Electrum Will Support Bitcoin Lightning Network, Wallet’s Creator Reveals

Bitcoin (BTC) wallet Electrum will soon host support for the Lightning Network (LN), Russian cryptocurrency news outlet Forklog reported on Telegram July 5.

In a social media update, the publication said founder Thomas Voegtlin had revealed the upcoming release at the ongoing BIP001 conference in Odessa, Ukraine.

Electrum, one of the oldest bitcoin wallets on the market since 2011, said LN functionality would come as part of an impending major upgrade.

The most recent version of the wallet came earlier this week.

Electrum will be one of the first major wallets to bring LN to the mainstream, the technology itself still remaining in an experimental phase.

I think this news is quite old. I mean ThomasV has twitted this last June 9 already. And below is the video.

However, it is appreciative that Electrum is doing a big effort on their end and continuing to support Bitcoin with their latest LN implementation. And we all know that Electrum is one of the best lightweight wallets out there, although they are not immune to attacks, but they are very quick to response. They've just rolled out a updated 3.3.7 version for those who are not aware of it.
