Can sweep old paper wallets!

I dug up an old paper wallet someone had given me years ago with a few satoshi on it that I completely forgot about, but it turns out no other apps support scanning an actual private key anymore except this one! That kind of dedication to backward compatibility and to the early days of Bitcoin says something about the developers.

This app was also easy to onboard onto and figure out for a Bitcoin novice. I love how simple it feels despite lots of features. Transfers to other wallets was straightforward and the fees were reasonable (on par with Coinbase). I haven’t used all the other features yet, so I may update my review later, but first impressions have been great.

Potential to be a top hot & cold wallet for LN, LQ & BTC

I appreciate that Green has a non-custodial wallet for both Liquid and BTC, and even an experimental Lightning wallet.
The top, unique features:
- You can create multiple wallets (unlike Breez, Aqua and Muun).
- You can restore a wallet from another wallet app (unlike Breez, Aqua and Muun) - even Aqua Liquid transactions tied to a BTC wallet show up in sync on Green.
- You can use your Green wallet app on multiple devices simultaneously (unlike Breez and Muun). - Green offers both BTC and Liquid for cold storage on their Jade device (and can be set as Watch Only wallets on Green).
- the LN wallet uses true Lightning (unlike the higher fees/swaps of Aqua and Muun), but it is still very glitchy in it’s Beta stage

I’m excited about the integration of both Liquid and Lightning technology. If Green were to combine the features of Aqua for swapping it would be a five-star wallet.

In my current testing and comparison Breeze is better functioning for Lightning send/receive. Aqua is necessary for Liquid swaps (tip: restore your Aqua wallet in Green to basically integrate their tech here). But if you want to move Lightning back on chain to BTC than Muun is the cheapest and most efficient (tip: Exchange via LN send to Muun to swap/send BTC to Green Jade cold wallet).

Cannot connect my new Jade Wallet

When I try to connect my new Jade via Bluetooth and pair it, it does not connect. It just stays in “logging in” menu indefinitely. Very frustrated as I just bought the new Jade and the iOS is having issues. 0 stars if I could rate it.
