Minibits on Nostr: If you’re a regular zapper, you might want to try the latest over-the-air update in ...
If you’re a regular zapper, you might want to try the latest over-the-air update in Minibits.
As you probably know, ecash in Minibits is stored only on your device. Because of that, zaps initiated from Nostr apps like Amethyst or Damus need to “wake up” the wallet using a Nostr Wallet Connect command.
This wake-up happens via push notifications, which allow the wallet to activate and pay even when the app is killed.
Until now, the device waited for each command to arrive in a *new* push notification, which made handling frequent zaps quite slow.
From now on, after the first push notification, the wallet connects directly to the relays and reads further incoming commands immediately—cutting out multiple hops and making frequent zaps *much* faster. 🙂
I’d love to hear feedback from real-world testing! 🫡
Let's make this post feel like winter is coming:
