[00:00] Speaker: So when we ask Onyx to do stuff for us, it's going to do some job stuff in the background that'll go to different providers. Some of those job results may be free, but others will be paid. How do we pay? Well, Bitcoin is the logical thing, and there will be other Bitcoin-based ways to pay, like Bitcoin-based stable coins, perhaps, down the road. But Bitcoin is a great starting point. So we now have the world's simplest Bitcoin wallet in Onyx. Sending and receiving works. We can receive by Lightning, and we can send to a Lightning invoice or Lightning address. And those are actual transactions that I did. I first played around with this wallet 16 days ago and did the rest today. And this is super simple thanks to the Breeze SDK. We're using specifically their new version of their SDK that uses Liquid. It's got some interesting swap mechanism between Lightning and Liquid. You can read about that on their site. But what this means for you is that you don't need to worry about channel management or anything complex. There's not even any sign-up process. You just have the wallet, and then there are your standard kind of backup and restore flows in here for your seed phrase. You'll have a seed phrase that controls both your Bitcoin wallet and your Nostra identity. More on that soon. Let's see. So in tomorrow's video, we'll show kind of this full flow connected where I'm going to make a request. It's going to go to the kind of relay that we set up yesterday, and then the payment will come out. But let's do a little demo thing just to make sure it's working. I'll take a payment to my Albi Lightning wallet. Let's receive. Actually, let's do this. I'm going to pay to my Lightning address. Let's just type that in. OpenAgents at GetAlbi.com. Let's pay a thousand sats. One of the downsides of the kind of base install for the Breeze SDK is that there's a minimum of a thousand sats. We can get around that in interesting kind of creative ways. Let's see if that updated. Yeah, sent. Timestamp got a little messed up there, but that updated our balance. There we go. Less than a minute ago, minus a thousand sats. And Albi should have it. There we go. Okay, so we just sent a thousand sats, about a dollar worth. Bitcoin's at 100K. Yeah, we sent about a dollar of Bitcoin over to Albi. And I guess we might as well try out the same thing. Test. You know what? Let's actually send two thousand sats. So this generates an invoice. I'll copy it. I'll send it. Send to LBTC address. That's their like liquid BTC swap mechanism. So this is, I don't know whether we're calling it non-custodial or self-custodial these days or if it's even technically that because there's some other person involved. I don't know. The point is that you have a key that controls Bitcoin. It's not living anywhere other than your device here. So you can send this to any wallet. There we go. 4,647 sats. That's 2,000 minus the fee that Breeze takes. So you could send this if you're in the US and you have a Cash App, you could send this to Cash App and cash out to dollars if you wanted to. But where we're going, you don't need dollars. OK, so basic Bitcoin wallets. That B up there uses the sat symbol. This is a new thing from the Synonym team trying to get people to switch away from the like eight decimal stuff, which they call classic to the modern standard. And I think that makes sense. So we did that in an earlier version of our apps and we're doing that here too. So we're going to use Breeze for the foreseeable future. We are starting also to beta test this product called Spark from Lightspark, which offers the same kind of thing except kind of faster, no thousand sat minimum and support for stable coins and stuff like this. And they also have a React Native SDK. That's not launched yet, but we're hoping to integrate that next year. OK, Onyx has a Bitcoin wallet. It's easy to use. And we're excited to get this into your hands next week-ish. See you soon.
