Omg. I've never seen the video before.

"Amid India’s burdensome 30% capital gains tax and 1% transaction levy imposed in 2022, numerous domestic cryptocurrency traders have migrated to global platforms with less stringent know-your-customer protocols."

Ending the year off strong!

Over the last few months, we've been preparing our wallet for Fedimint integrations. Today marks the first release with Fedimint support ready for alpha testing!

Fedimint is software for managing federated custodian funds. It's similar to the trust model of Liquid but better privacy and without a blockchain involved. It also has first-class support for Lightning.

The way we've gone about the integration is to seamlessly smooth over the edges that exist in self-custodial Lightning. Our hybrid approach will use a configured Federation when needed. Otherwise, it uses self-custodial Lightning if it exists for the user. This helps things like channel reserves, channel minimums, high chain fees to get started, etc.

You may add a Federation alongside your existing wallet or start with one without needing to open channels or pay on-chain costs. We recommend keeping the value low since this is a very early release, and there are some known features that we still need to develop.

It should feel and act like the same Mutiny Wallet with some caveats around backups for now.

A massive shoutout to the Fedimint team for their recent v0.2 release. It's still early for them and us, so all testing and feedback is welcomed! This does rely on having a federation invite code. We suspect that, over the next few weeks and months, more mainnet federations will pop up. There is not a default one built into the wallet.

"This release introduces support for bumping the fees of a transaction, verifying a deposit address on your signing device, and more."

I only use Chrome for Google services and occasionally some web debugging. Google removed their Don't Be Evil motto many many years ago. This move is unsurprising. I wouldn't trust their Pixel hardware either ideally, but that's needed for GrapheneOS.

We have started running our own rapid gossip sync server with 1 hour syncing instead of 24 hours. This should help cut down on some payment failures we were seeing when it came to outdated channel fees.
