This would be even better nostr:note1qpc7auaheyu88qrkqyzkm00pp068zesxs66flkd7skzpud8m9dpq2eus4g

I kind of hope the first block mined after the halving is an empty block.

I updated to 1.6.5 from test flight. Switched back to the Bitcoin Atlantis federation where I had 9 esats. I successfully made a 7 sat payment from the federation (which I couldn’t do prior to the update).

I also noticed as soon as I switched to the Bitcoin Atlantis federation the entire wallet got noticeably slower. As soon as I left the federation the wallet speed went back to normal.

Mutiny team getting shit done! 🫡 nostr:note173m9vu45h823av55epmmfxzwh5zqrgzg8e3ewy5wdkdrd2sac8ss7fhsff

I’ve updated the GitHub issue with logs and notes. I also switched federations and everything is working now.

I had the same thought as you and did this 15 minutes ago. I’ve resolved my mutiny federation sweep/spend issues by moving to a different federation. Everything is working now.

I tried both multiple times to multiple nodes and with many different amounts. This issue appears to be the same as mine: https://github.com/MutinyWallet/mutiny-web/issues/1041

I will add to this issue my logs later tonight.

I think I’ve been rugged by my first fedimint. I haven’t been able to spend or sweep these “sats” to self custody. I’ve been trying for multiple days. No bueno

Phases of ignorance in my Bitcoin Journey

Phase 1: Hey! Bitcoin is AWESOME! Let me buy some on Coinbase.

Phase 2: Coinbase is not a viable option, gotta find a different source. I discovered Nostr! This lightning wallet is REALLY nifty and easy to use.

Phase 3: I can buy Bitcoin on CashApp and send it directly to my wallet! But.......THIS lightning wallet isn't a viable option cause I don't hold my own keys.

Phase 4: I'm running my own lightning node, life is awesome, except Cashapp and Strike are KYC and I'm pretty sure I'm on a government list now for owning bitcoin.

Phase 5: The lightning node was a huge failure, lost a lot of money in force closures. I hate lightning. Sticking to Layer 1 ONLY! Also, Robosats and Bisq are awesome ways to buy noKYC coins.

Phase 6: The Mempool fees are killing me because of these people called wizards? Why does it cost $30 to send my $50 in Bitcoin to my wallet?! I'm already paying the noKYC premium!!

Phase 7: So lightning isn't too bad after all, but I still don't trust myself to not blow up a node, so I'll find a happy medium. Also, nobody told me that putting noKYC sats in a wallet with KYC sats would be a problem. FML

Phase 8: Discovered Sparrow wallet and it has this thing called coinjoin that supposedly makes it harder to track funds, what's the worse that could happen? Maybe this will allow me to buy cheap KYC sats and just mix them into infinity! Haha, ignorance is bliss!

Phase 9: Coinjoin was really expensive, and nobody told me I needed to keep my computer on while it ran. I haven't seen my sats in months. Why am I even doing this?

Phase 10: Finally finished mixing, my Cold Storage system is perfect! It would be a shame if I accidentally sent some KYC sats to my post mixed wallet.

Phase 11: I accidentally sent some KYC sats to my post mixed wallet. I've contemplated my existence and why God has allowed such incompetence to remain on planet earth. Also, finally understand the importance of VPN's which just makes this point sting that much more.

Phase 12: I discovered Liquid Network, and I now have a perfect system where I buy noKYC, send it straight to Liquid until the amount justifies a cold storage UTXO. Never touches lightning, and while I'm trusting in a federation of bitcoin companies to not come together and rug me, my odds are infinitely better than if I were to try and run my own lightning node again. Plus, the noKYC gives me all the benefits of a coinjoin without the high fees.

Phase 13: To be continued

I can relate to much of this. Hopefully you can appreciate some of, if not all, the journey you’ve taken.

This is so true. I have found myself multiple times in the Mutiny wallet app searching for Nostr follows and sending 21 sats just because it’s so dam slick.

Depends on how many kitchen appliances you’re willing to tolerate. They do an excellent job at very specific cooking tasks. Reheating friend leftovers is my favorite application.

Anytime I need to take my vehicle to an auto shop of any kind, I’m mentally preparing myself the same way. I once took my truck in for a state inspection and was told I needed to replace my wipes that I just replaced myself a week before. I just said no thanks.

I’m not using the LSP. I think the cause is some other tradeoff. I wonder if it’s route finding related.

I have both a federation and a lightning channel. I have a balance of more than 10k sats in both. My lightning channel is not from the default LSP. I opened a channel to my Mutiny wallet from my own node and removed the LSP from the server settings page.

I would take this redemption flow trade off if it meant sending small zap amounts was seamless.

Receiving zaps via mutiny.plus LNAddress feature has worked well for me. I tried to use nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg for sending zaps in Damus for a few days and gave up.

Mutiny NWC auto approve didn’t work and the manual approval process is painfully slow. The best self custody Damus experience I’ve had is using nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 with my own node. Zaps with Zeus take 1-3 seconds. Zaps with Mutiny take like 10-20 seconds each (if they even go through).

I love the work the mutiny team has done. I just want to give honest feedback on my experiences so far.
