Welcome to Mutiny Beta! We're excited for you to try out our wallet, but wanted to let you know about a few rough edges so you don't get cut.

Any questions or concerns, or just want to hang out with other Mutiny users? Join our matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#mutiny-community:lightninghackers.com

Getting started

Here's the wallet: app.mutinywallet.com.

If you see an invitation to join a waitlist you'll need to enter the nostr pubkey or email address that we approved (it doesn't hurt anything to submit the same one multiple times). If you want to use a new email or nostr pubkey no worries just let us know what it is so we can whitelist you.

If you see a list of nostr notes that means you've registered but you haven't been approved. Let us know which nostr pubkey or email to whitelist.

Install (optional but recommended)

You can set up the wallet in any browser you prefer, but the "best" way to use Mutiny right now is probably to install it as a PWA (Progressive Web App, basically makes Mutiny look like an app). If you start using the wallet in the browser before installing it, the funds in your original instance won't transfer to the installed PWA (we'll hopefully have a better solution for this before launch!)

  • On iOS click the share button on the bottom bar and scroll down the "Add to Home Screen".

  • On Chrome Android there should be a prompt to install at the bottom of your screen.

  • If you prefer to a desktop browser there are also ways to install PWAs there. Firefox, Chrome, and Safari have been tested.

Your first receive

Mutiny is an on-chain and lightning wallet, so use it however you prefer. The main thing to know is your first lightning receive necessitates a channel open. This is similar to how Breez and Phoenix work. Let us know if you find anything about this confusing or difficult because this is one of the biggest potential humps for new users.

Spending wallet

We've initially designed Mutiny to be a "spending wallet," so please don't put more money on here than you'd be comfortable carrying around in your cash wallet.

Known issues

  • No on chain UTXO management yet

If some emergency happens and you need to recover your on chain funds, you can recover your on chain funds from a seperate wallet like Sparrow. The derivation path for the on chain funds is m/86'/0'/0'. WARNING: This should only be done if you're sweeping out and are done with the wallet. Do not simultanously manage the on chain funds in another tool while you're still using Mutiny. Especially on transactions that might be associated with opening / closing channels. YOU MAY LOSE FUNDS.

  • Contacts are WIP

You can add a contact but contacts currently don't list related activity. Also can't be deleted.
