Important update: Mutiny Wallet will be winding down operations by the end of the year.
We're exploring new directions as a company. For full details on the shutdown and our future plans, please read our latest blog post: https://blog.mutinywallet.com/mutiny-wallet-is-shutting-down/
PSA: The functionality of multiple Fedimint federations is significantly degraded due to severe DNS issues.
It seems to be the case that some federation guardians have an XYZ domain that the DNS registrar has taken over. Freedom One and Bitcoin Principals appear to have one guardian offline due to this.
Unfortunately, despite the server and keys for these guardians being intact, there is no way for the DNS of a guardian to be swapped out after the fact. We became aware of this issue last week and then became aware that multiple federations are experiencing this: https://github.com/fedimint/fedimint/issues/5482/
Given the critical state of these federations, with one guardian out of four being permanently offline, it's essential that if you have funds in these federations, you should withdraw them immediately. Unfortunately, we're unaware of other public federations, so you must withdraw to another lightning or on-chain wallet.
From our experiences, intermittent/connectivity issues can occur with guardians, and this may result in errors if not all three remaining guardians are consistently online. No other guardian of these federations has XYZ or other domains like it. So, if you're having issues, please try again later.
Unfortunately, not much can be done on the Mutiny side, so we're removing the federation setup flow in the UI as a first step. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Update: A small hotfix has been deployed restoring connectivity to all known federation guardians with this issue. A longer term fix is in progress and will probably be in the next major fedimint release.
Huge thanks to the team there! Remember, fedimint is still early but still very promising. We thank everyone testing out this software and providing feedback and patience 🙏
I created an invoice with nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg web app and the wallet I paid from said it completed, it’s been a few minutes and mutiny still hasn’t received it
Anyone dealt with this before?
Is the wallet you're paying from aqua or muun? People often report this issue because both of those are not real lightning wallets and the payment will actually fail
Yo nostr:nprofile1qqsd79ejwuvz7v246danxqs3hgw7f2q4qrqz6x27je8er0nhfmykwzqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtccj3mkl. Do you have to be a Mutiny Plus Subscriber to get a LN Address with you guys or is that free now?
The reason I ask is that the epic film Dirty Coin wants a reusable LN QR code/address and I was suggesting Mutiny.
Yes it's for plus only right now, however, we've currently disabled new people subscribing due to issues the with the federations
So I installed the Mutiny for my daughter, sent some sats and then the app crashed before I was able to do the back up. Now the sats belong to the mint (freedom one I believe). So that's my contribution to nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv . Keep up the good work;)
We have been posting to not use the federations as they are in a comprised state as of now
nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg any thoughs why nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg doesnt recognize my mutiny.plus addres??
We've disabled the mutiny plus lightning addresses for now because we want to encourage people to exit the current mainnet federations
We posted this 3 days ago before we turned it off. Sorry for the inconvenience, but given there's no usable public federation that exists in a healthy state, it's useless right now.
These are likely intermittent issues with the federation. I would just retry again later
If you don't have enough inbound liquidity you'll have to open a new channel
Withdraw to an on chain address.
Swaps have always been hit and miss. Your best option is to withdraw them off Mutiny and into another wallet. Try throughh LN, if that doesnt work, on chain.
We'll consider it for the others. 99% are probably using public ones and this drastic measure needs to be put in place.
You send to a different wallet over ln or on chain.
Yes. Those rely on federations and there's no public working ones. We are asking people to withdraw and leave federations, not keep depositing into them.

An update to our apps have been made that should help performance when a single fedimint guardian is down. Please continue withdrawing out of the Freedom One and Bitcoin Principals federation. The LN gateways might be experiencing heavy load so try on chain if you need to. Getting plenty of reports of successful withdraws so far today, try again if you had issues before.
The fedimint team is working on short and long term solutions but for now it's best to withdraw and remove the federations. We have turned off lightning addresses for now too.
Sorry for the issues.
Google "XYZ serverHold", it's a common problem apparently.
We'll have an update out soon fixing the loading issue when multiple federation guardians are down.
