Mutiny Beta Readme
Welcome to Mutiny Beta! We're excited for you to try out our wallet, but wanted to let you know about a few rough edges so you don't get cut.
Any questions or concerns, or just want to hang out with other Mutiny users? Join our matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#mutiny-community:lightninghackers.com
Here's the wallet: app.mutinywallet.com.
If you see an invitation to join a waitlist you'll need to enter the nostr pubkey or email address that we approved (it doesn't hurt anything to submit the same one multiple times). If you want to use a new email or nostr pubkey no worries just let us know what it is so we can whitelist you.
If you see a list of nostr notes that means you've registered but you haven't been approved. Let us know which nostr pubkey or email to whitelist.
You can set up the wallet in any browser you prefer, but the "best" way to use Mutiny right now is probably to install it as a PWA (Progressive Web App, basically makes Mutiny look like an app). If you start using the wallet in the browser before installing it, the funds in your original instance won't transfer to the installed PWA (we'll hopefully have a better solution for this before launch!)
-
On iOS click the share button on the bottom bar and scroll down the "Add to Home Screen".
-
On Chrome Android there should be a prompt to install at the bottom of your screen.
-
If you prefer to a desktop browser there are also ways to install PWAs there. Firefox, Chrome, and Safari have been tested.
Mutiny is an on-chain and lightning wallet, so use it however you prefer. The main thing to know is your first lightning receive necessitates a channel open. This is similar to how Breez and Phoenix work. Let us know if you find anything about this confusing or difficult because this is one of the biggest potential humps for new users.
We've initially designed Mutiny to be a "spending wallet," so please don't put more money on here than you'd be comfortable carrying around in your cash wallet.
- No automatic backup of lightning state
If you write down your seed you should be able to recover any and all on-chain funds, but we don't currently do any automatic backup of lightning state.
If you dive into the settings and find the "I know what I'm doing" button you can actually save your entire state to a file and import it into another browser. This poor man's backup is not foolproof but can be helpful if you need to switch browsers.
- No built-in restore
We have the logic to restore from a seed but it's not currently implemented in the frontend, so getting back your on-chain funds will be a manual process. This should be fixed soon!
- Multiple tabs at once break things
If you have Mutiny open in multiple tabs simultaneously there's a potential to break your lightning state and therefore cause channel force closures. We have plans to fix this but have not implemented yet. Be aware!
- Contacts are WIP
You can add a contact but contacts currently don't list related activity. Also can't be deleted.
