When I was running nodeless, it shocked me quite a bit to see most regular businesses were turned off by a no-kyc, unregulated payment processor. It was pretty demoralizing, that what I thought was our best feature, turned out to be a detractor. In addition to ultimately getting us in trouble with fintrac.

If I had built a non custodial zap wallet and everyone continued to use custodians, I'd feel the same way.

But ultimately the lesson I took away from this was, we need to stop building products for each other based on what is said in the bitcoin echo chamber.

We need to build Bitcoin products that are easy to use and understand for normies, even if that means making trade off that we (Bitcoin psychopaths) may find offensive - like custodians and KYC.

This is my current thesis, anyway. Maybe the market is about to teach me another hard lesson.

strike is my go to for stacking sats. it's so incredibly easy to just send 'cash' from my bank account to my lightning address. it makes quick smash buying incredibly easy.

Pushing back in ways like this is probably the only way it stops. nostr:note12k23yk6p27ddv8z98kqufj2435v357r9nv56yrlqyw86jve8azhqdgqfff

Any good that the Mutiny team did for self custodial lightning is overshadowed by this move to shut down their service so soon after launching. Has it even been a year? How many companies can expect to be successful after such a short time? How much of the funds they received from grants and other donations did they pocket? What are they not discolosing about their reasoning for shutting down. Fuck that and fuck them unless they’re more forthright with everyone about what’s going on.

Apples for days. 👌

Leave the rat race, join the sat race ⚡️

samourai wallet left me. phoenix wallet left me. mutiny wallet left me.😢

what are y'all using for wallets these days? (especially lightning)

It’s not much, but it’s honest work.

Another happy customer.

Michael Saylor has a poopy bum

disappointed in the current state of HWWs.

I'm never shilling a fucking wallet again. Everyone I've onboarded has had to migrate like three times 😭😂

Zeus and Alby Hub are the only hopes RN.

Zeus needs to get way easier for normies and less error prone.

Alby Hub seems right over the target for making an easy to run lightning node for all platforms, but will be beholden to the same issues as mutiny if they ever decide to shut it down, LN address and 'account wise'.

Phoenix needs to open up their app to selfhost the LSP and launch in USA again.

At the end of the day though, I think the only people who won't get rugged are us node runners. My raspberry pi that everyone shits on has run a successful and reliable node since 2019. RUN YOUR OWN NODES
