Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

Today I'm happy to announce Noah. ⛵
It's a Bitcoin wallet that @nitesh_btc and I have been working on, using the Bitcoin Ark protocol via @secondhq.
Noah and the Ark protocol allow easy onboarding, Lightning Address support, easy backups, fast payments, and much more, while staying trust-minimized.
With Noah, you can easily pay and receive via Lightning without dealing with channel management and inbound/outbound liquidity constraints.
Onboarding is as easy as receiving a Lightning payment. When you onboard, you get an Ark VTXO (akin to a UTXO but offchain) instead of a channel.
You can also onboard via onchain and internal Ark payments.
Each Noah user gets a Lightning Address that they can use to receive, even offline for Noah->Noah payments.
You can restore the wallet securely with just your seed phrase.
Noah is available now on mainnet! Please give it a shot and let us know what you think. ⚡️
SECOND IS NOW ON MAINNET.
Bark, our implementation of the Ark protocol, is available for anyone to start making bitcoin payments.
Included in the launch are our mainnet Ark server, the Bark SDK, and multiple wallets to try from day one.
