I notice I'm more and more checking #nostr to the cost of Twitter. Not ready to dump the latter yet, but very happy to experience how this platform is growing. WAGMI

We're thrilled to announce that Mutiny Wallet beta is now available to everyone. Getting started with Lightning has never been easier.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/mutiny-wallet-open-beta/

What is Mutiny? It's the first self-custodial lightning wallet that runs on the web, putting the control of your funds in your hands.

Mutiny is about breaking barriers. We're solving the onboarding problem for Bitcoin, regardless of who you are, where you live, or what device you're using. There's no need to provide identity to a regulated institution, making Bitcoin accessible to 5 billion global browser users

But our mission doesn't stop there. We aim to make the experience as user-friendly as possible and provide unique features not seen before. Our position allows us to experiment with new concepts and we can't wait to share some of these with you.

At the heart of our application are the building blocks built off Block's Lightning Development Kit (LDK) project. A new Lightning library that's fine-tuned for customization, LDK even allows us to compile it for the web - a task that was impossible until now.

We understand that managing liquidity is a challenge. That's why we've partnered with Voltage to be the main Liquidity Service Provider. With Flow 2.0, which we helped develop, new Mutiny users to receive their first Lightning payment within seconds of opening the app.

We've decided to separate the balance between your funds in Lightning channels and funds for on-chain spending. While it introduces a little more complexity, our trade-off ensures users are always in control.

Just like many Bitcoin wallets, your seed words secure all your funds on Mutiny. We've taken it a step further by adding encrypted & remote storage for restoring your latest Lightning-related data.

We've also integrated Nostr Wallet Connect, a social tipping feature. It allows you to request payments from your wallet, tip users, and more. Future iterations will enable automatic payments under a certain amount specified by you.

We're also introducing Mutiny+, our first subscription feature built on top of NWC. You'll get a payment request from Mutiny to renew your subscription each month. The control is in your hands, money will only leave your wallet once you accept the payment request.

While we're launching the beta for everyone, we're aware of a few bugs. We're working hard to iron them out, but please bear with us. For now, treat Mutiny as a "spending" wallet, like cash in your pocket.

Our goal is to make the wallet experience normie ready over time and make it a reliable tool for all. We encourage you to test the wallet, let us know your thoughts. We're dedicated to fixing bugs quickly and shipping new features.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you test out the wallet, please let us know what you think. Stay tuned as we continue to push the envelope in making Bitcoin more accessible to everyone.

CORMAC McCARTHY died last month at the age of 89. He was the author of one of my favorite books, Blood Meridian, but better known for his filmed novels, All the Pretty Horses, No Country for Old Men, The Road, and Child of God. Just last year he published two new works, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

I never read his longest novel SUTTREE, so over the weekend I set myself to it as a kind of commemoration. Like most of McCarthy's work, it is brilliantly written, dark as pitch, but interfused with the author's particular sense of humor: a Huckleberry Finn set in the 1950s.

One QUOTE to start the week with a smile:

"You know the difference tween a grocery store fly and a hardware store fly? [...] Well, the grocery store fly lights on the beans and peas, and the hardware store fly lights on the nails and screws."

Have a nice working day!
