Bitcoin Lightning Wallet with focus on usability and user experience
The final frontier is here for the 0.6.x release line, v0.6.9-420. Nice!
This one has a great new feature for Android, Lightning Box.
Lightning Box is a Lightning Address provider for mobile nodes like Blixt Wallet, letting you receive Lightning Address payments directly to your phone. This works in conjunction with the Persistent Mode released in v0.6.9, which allows Blixt Wallet to stay active in the background in order to receive payments. You can also use this for nostr tipping.
Register your own Lightning Address from the left menu -> Advanced -> Lightning Box.
Lightning Box is open-source software and you can run your own instance, working seamlessly with Blixt Wallet.
A draft specification for the protocol can be found here: https://github.com/hsjoberg/blips/blob/lnurl-forwarding/blip-lnurlforward.md.
The Blixt Project hosts a Lightning Box service for @blixtwallet.com
Lightning Addresses.
In the future we will look at Lightning Box support without using Persistent mode and for other platforms than Android.
Important note: If battery drain for Persistent Mode is high, try "Compact lnd's databases" from Settings -> Debug.

Blixt Wallet is back with version 0.6.9. Nice!
This release has a lot of goodies, such as Simple Taproot Channels support, new robust Tor implementation for Android and support for a bunch of new languages. With the new Persistent Mode on Android you can keep Blixt Wallet running all the time in the background.
Happy Blixting! ⚡️🟡
Thank you to all code contributors and translators working on this release.

Blixt Wallet v0.6.8 is here and we have an important new feature called Speedloader!
Speedloader syncs the wallet's channel database ("channel graph") on startup. This is important for payment pathfinding and will make sure you have an up-to-date database.
In previous versions of Blixt Wallet, the channel database would only sync with Lightning peers when the app is active (or when the background sync job runs on Android). This can be problematic as it may lead to missed channel updates, which in turn can result in more errors in pathfinding.
Opt in to this new feature by enabling it in the settings under the Experimental category.
