Internally we are finishing up / testing the accounts and rewards related features, and hope to have a full release in the next couple of months. The wallet will be a custodial solution where LBRY helps users manage their keys. Initially these wallets will be separate from any local Desktop/Android app ones, but the plan is to enable a way for users to sync all their wallets across devices, including lbry.tv.

It's coming up in a few months.

Also, the latest development update for June and July is out: https://lbry.com/news/jun-july-dev.

Which settings? On beta.lbry.tv? Yep, we're working through that now.

We're excited to announce that we just launched a new Daily Watch reward to replace the weekly LBRYCast!!!

Go check it out in-app and let us know what you end up getting!

If you don't see it, press ctrl-R in the app. Mobile will show 1 LBC as the reward, but it may be higher (we'll get this fixed in the next update).
