By a lucky occasion Cloudflare isn't blocking me from accessing Bitcointalk today and I can finally reply.
For sites I could actually never visit because of CloudFlare it helped to click around on the verify-dialog (or moving your finger around on mobile). Maybe it's just superstition, but at least it always worked for this site with Tor Browser. If it doesn't work there is not much lost.
Hello,
I've been using eXch since a few months and saw Blixt being recommended for LN usage. However I was never able to receive anything with Blixt from eXch because of expiration limit (and likely zero-amount invoice). For the record: A channel was already opened and transactions with other LN Wallets work in both directions.
Is it possible to use Blixt on eXch to receive LN BTC? If so it would be nice if someone explains how, but I understand that this is maybe too much to ask. If not, are there any good alternatives that can be used with eXch?
Thanks in advance!
We've been recommending Blixt for some time already (
https://exch.cx/faq#wallet_security_recommendations) mainly because they make a full LN node from a mobile device, however we will probably stop doing so temporarily because they fail to include their wallet to the main F-Droid repo nor seem to care about doing so, which is a huge security issue according to our assessment.
For now the only solid options we can recommend are Electrum or self-hosting a node.
However, for users who don't mind trusting .apk's built directly by devs there are for sure many good options available, but we don't want to take a responsibility of recommending them because of their security model not matching our high standards (Tl;DR: F-Droid or avoid). And of course, any suggestions are always welcome.
Is it possible to receive LN BTC from eXch to Blixt wallet? I always got an error message that was along the lines of "the expiration date is too soon" and I am also pretty sure the invoice was not zero-amount. And I found no option to change either.
