Today, I'm happy to announce Noah. ⛵

It's a Bitcoin wallet that @nitesh and I have been working on, using the Bitcoin Ark protocol via @Second.

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. ⚡️
