Nice. Blixt Wallet is back with v0.6.9! We have a lot of new stuff in this release, such as a new stable Tor implementation, Persistent Mode, Simple Taproot Channels support, 0-conf channels support for Dunder LSP, and a bunch of new languages. https://github.com/hsjoberg/blixt-wallet/releases/tag/v0.6.9 --- This release has a new Tor backend ("newtor") on Android that should be much more robust and reliable. You don't need to do anything in order to experience it, just make sure you have Tor enabled in Blixt settings. --- Blixt Wallet now has support for Simple Taproot Channels! Your private channels will just look like normal Taproot transactions if you do a coop close, which is great for privacy. Dunder LSP & autopilot will also support this feature in the near future. --- Blixt Wallet on Android has a new Persistent Mode, which lets Blixt stay in the persistently in the background. This can be helpful if you're awaiting a payment, or if you just want to keep in-sync with the chain. Depending on the device, this mode may drain more battery life. In a future release, we will allow self-custodial Lightning Address support for users opting in to the Persistent Mode. --- There were a lot of more stuff than the ones discussed here, so be sure to read the changelog.
