I sent a good amount of sats from a self-custodial Lightning wallet to WoS yesterday, planning to move them on-chain after the weekend. When I saw the posts about a potential rug last night, I quickly tried to send those sats over to Phoenix.

Showed as “Sent” in WoS but nothing in Phoenix - had me pretty worried. WoS email support quickly provided me with the TXID, payment hash & preimage (not that I knew what to do with those). It was encouraging, but still nothing in Phoenix for hours.

Fast forward to this morning; new channel capacity in Phoenix was available and the sats were there. Very long delay to open the channel, but all was well.

Stressful experience but a very memorable lesson, for sure.
