Minibits is a Bitcoin Lightning and ecash wallet that deliver instant, low-cost, and private value transfers — even when the payer is offline.
Why Minibits?
Minibits wallet provides you with a free Lightning address, and with Nostr Wallet Connect built in, it's perfect for sending small tips—known as "zaps"—on Nostr social networks. More, Minibits delivers true Tap-to-pay experience to Bitcoin, combining ecash with NFC - even if payer remains offline.
Hightlights:
- Get free Bitcoin Lightning address to which the wallet can receive or send both lightning and ecash payments
- Add your address to your Nostr social profile to receive zaps directly to the wallet
- Zap (tip) your follows on Nostr network in a single tap using Nostr Wallet Connect
- Multiple other payment scenarios: QR codes, LNURL pay and withdraw, instant send of encrypted ecash over the NOSTR
- Interoperability with any other Lightning wallet
- Send and receive ecash payments even the payer is offline
- True Tap to pay experience using NFC
Security:
- Seed phrase backup and recovery of both ecash store on device and of your lightning address in case of device loss
- Storage of keys and seed in secure Android keystore
- Optional biometric or PIN code authentication to enter the app
- Retry transaction after recoverable errors
If you are using this app, please do not forget:
- Ecash is stored physically on your device, so the loss of the device means the loss of coins. Make sure to keep your seed backup safe.
- Both the Cashu protocol and the Minibits wallet are still experimental, and by using them, you accept known and unknown risks.
- You trust mints issuing ecash tokens. Connect only to the mints known to you or run your own for your close community.
