I am using this wallet right now, it is much faster than the old Blockstream Aqua wallet. Looks slick, and can be used for Lightning payments now too. Congratulations team JAN3.

I don't buy these arguments. Lets not let perfect be the enemy of good.

Yes, we want Open Source wallets, but I have belief in the team at JAN3 that this will come in time. Getting a release ready and approved is difficult, and we should let them have some time to relax after their first shipped software. I run Bitcoin Core and Core Lightning built from source. I also think custodial and closed source platforms and apps like WoS have their place.

Many Bitcoiners have iphones, and use proprietary software and app stores. This is how people get their software. Yes, it sucks, but pointing at Github is no solution. Most of the world has no interest in github, they want to get a vetted app from a corporate App store. No app store, no users. Its not like this is a new trend.

Don't let the ideological view get in the way of pragmatic progress. This space is entirely voluntary, and lets reward innovation.

I see big things in future for Liquid and Lightning, and I am glad users now have additional tools in their toolkit.
