How has the @fedimint integration been for Mutiny users? Any issues, feature requests, etc?
It works great for both new and existing users alike. The idea is that it works in combination with your self custodial lightning channels if you have them.
When adding a federation, receives under 200k go into the federation. Spends come out of the federation first as well.
This really helps make sure that small valued payments do not get stuck and cause channel closures as well. This is huge if you've ever run into that.
At any time you can swap your federation balance to self custodial lightning. This is very useful if you've accumulated enough sats to justify opening a channel. We recommend around the 200k - 500k range.
Not sure where to find a federation invite code or how to add it to Mutiny? We make that really simple now!
Just go to the profile icon in the top right to manage federations.
We find federations that have been listed on nostr. This allows you to discover mints, see which mints your friends have recommended, etc.
And because of the open interoperability, these are also listed on bitcoinmints.com by @makeprisms
We're not stopping there either! Later this month we will have lightning addresses based on fedimint as well.
This will be available to Mutiny+ users first, with random user names available for anyone after sufficient testing.
So what do you think?! Anything else you'd like to see regarding fedimint integrations?

Most lightning wallets these days are what we call "invoice-oriented." We want to go back to the basics to solve what people are really trying to do: paying a person. We've added a new wallet creation flow to make the wallet about you!
The new version of Mutiny now allows you to create a new nostr profile, or import a nostr private key from an existing profile. From there, you can now DM other mutiny & nostr users to send or request money directly from the app. No more copy / pasting invoices!
To double down on social, we've redesigned our home screen to put people first. We now include a row of recent profiles for quick access. We also now have tabs on the home screen for looking at your payment activity, your friend's zap activity on nostr, and your payment requests.
Next up, better fedimint support!
Mutiny has had beta support for the fedimint protocol for a couple of months now. Instead of opening a lightning channel on your first receive, with a minimum of 100k sats, you can get started on a fedimint with just a few sats.
This new update adds a way to discover available fedimints to join. Naturally, the discovery process is powered by an open protocol built on nostr. You can see who recommends a federation, and add it with one click.
You'll automatically receive funds to that fedimint, as long as the amount is smaller than 200,000 sats, and you'll automatically spend out of that fedimint, with a fallback to your regular lightning balance. You can also swap from fedimint to your lightning balance at any time.
Coming up shortly after this release, we'll be adding federated lightning addresses that lock incoming payments to your key, which you may redeem at any point by coming back online. We'll be rolling this out to Mutiny+ users first, stay tuned!
Let us know what you think! We're excited about this new direction and need feedback to help us continue driving forward.
