Bakeries association ik Belgium complaining about expensive bank card payments.
It's like they react with a 5 to 10 year delay.
and all they come up with is yhe fiat mindset of 'waiting for our politicians tondo something'
Yeah... keep waiting while solutions to experiment with ate readoly available, and on top of that it wil send a message.
Maybe time for mint stablecoin basket? Like a USD/EUR/GBP/YEN etc 'mint unit' as a stablecoin standard for easy tx.
(on the other hand, inteoduces other risks)

Repost: 'the state of lightning after 9 years'
(still standing behind it, even after a few days of thinking)

1994 immediately reminds me of early electro wave acts, beavis & butthead and absolutely insane parties without any smartphones:/
'steep' as in; continuous **** and closed channels?
Release time!
In our biggest update yet, we've completely redesigned the home screen, added a nostr-based profile setup walkthrough, and have finished our initial fedimint integrations by adding a federation discovery & recommendations!
Most lightning wallets these days are what we call "invoice-oriented." We want to go back to the basics to solve what people are really trying to do: paying a person. We've added a new wallet creation flow to make the wallet about you!
The new version of Mutiny now allows you to create a new nostr profile, or import a nostr private key from an existing profile. From there, you can now DM other mutiny & nostr users to send or request money directly from the app. No more copy / pasting invoices!
To double down on social, we've redesigned our home screen to put people first. We now include a row of recent profiles for quick access. We also now have tabs on the home screen for looking at your payment activity, your friend's zap activity on nostr, and your payment requests.
Next up, better fedimint support!
Mutiny has had beta support for the fedimint protocol for a couple of months now. Instead of opening a lightning channel on your first receive, with a minimum of 100k sats, you can get started on a fedimint with just a few sats.
This new update adds a way to discover available fedimints to join. Naturally, the discovery process is powered by an open protocol built on nostr. You can see who recommends a federation, and add it with one click.
You'll automatically receive funds to that fedimint, as long as the amount is smaller than 200,000 sats, and you'll automatically spend out of that fedimint, with a fallback to your regular lightning balance. You can also swap from fedimint to your lightning balance at any time.
Coming up shortly after this release, we'll be adding federated lightning addresses that lock incoming payments to your key, which you may redeem at any point by coming back online. We'll be rolling this out to Mutiny+ users first, stay tuned!
Let us know what you think! We're excited about this new direction and need feedback to help us continue driving forward.

WtF did #mutinnwallet do with their app?
Common:decide what you want to build: yiu stopped being a lightning wallet this way
Had a few of thede typical dev reactions last month as well.
The normal new user can't even use their zpp or site, onboarding is z disaster usually. And when you explzin + bug report something they act like its' normal or the users' fault for being 'stupid'.
If basic Login is not working, your product is garbage... they don't get it.

Question, why is pegfing out of Liquid Bitcoin to on chain bitcoin more expensive for a 0.2 than a 0.1 l-btc tx?
It's liek the same on-chain transaction with the same custudy token right?
What makes up the price difference?
It's not a market price for a tx is it?

Tried to explain to a wallet dev that on-screen user feedback msg are important... and it's like talking to a brick wall.
'Probablybyser error, shiuld work....'
yeah, and you wonder why no one can onboard anyone with a wallet that has zero guidance for a new user.
