Blixt wallet

[BitGoba]

Blixt is a non-custodial, open-source Bitcoin Lightning wallet available for both Android and iOS, with a strong focus on usability and user experience.

Blixt is a mobile app that lets you use the Lightning Network for fast and low-fee Bitcoin transactions. Unlike some other mobile Lightning wallets, Blixt runs a lightweight Lightning node directly on your phone using LND and Neutrino. This gives you full control over your funds and private keys. For advanced users, Blixt also offers the ability to manage their own channels if they choose to.

The wallet supports a wide range of advanced features, including Keysend, Lightning Address, LNURL, WebLN, Tor support, and more. Blixt is developed by Hampus Sjöberg, a Swedish Bitcoin enthusiast who named the app after the Swedish word for "lightning."

I can not recommend the bitcoin lightning wallet yet. I can not recommend it because the wallet developer did not yet recommend it.






I use BIP39 seed phrase wallets and Iancoleman to check if the 24 words seed phrase the lightning wallet generated for me would be valid, but it is invalid. I tried it the second time but the seed phrase is not valid.



What kind of seed phrase is it using?



It also supports Google cloud backup

The wallet is still experimental and there are a lot of bugs, so it is best to be used by developers ----> https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug

Lnd uses "Aezeed" seed phrases.

NEVER listen to any recommendations coming from member BitGoba!
He also did heavy promotion for another LN wallet Alby that is known for stealing funds from their users, and charging inactivity fee
And BitGoba should really change his name to LightninGoba or LNGoba, this suits him better.

It also supports Google cloud backup

No surprise here, and most of lightning network is on cloud.
This are experiments what LNGoba supports.

Alby is a custodial Lightning wallet, making it very easy for beginners to get started. Many Bitcoiners recommend Alby, just like they do Wallet of Satoshi, because both wallets are simple, beginner-friendly, and allow you to start using the Lightning Network in seconds

One of the biggest Bitcoin YouTubers, BTC Sessions, made a tutorial video about the Alby Hub service and how to use it.In earlier videos, he also recommended the Alby Wallet.

It comes with its own terms and charges fees, which is expected , after all, it provides custodial services and manages Lightning channels on your behalf. Naturally, they charge for the convenience they offer.If you want full custody of your funds, the best option is to run your own Bitcoin and Lightning node, manage your own channels, and connect a wallet like Zeus directly to your node.If you run your own node and manage your own Lightning channels, you won’t be paying custodial fees , in fact, you can even earn sats through routing fees by helping facilitate transactions across the network.
