I’m very happy to announce Blixt Wallet 0.6.8!

It contains a new feature called speedloader by kubernetes (npub1xw0…y3xc), which syncs LN channel db on app startup, leading to robust payment pathfinding.

We want to thank Breez, which this work is derived from ⚡️

https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.6.8

Speedloader loads the channel database file on app startup.

On Android, the channel database file that speedloader uses is automatically cached by a background sync job every 24h.

On iOS & macOS, the file is also downloaded on startup, leading to slightly longer startup times.

Blixt Wallet 0.6.8 has better support for hodl invoices.
On-going payments now show up as "pending" in the transaction log before they are eventually settled or cancelled.

This should result in a better experience when using services like RoboSats.
