Blink Wallet

New post! Have you ever thought about how Bitcoin grows? We explore the fascinating concept of network effects and how every new "orange pill" moment contributes to Bitcoin's exponential growth. It's a powerful force!

Weekly Brief 2026/20 Every M-Pesa number in Kenya is now a Bitcoin Lightning Address — 40 million endpoints. Lightning volume hit $1B/month. Bolivia quadrupled its merchant count in a year. And LDK just released the server node that powers Cash App, Square, and Alby. blink.sv/blog/weekly-br…

Blink probes LN routes to determine accurate fees. With some nodes, probing fails or user doesn't wait for probing to finish and slides to send before fee is calculated. In that case, Blink charges an estimate that is a lot higher than the actual fee, which we only learn when the payment is settled. So in these cases, Blink makes a fee reimbursement of the amount that has been charged in excess of the actual fee, and you get it back to your balance as "Fee Reimbursement".

Our car wash accepts Bitcoin, creating a self-reinforcing loop of bitcoin usage in our community. What starts here with clean cars today could revolutionize how communities transact tomorrow. From local action to global impact - this is how change happens. #Bitfitness 💪🧡⚡️
