All of the apps listed below are compatible with the Bleskomat Bitcoin Lightning ATM. With each wallet it is possible to install the app then immediately receive payments. Please read the details of each app to decide which one is right for you.
Phoenix
This wallet app is a full mobile Lightning Network client which gives you self-custody of your bitcoin and does all the channel management for you in the background.
This app is developed by ACINQ, the creators of the Eclair Lightning Network node software and operators of the largest Lightning node. The company was founded in 2014 and is based in Paris, France.
Self-custody – Write down your 12-word recovery phrase on paper and keep it safe!
Fees are charged by ACINQ to open a channel with in-bound capacity to your new Lightning wallet when you receive your first bitcoin payment. The minimum initial payment is 10000 sats or ~2 EUR at an exchange rate of 20000 EUR / BTC. The fixed fee amount for this initial channel is 3000 sats.
Send or receive on-chain payments. Note that when receiving an on-chain bitcoin payment, you won’t see the amount reflected in your balance until at least one confirmation.
Automatic backup of your wallet’s Lightning channel states to your phone’s cloud storage. And optionally save your recovery phrase to cloud storage as well.
Breez
This wallet app is a full mobile Lightning Network client which gives you self-custody of your bitcoin and does all the channel management for you in the background.
This app is developed by Breez. The company was founded in 2018 and is based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Self-custody – Use the “Encrypt Backup Data” option to encrypt the wallet backup which is stored in your Cloud storage. Write down the 12-word phrase and keep it safe.
An initial setup fee is charged by Breez to open a channel to your new Lightning wallet when you receive your first bitcoin payment. The fee amount is 0.4% or 2000 sats (minimum) whichever is greater.
Cloud backup is required to backup your wallet’s Lightning channel states and private keys.
Additional features include Podcasts 2.0 integration and a Point-of-Sale terminal interface to receive payments.
Muun
This wallet app supports both on-chain and Lightning payments. It uses a 2-of-2 multi-signature scheme where your phone is the first signer and Muun’s cloud service is the second (or “co-signer”).
This app was first released in 2018 and is developed by Muun Wallet Inc. – a company based in the United States.
Self-custody – Sign-up with email and password to backup your wallet. Be sure to complete all backup steps including preparing your “Emergency Kit” to achieve full self-custody.
Please note that Muun uses a non-standard backup and recovery scheme.
Both on-chain and Lightning Network funds are combined into a single unified balance. Payment channels are abstracted away and handled automatically in the background.
Fees for on-chain payments are variable depending upon the current average fee rate paid by other transactions in the mempool. The on-chain fees also affect the fees paid to receive your first Lightning payment as a new channel is created in the background.
Wallet of Satoshi
Very simple and easy to use but it is custodial so we recommend not to leave much money in it.
This app is developed by Wallet of Satoshi Pty Ltd. The company was founded in 2018 and is based in Australia.
Custodial – not your keys, not your bitcoin.
Login with an email address so that you can recover your funds later in case your phone is lost or stolen.
Fees are paid when sending or receiving bitcoin payments. For example, the usual miner fee for on-chain payments and routing fees when sending Lightning payments. An additional 0.3% fee is charged when receiving on-chain payments.
Send or receive on-chain payments. Note that when receiving an on-chain bitcoin payment, you won’t see the amount reflected in your balance until at least one confirmation.
