it also supports lightning network, although it seems to be a custodial wallet which is a bit strange. i have to look into it more.
I actually use it
because it's custodial. That makes using the Lightning Network much easier than opening your own channel, and protects me from (high) on-chain channel closing fees. For large amounts I wouldn't recommend it, but for small amounts I don't mind trusting Bluewallet with my Lightning Satoshis.
Things I've noticed while using this wallet:
I like that I can easily create a new wallet inside Bluewallet. I haven't used that for serious things, but I can think of a few uses to separate funds.
I'm Nuno from bluewallet, this feedback is really great and unexpected, glad to see the wallet is useful. Happy to answer any questions or doubts.
Welcome
Would you mind updating
your own thread with the latest information? I think this wallet deserves a stronger presence on Bitcointalk
The Blue Wallet LN wallet is custodial, meaning the operator of Blue Wallet has control and custody of the coin within an open LN channel. Blue Wallet advertises their LN wallet to be intended for only small amounts of coin.
It has pros and cons. Pros: easier and less fees. Cons: they can run away with your money. For large amounts, funding your own channel might give lower overall fees (although I'm not sure about this).
I've funded BlueWallet, it's now waiting for confirmation. It has an annoying bug on Android: when entering the BTC amount, the keyboard doesn't show a decimal dot. I had to copy/paste the amount to be able to send less than 1 Bitcoin.
This is fixed in the latest version.
I also noticed it doesn't
instantly update it's balance. That's not really a big problem, but one of the great features of LN is the ability to quickly make many small transactions. It would be nice if the balance can keep up with this.
