Bitkit

Bitkit is a self-custodial mobile wallet powering lightning-fast #bitcoin payments. Pay anyone, anywhere, anytime.

🔥 Bitkit just got a major upgrade. MAJOR.

Pay people, not addresses. Send payment requests. Manage subscriptions. Hold and spend USDT alongside bitcoin.

All powered by Paykit, right from your self-custodial wallet.

Your keys. Your money. More possibilities.

Meet the new Bitkit. https://t.co/xxb6oTQXBV

Two weeks ago at Plan ₿ Lugano we presented Paykit, an open payment coordination protocol, now live in Bitkit. https://t.co/uUfWx8ifzB

Now we're preparing a BIP.

Why? Legacy, SegWit, Taproot, BOLT 11, BOLT 12, Ark… interoperability is a mess.

If every wallet uses Paykit, no wallet has to reinvent payment requests or subscriptions again. Launching a new Bitcoin protocol gets much cheaper.

Bitcoin and USDT. One wallet.

Bitkit now supports Tether, and it works in Pubky ecosystem too.

Pay in whatever you hold. Get paid in whatever you want. https://t.co/rBGfGLgy8D

Who really controls Bitcoin?

Ask most Bitcoiners and they’ll say: node runners.

But when the rules actually change, a handful of Core developers and miners wield far more power than most want to admit.

The uncomfortable reality of Bitcoin governance:

No more “send me your address” and squinting at a long string.

Tap a contact and Bitkit finds out how they can be paid, whether that’s Lightning, on-chain or USDT, then picks the method that works for both of you and sends it straight to their wallet. Nobody sits in the middle holding the money.

It feels like Venmo, except you hold the keys, no company can block the payment, and nobody asks “what is this transaction for?”

Btw, you can now log into https://t.co/i3oNWl7Apb with your Bitkit wallet, buy stuff and unlock content.

You can even log in with google now, and STILL convert to a self-custodial account anytime.

This is one of my favorite new features for a bitcoin and USDT wallet: subscriptions.

Your coach, your landlord or a creator you support sets up a recurring payment with you in Bitkit. When it’s due, the request shows up in your wallet and you pay it with a swipe.

No card on file, and no company in the middle.

Cancel anytime. https://t.co/xxb6oTQXBV

Some of you asked: how do subscriptions work in a Bitcoin wallet?

Here's how.

Paykit has a peer-to-peer subscriptions protocol built in. The service and you agree on the terms, say $20 a month. No payment method is fixed, so it works with bitcoin, Lightning or Tether.

When it's due, the service sends a payment request to your wallet. You approve it with one tap. Or set an allowance, and your wallet pays anything within it automatically.

No card network. No processor sitting in the middle. You decide what gets paid.

"Just like your credit card, except you're the one in the driver's seat." 👇

[Bitkit @bitkitwallet]

Which Tether? Which Lightning? BOLT 11 or 12? SegWit or Taproot?

Today, every checkout makes you pick, and if you pick wrong, the payment fails. None of these protocols talk to each other.

Paykit fixes it. Each person lists the payment methods they accept under one key. When you pay, the two wallets compare lists and agree on one that works, quietly, in the background.

You just tap pay.

@btc_remnant Hey, no, at least not for the moment.

Payment requests in Bitkit:

Your friend owes you for last night's beer.

- Type the amount. Pick the contact. Send a Payment Request.
- They tap pay, in whatever method you both support.

Bitkit: activar su Passphrase BIP39

Probando @bitkitwallet vi que tiene una combinación que me parece interesante para una wallet móvil: Bitcoin on-chain + Lightning + Passphrase BIP39

1) Desde Bitkit seleccionamos:
➜ Restaurar

2) Escribimos las 12 palabras BIP39.
➜ Nuestra frase de recuperación.

3) Seleccionar: Avanzado
➜ Nos aparece la posibilidad de introducir la Passphrase BIP39 asociada a esa seed.

[Bitkit @bitkitwallet]

You review it in Bitkit and subscribe with one swipe. The first payment goes out right away.

Each period after that, the request lands in your Bitkit and you pay it with one swipe, from your own wallet. Nobody can pull money from you.

All your subscriptions sit in one place. Cancel any time, with one swipe.

[Bitkit @bitkitwallet]

🔁 Subscriptions, now in Bitkit Wallet.

Here’s how they work:

Someone you pay regularly, a creator, a service or a friend, sets up a subscription and sends it to your Pubky: a name, the amount, and how often (daily, weekly, monthly or yearly).
