It's been about a month since we launched Lightning Addresses and we're excited to see so many people using it already! We took some time to explain our unique privacy-preserving fedimint-based approach with our new Blinded Authentication system.

Blinded Authentication Tokens in Mutiny

Mutiny's unique privacy-preserving approach to solving lightning addresses with fedimint and blind authentication tokens.

Release time! 🚀 In 1.7.0, we've made a number of performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features, but here's the ones we're excited about the most: - On chain fedimint support - Transfer funds between federations - Node operates in a web worker now, the UI should be quicker If you have a federation added, all on chain deposits to Mutiny will go into there. We have full send and receive support now, so this effectively gives you a unified balance with fedimint, allowing you to send or receive via onchain & lightning. The Bitcoin Atlantis federation is shutting down at the end of the month. We now parse all of the metadata for federations and will display pop up warnings like this. Included in this release is the ability to transfer funds from one federation to another to make this seamless. Lastly, we've moved all the core logic into a Web Worker. That means the UI thread doesn't have to fight with Mutiny for resources. This should make most wallet operations faster, and keep the UI responsive at all times. It's a big change, so if you see any problems let us know!

A great write up about LDK challenges and why they moved to Breez. All of these we also ran into and solved: 1. Custom rust library around LDK 1. Rapid Gossip Sync bugs and slow syncing 2. Unreliable routing algorithm 3. Concurrent device access w/ just seed word backup If you would like advice building on LDK or would like to use our MIT libraries to assist in the development of your wallet, please reach out. We're a small team of 3 people but happy to help in any way we can. https://medium.com/@lipa_btc/navigating-lightning-innovation-lipas-journey-from-ldk-to-breez-sdk-c5ba36550000

One source of confusion is the unified QR code when a federation is added. Right now on chain activity still comes from the normal on chain wallet. The next major version of Mutiny will allow deposits/withdraws into a federation via onchain, effectively giving a unified balance.

We're glad to see thousands of new Mutiny users over the last few days 🙌 Load is high but we're working on scaling across multiple LSPs and refactoring so the wallet is more efficient. If you're having any issues, this is the best place for support:
