#mining at home. No ASIC, just a hefty computer running Linux and xmrig.

Where's the GUI?

I don't need no fucking GUI!

This is honestly a really sad day. As Mutiny wallet is sailing toward the sunset, I hope that Lightning wallet devs will step up their game to fill the void they left. We need self-custodial wallets that run a node on your phone. We need options. We need the talent.

We probably also need another wallet that mixes Ecash with Lightning to cover everything from very small balances to very large balances. One that let's you start with 100 sat and holds your hands and opens channels for you as you acquire more sats.

I've been building Lightning wallets for years before I started working on Cashu. I know how fucking hard it is. Ecash is child's play compared to Lightning's complexity.

My deepest respect goes to the lunatics who put a fucking Lightning node in the browser and pushed LDK to places where no one else has ever been.

It's becoming increasingly hard to run a Lightning node over the past year. Self custodial Lightning with a great user experience is hard enough, without having USA regulatiors breathing down your neck. I wish this team and their users the best of luck.
