Impressive. "The wallet supports BOLT 11 and BOLT 12 invoices, LNURL-Pay, Lightning Addresses, on-chain BTC addresses, and even Matt Corrallo’s BIP 353 using DNS to fetch payment details for another user’s wallet. It also supports offline payments based on mobile notifications in the phone’s operating system." I don't see Zap support though 😩

Well it needs google play. That's disappointing. Will have to stick with the regular breez wallet.
Right that is a substitute. I don't want apps that talk to google to store my sats.

Their previous wallet has supported podcasting 2.0 from the very start, but this new one doesn't (yet) as far as I can tell
Yep it's great for sending sats but can't be used for receiving sats as a podcasters. I'm just looking for more solutions besides Alby and Fountain(ZBD). It's comes down to keysend vs LNURL and splits being a heavy load with LNURL.
We've been talking about Bolt12 for so long that I can't even remember what the hold up is. I think it's just lack of support is apps and services. We're just tiny fish over here in the PC 2.0 world and we don't have enough sats flowing to get people interested imo. This stuff cost money to operate and I think that's one of the key reasons Alby switch to the AlbyHub model. This whole thing is just weird. People want V4V but don't want to have to pay for anything. Free is what got us to where we are now with YouTube and Spotify. New hashtag idea #Free4V or #V4Free 🤔 I think I like the second one better.
Bolt12 is getting a lot of recent traction on the wallet side. I hadn't seen anything about it up until like a year ago. I mean realistically there's 2 wallets to chose from that properly support keysend. There's way more bolt12 options out there now.
I really don't care about this Solana thing. Lava is Pro Bitcoin and I'm sure they will support other layers if make sense. For example, in the near future spark.info L2 Bitcoin will support stablecoins, so probably Lava integrate it. Lava still have seeds but you encrypt it on Cloud.
So, this is effectively a Liquid wallet that swaps to Lightning through a liquidity provider's Lightning node for making payments, and swaps from that liquidity provider to Liquid when receiving? So it is self-custody Liquid, which is really itself just a federated custodian, if I understand it correctly? The rug risk is greatly reduced due to the need for a majority of the federation's signers to collude in order to rug users, but it is still non-zero, because it is a trust-minimized custodial system, not a trustless system. Don't get me wrong. It still sounds amazing and I love to see all sorts of solutions that fall in different places along the spectrum of full trust in a single custodian to fully sovereign self-custody. This is probably the most compelling tradeoff I have seen to minimize trust, minimize fees, and still provide convenience to the user. What is the reason it requires Google Play Services to run? That cuts out a large number of Graphene users in the Bitcoin ecosystem, but then again, they are also the type to be most capable of running their own nodes, too.

I wouldn't mind UI in misty green instead solid blue.
The 25k minimum is not a conversion fee requirement. They are preventing you from creating a dust UTXO. For amounts going to on-chain cold-storage, I would recommend sticking with 1 million sats per UTXO or more. Anything under that, keep it in Lightning or Liquid.

Just downloaded this. It's pretty slick. Man I love learning about all this. It's like I think of something that would be cool if developers could pull it off, and then a few months later, it happens. Things are moving at a rapid pace for sure. likeicecream@breez.fun View quoted note →
I've only just seen this, quite why I wasn't already following Breez I don't know, but anyway, this looks and works great. Easy address set up feature too. I like that. I've now got mattyb@breez.fun and it works a treat- seen in the comments it basically uses liquid, so what's happening behind the scenes? Is this lightning to lightning on liquid, or submarine swaps between lightning and liquid? Is there any of the benefits of liquids privacy feature?
