₿ ecash and lightning wallet for instant, low-cost and private value transfers.

You'll find the seed phrase in settings. Keep it somewhere outside the device. Recovery from seed is last resort, mostly in case you lose the device.

For other wallet hiccups that might come due to heavy both protocol and wallet development, there is still local backup of ecash in separate database that can quickly help in some cases.

Enjoy and keep only small amounts in ecash and in r&d focused wallets.

If you see them only when wallet is in active use, those are local ones, trigerred by the app itself. Check if you see the device token under the push notification switch in the Settings.

For NWC to work when Minibits is killed or backgrounded, you'd need to be able to recieve them from the server, through firebase messaging - the same way push are delivered on incoming zaps no matter the state Minibits is in.

Most android devices are supported, but there are some that don't: i.e. if you use a device that has no Google Play services installed (some chinese brands or privacy operating systems such as Graphene and similar). Those can not obtain the so called device token to which the messages are addressed.

Not really, you just keep your balance pegged to usd as promised by mint in some way

When Minibits is in killed state, in my tests the zap is paid reliably by ecash, however android suppresses or delays the nwc response sending - but not sure how Amethyst or others handle this case.

Still, zap receipt is published from the server, so not missing.

I see that in Amethyst as well, even I see that zap receipt is published. When I just scroll the note out of sight and back, zap is shown there.

Doesn't happen when zapping from Minibits over the deeplink, perhaps because the screen is re-rendered when coming back to Amethyst.

That's the recovery last step.

As well, if you still has old device with balance and just moving, you can just install on new device, send balance to new random address and the use "wallet address recovery" on new device using your seed.

That way you skip sometimes painful ecash recovery and move your address.

If that's not working for you, drop me a dm with screenshot of app details from developer settings.

nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv, is there a way to change the notification settings to only notify me of incoming transactions, and silence outgoing transaction notifications?

If not, might some more control over notifications be possible in a future update?

Certainly doable. In more generic way, could I put it that you'd like not to be bothered by notifications when app is in foreground /active?

Ah, I see :)

Minibits contacts are currently stored only on device. There is another open github feature request to provide contacts backup that could be implemented via private kind of list as per NIP-51.

When this comes on the table I'll think how to get max out of it.

Agree, contacts are quite barebones. Could you please give an example what lists you mean?

nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv when the client on iOS? Many people speak well about this sotfware :-)

Thanks! iOS for sure doable (code is react native), just outside of my time possibilities.

There is a plan in the making on how to onboard another dev. So consider it being part of the roadmap, just would not expect it this year.

Thanks for report, that's a bug for sure. Will try to simulate or at least think of it, wonder how that can happen :)

For now, please just try to delete both connections and create and paste new ones.

I hesitated to add NWC to nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv for so long, deeming it bad choice for mobile devices… until I could not hear 'wen nwc🧐?' anymore.

Now, in reckless mode, you can connect to Minibits from your favorite #nostr apps and make payments, even when the wallet is asleep😴.

Requires to have push notifications enabled and working as they work as a data carrier to pass encrypted NWC requests to the device when wallet app is in the background or off.

Experimental, background processing is limited by Android OS, depends on many things such as battery level, there is no guarantee it will work on every device.

Use only with apps you trust and with small daily limits!
