So I tried LightningLabs Lightning App

And it's been great so far. The set up process is very clean and easy imo.

I funded the wallet with some coins. Transactions with 0 confirmations don't show in the transaction list, I had to wait for at least 1 confirmation.

The transaction detail view has a bug (it might be a ux decision), which shows $0.00 fees for incoming on chain transactions, I can clearly see I paid $2 from my electrum wallet on my phone:

Unconfirmed > 0 conf funds show in the home screen:

I manually opened a channel. You can see my initial transaction confirmed and I have to wait for the new channel funding transaction above to confirm for the channel to be opened (btw I changed fiat to euro, it just shows the btc balance in eur equivalent).

I have autopilot enabled in settings but it did nothing so far. I added more funds but autopilot didn't open more channels. isnt that what it is supposed to do?

So the channel opened. onchain fees are great. I paid $0.78 and have one confirmation in the next block.

Payment went flawlessly, at first attempt, in under 10 seconds.

so this is the best lightning wallet I've tried. thanks for your work.

So things that are I'd like to see: inbound / outbound capacity figures, ability to set % of funds held on ln, in the transaction list show a new column with the final balance. also a bit of criticism, the % in lightning figure says nothing to the user that wants to pay via lightning.

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

https://preview.redd.it/vli0ofqwf6w71.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a704c47375637858c27216379ae8313dadf8be8 This could be a long read. Kindly bear with me. I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?

BACKGROUND Segregated Witness (SegWit) was activated on the Bitcoin network August 24 2017 as a soft fork that is backward compatible with previous bitcoin transactions ( Understanding Segregated Witness ). Since that time wallets and exchanges have been slow to deploy SegWit, and the majority of users have not made the switch themselves. On Dec 18 2017 Subhan Nadeem has pointed out that: If every transaction in the Bitcoin network was a SegWit transaction today, blocks would contain up to 8,000 transactions, and the 138,000 unconfirmed transaction backlog would disappear instantly. Transaction fees would be almost non-existent once again . Mass SegWit use alone could empty the mempool, result in blocks that are not completely full, and make it possible to include transactions with $0 fee once again. On Jan 11 2018 when BTC sends went offline at Coinbase the mempool began to rapidly empty. Later in the day when service was restored there was a sharp spike up in the mempool . Subse...
