Lightning Fork for Android 0.2.0

Lightning Fork for Android 0.2.0, a test build. It's a remote for your own Lightning Fork node; your funds stay on the node.

New

• Pay SHA256 invoices. These are Lightning invoices from the SHA256 chain, paid through a service you set up in the dashboard (menu → Paying SHA256 invoices). Before you pay, the app shows:

  • the most the payment can cost, routing included;
  • the service's fee;
  • how the price compares with the market.

  You only pay if the service pays the SHA256 invoice. Your activity shows what was paid and the proof.

• Settings says whether the app can reach your node away from home, and where to set that up if it can't.

• The Bitcoin mark matches the dashboard's.

Needs Lightning Fork on your node at StartOS 0.21.3-beta.15:0 or Umbrel 0.21.3-beta-blake2b.15.0 or later. Without those versions, everything else still works, but SHA256 invoices are refused as before.

Install

Download lightning-fork-0.2.0.apk, SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.asc, then check them:

gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc SHA256SUMS
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

Install the APK over 0.1.0; it stays paired. If you're installing for the first time, allow installs from your browser or file manager when Android asks.

APK signing certificate SHA-256: ef6d6eca37ced88d8dd36e11b2558ce59bfb386ad0b51e7226370d396304d392 (the same as 0.1.0).

Pair

In the dashboard's menu, choose Mobile app → Pair a phone and scan the code with the app. The Mobile app screen says whether the app can be used away from home and how to set that up:

• On StartOS, Lightning Fork offers a task that adds the onion address.
• On Umbrel, it happens on its own once Tor has published the address.

Not yet

• Lightning addresses and LNURL.
• Managing channels from the phone (use the dashboard).
