, but those are insta-swapped to Liquid by the Boltz service (involving a fee)
and you can send Lightning, but those are then swapped from your Liquid-balance by the Botlz service (involving a fee).
It works and does so incredibly well, but it'll cost you some sats.
Because is not a Lightning native wallet. Every LN payment needs a liquid onchain tx plus Bolz swap fee.
