Blixt Wallet v0.6.9-420: Lightning Box

• "The final frontier is here for the 0.6.x release line, v0.6.9-420. Nice!"
• "This one has a great new feature for Android, Lightning Box."

Lightning box

• "Lightning Box is a Lightning Address provider for mobile nodes like Blixt Wallet, letting you receive Lightning Address payments directly to your phone."

"This works in conjunction with the Persistent Mode released in v0.6.9, which allows Blixt Wallet to stay active in the background in order to receive payments. You can also use this for nostr tipping."

• Register your own Lightning Address from the left menu -> Advanced -> Lightning Box.

"Lightning Box is open-source software and you can run your own instance, working seamlessly with Blixt Wallet."

• A draft specification for the protocol can be found here.
• The Blixt Project hosts a Lightning Box service for @blixtwallet.com Lightning Addresses.
• "In the future we will look at Lightning Box support without using Persistent mode and for other platforms than Android."
