I eventually got some sats back, but they got stuck in limbo during a forced closure that completed while we were experiencing terribly high onchain fees (which was the reason for my attempt to move forward with a trustless lightning option). I fell for the lie that you could run a private lightning node on a pi. Multiple times. Liquid was my next step and it worked beautifully. I would have continued regardless of the federated trust model, but nobody uses it as a currency and moving it into something useable kills all the privacy benefits. By the time fediments came out, i was already too far down the privacy rabbit hole to care about federated custodial lightning solution run by infinitely more incompetent individuals than the liquid network.
