Are you testing for wos corn?
Not in an official capacity. Just got lucky to get a beta invite.
Aah sweet, was obviously your meme game 🫂
Any idea how their self custody wallet works?
Has WoS gone open source?
Self-custody is based on Spark or Ark?
🔥🫂
The TestFlight notes mentions spark. I dont know beyond that though

Not sure if it’s open source. The TestFlight release notes mention spark for self-custody.
Bullish on Sats and WoS

@Blitz Wallet very good
If it were also open source it would be a real turning point, but as long as it remains closed...
What a piece of shit
I had a gut feeling they were using spark
I thought Blitz used Liquid swaps. Guess I’m going to be going down the rabbit hole on Spark tomorrow.
My lightning address is self-custody
Power of #Spark
Interesting…
It doesn’t seem to support LNURL-verify, however, so there are some limitations.
BIP177 hard dislike. 👎
Yea. I'm not a fan. At least it was not set as the default display option. I submitted feedback in the TestFlight with my thoughts on it.
Why?
You’re on the beta? How is it? 👀👀👀
Only 1100? Poor thing.🙏😆
Yea i got an invite last night. So far it seems to work great. It lets you switch between the custodial wallet and the self-custody wallet within the app. In the US, though, the receive page only works with the self-custody wallet, and your custom lightning address stays with the custodial wallet. Hopefully they change that. But the wallet itself seems to be working fine.
Sounds interesting

Bad choice!
₿ is much better than "sats"
alternatively go with ˢ₿

Loads fast. No KYC. Clean UI. Seems like it will be a good option for onboarding people, as well as just regular day to day LN use.
For the self custody side, do you have to open a channel like in Phoenix or Zeuspay?
Don't believe the FUD. Likes are not dead. #likesthestandard

Nope. I think it uses “spark” which is new to me, but it’s another bitcoin L2. Still need to read up more on it.
That definitely keeps it simple. Newcomer friendly is always good
Was there much to do to get installed and running? 🤫I may be getting one too.
Yea, and the key with any of these wallets is to only keep pocket money amounts on them. Even plain old self-custody lightning where you open a channel to someone, you shouldn’t be keeping large sums of money in them. But for spending amounts, a reasonable amount of cautious risk is ok.
Agreed. Keep most on L1 and move stuff around when needed
a vocal minority is incredibly excited about an optional new sats logo lmfao
No, it was super easy. If you were already logged into the custodial wallet, then in the app settings there’s an option to switch to self-custody mode. Otherwise it just starts you in self-custody mode. You choose to create new wallet or restore existing one. The new wallet took all of a few seconds to load, and then you can write down your backup phrase and you’re good to go.
Literally that 🤣 It was set to “sats” by default even, lol.

same deal with cashu dot me
💯🎯
Is this connected to your own node for self custody wallet?
No, no channel management. It uses spark, which is a newer bitcoin L2 apparently. Still need to learn more about it.
Here. Have a, what do you call them, floatie. 😏
Ha 🤣 I forwarded them to my WoS so those other sats would be so lonely 😂
After asking, I saw your response to someone else that the self custody wallet doesn’t allow for the custom address. I’m still running an old version of the custodial WOS. I’m assuming this will be an updated version from the version I have now. I can’t even find the version number in my app.
It lets you switch back and forth between the custodial wallet and self-custody wallet. The custom address stays associated with the custodial wallet and you get a randomized address for the self-custody one. If you decide to try it, just make sure you still have the email address associated with your custodial wallet in case you need to recover it, but when I updated to the TestFlight it kept me logged in and I’ve switched back and forth between custody and self-custody wallets with no issues so far.
