“Blixt Wallet is back, and we have an important new feature called Speedloader!”“Speedloader syncs the wallet’s channel database (“channel graph”) on startup. This is important for payment pathfinding and will make sure you have an up-to-date database.””In previous versions of Blixt Wallet, the channel database would only sync with Lightning peers when the app is active (or when the background sync job runs on Android). This can be problematic as it may lead to missed channel updates, which in turn can result in more errors in pathfinding.””Opt in to this new feature by enabling it in the settings under the Experimental category.”
