Looks like the shotgun KYC is still there when initiating transactions (need to stress no changes in account usage - funds effectively locked pending selfie). See screenshot. Pathetic and very disappointing.

DONT LIKE THAT. WILL LOOK INTO IT.
JUST TO CONFIRM: YOU CANNOT WITHDRAW BITCOIN WITHOUT DOING IT?
Correct. And thanks - I was just bragging about how well Strike worked everywhere while in El Salvador . . . Then this after returning home and not using it for a few weeks.
Strike is a KYC app, meaning it has a deal with the devil. Censorship, surveillance, and secrecy on their part (not the customer's) is business as usual.
Yep, agreed and understood. The thing is, the existing non-custodial lightning wallets ALL still suck for one reason or another - otherwise I wouldn't have opted to use Strike. I run a lightning node and have yet to find a wallet that consistently just works.

This is my go to recommendation for easy access into purchasing Bitcoin when orange pilling. Shiiiiiiiiiit..
