TLS115: Tony Giorgio on Building Mutiny Wallet, Browsers over App Stores, and Lightning Everywhere

Tony Giorgio is the co-founder and CEO of Mutiny Wallet, a self-custodial Lightning wallet that runs in your web browser.

In our conversation, we discussed why Tony first set out to build Mutiny, the benefits of building on the web, why Mutiny is integrating things like Nostr Wallet Connect and Coinjoins, and then we explored the state of the Lightning ecosystem and reflected on Tony’s latest blog post - Lightning Everywhere.

This show is a Lightning podcast. That means instead of asking for likes or shares, I ask for sats.

The best way to show your support is to download Fountain from the App Store, load your wallet with some sats, and send them over the Lightning Network to kerooke@fountain.fm.
