i tried it, the nwc was never very reliable for me. but i didnt get via the google playstore either so 🤷‍♂️

I think the app needs to be open for it to work. That's a common issue with mobile apps.

ya, so it makes using nwc with it pretty hard if the nwc is being used in a separate app. coinos.io has nwc too for their wallet and ive been meaning to test it. Since coinos.io wallet is via a web account it should work better as far as custodial solutions go ( think the custodial alby nwc from what ive read) . they also have an ln address for receiving supposidly.

I've used CoinOS and had some issues with SN. Still not sure what was the issue though.

I'm running GrapheneOS. Haven't noticed that issue.

Starting to see issues with it. Failed payments. I don't think it has anything to do with background process. Wondering if it is an issue with their Lightning node. Seems to have nothing to do with the app running in foreground or background.

After all they use NWC and it is an eCash mint. The mint isn't in the app. The lightning node isn't in this phone. Its on a server somewhere.
