The Blixt of nostr:npub1v4v57fu60zvc9d2uq23cey4fnwvxlzga9q2vta2n6xalu03rs57s0mxwu8 is just gorgeous! I tested this wallet 3 years ago and then it was pretty buggy. Now it works fast, stable, consumes little battery, backup the static channels file in Google Drive and the user fully controls the channels himself! I recommend in Android to give access to the battery in the background and pin the application in the application cards so as not to accidentally swipe it (not close). #LightningNetwork #Lightning #Wallet #Software #Soft #Android

Happy to hear you playing around with Blixt again.
We actually have an upcoming “persistent mode” coming to Blixt Android in the next version.
This would allow Blixt to always be online and active, like the pinning you’re talking about.
Building on top of the persistent mode, I will add Lightning Address support for Blixt via Lightning Box: https://github.com/hsjoberg/lightning-box
What value does this provide other than break other WebLN clients?
It’s completely useless. It serves no real purpose whatsoever.
There is no point and there is no need.
No, it’s not worth adding to the spec.
There is absolutely no benefit to this whatsoever.
It's only needlessly breaking other less popular implementations when websites choose to follow this proprietary thing.
Is red meat, white rice and broccoli a good diet for bodybuilding?
3D graphics peaked with Warcraft III in 2002.
It went downhill from there.
Opened zero conf, non-broadcasted channels to nostr:npub1v4v57fu60zvc9d2uq23cey4fnwvxlzga9q2vta2n6xalu03rs57s0mxwu8 blixt wallet on all of my devices. ⚡️⚡️⚡️(Thanks nostr:npub1qgwhaaa2lsp54rl0hfx7qa3z678ax6wlre0em475rhpvl7n54cpqgg7y7n)
Awesome to hear.
Happy Blixting! 🟡
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 ⚡️
https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.6.8
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.
-
Blixt Wallet 0.6.8 introduces 0-conf channel support!
Add pubkeys for nodes you would like to accept 0-conf channels from.

Speedloader is open-source and can be used with a normal lnd instance.

Primer is used for generating the channel db file.

In a future Blixt Wallet version, we'll add the ability to choose endpoint for downloading the channel db file.
-
Blixt Wallet 0.6.8 includes a crash fix for certain iPhone devices.
Known affected devices are:
iPhone 5/5s/6/6s/7/X/XR.
If you have experienced issues in the past, please give a fresh installation of Blixt Wallet a try. 🪄

Happy Blixting everyone! 🟡
People still look at the Bitcoin price?
Sure, see here: https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/780
Author is René Pickhardt.
Some of the comments to this proposal is just peak insanity IMO.
Yet another centralized service (Lightspark) being a menace to the network by doing evil probing is not fixing Lightning.
In order to promote self-custody, we need tools to improve reliability for self-custodial wallets:
- Native probing (BOLT14)
- Blinded paths
- Stuckless payments
- Async payments
Stumbled upon nostr:npub1v4v57fu60zvc9d2uq23cey4fnwvxlzga9q2vta2n6xalu03rs57s0mxwu8 maker of Blixt wallet, any wallet maker is good to follow 🤙
Cheers man! 🙏
We're targeting a beta release for 0.6.9.
If you have Telegram, join our chat group @BlixtWallet, because I will talk and coordinate Lightning Address support from there.
Blixt Wallet and Blixt Wallet Testnet have been reinstated to the Goople Play Store.

Happy Blixting! 🟡
Our appeal for the suspension of Blixt Wallet and Blixt Wallet Testnet on Google Play has been accepted.
The apps are currently under review. We expect them to be back soon!
The suspension was due to app similarities, but we've clarified that Blixt Testnet is for testing only.
As always, you can download the APK directly from our releases page on GitHub:
https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases
In order to stay up-to-date with releases, we recommend you to use the tool Obtainium:

Blixt Wallet and Blixt Wallet Testnet have been suspended from the Google Play Store.
We are working with Google on figuring out why.
In the meantime, you can download the wallet APK on GitHub.
This is the only information I got from Google:
I have submitted an appeal. Let’s hope it’s just some algorithm error.
They also suspended Blixt Wallet Testnet, so I assume it’s because they think Blixt Wallet [Mainnet] and Blixt Wallet Testnet are the same thing, which is obviously not true.
Indeed with LND you have to do a lot of mental gymnastics just to open a damn channel.
I don't know how nostr:npub1v4v57fu60zvc9d2uq23cey4fnwvxlzga9q2vta2n6xalu03rs57s0mxwu8 did it in Blixt wallet that is not requiring the anchor reserve with LND node.
It’s a special rule for private channel openings.
…which people should do anyway
