nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg do I need to backup my wallet state? Or is it sufficient to just backup my seed words?

With the release this week, now only the seed words are needed! At least for all balance related stuff. Metadata isnt backed up yet.

You have to Warn people they can’t restore a wallet with passphrase

I think you can as long as you have the seed phrase, since it’s not part of the backup.

No you can’t if you set a passphrase. I think they removed that function.

But couldn’t you restore it with another wallet like sparrow?

When I set mine up it just had a password option, not an β€œextra word” passphrase.

That’s what I meant. If you had a password on it, you can’t restore it. I tried

Ok, so the password does not equal a passphrase?

Not if you have any lightning channels. Maybe another non custodial lightning wallet

This needs to be emphasized more, because people may not realize Lightning needs an active connection to work. You can always close your channels and restore the balance on-chain, but you’ll need your seed phrase to access the funds.

If your wallet has a passphrase, you gonna have problems restoring it. Be careful

Yeah we've removed that for the time being while we fix it. We have work arounds in the meantime.
