That is something else.
Mutiny as a whole, LN node is OK, works pretty well for such a new app. I have nothing against it.
I use it and also I installed my own server, testing stuff.
The only thing I want to raise is this aspect:
- Users are not well informed about the risks running the default settings. A simple warning in the app is NOT enough. The dumb normal user will just hit the next button and go away.
- lack of documentation about running your own server and such and is not easy, even if you do it.
- promoted everywhere as self-custodial, when in fact is not by DEFAULT
This is just a warning for regular users.
If you consider yourself a citizen, then yes, you cannot.
No, this is a stupidity. There's no such thing.
You didn't paid attention to that post and the words.
As a living man (sovereign individual), you have the right to travel.
A pass-port is a license to travel for citizens. Not for sovereign individuals.
If you consider yourself a citizen, that means you MUST obey the state rules and premissions.
And I see many clueless noobs nowadays very excited about running their "mobile LN node with Mutiny"... when in fact they are not far from using same old WoS...
Mutiny wallet default on mutinywallet.com domain.
That means:
- you own the LN node keys, yes
- you can manage your own LN channels, yes
- but you DO NOT own that domain.
If that domain goes busted (and can be any time), your funds CANNOT be accessed anymore.
I suggest to everybody that use Mutiny to review very seriously their setup and run their own Mutiny server.
I really do not understand why we do not see any Mutiny dev and many other influencers encouraging the users doing so!
Here you have the documentation:

Or run it with Start9 (is already in their app store)

PSA: LNBits DEMO server (legend.lnbits.com) had an issue during some testing new features !
This is just the first alert for those that WRONGFUL are using the demo server as their own production server.
Soon we will have more details about this incident, posted by nostr:npub1a8jzweysxa9qmtmht874736aalm0lwdsl306nrys9d05ktlrhw3qcr5pj4.
TO BE CLEAR, do not freak out:
- it was affected ONLY the demo server and is not related with production LNbits code
- all other LNbits instances that people are running by their own, are NOT affected !
- do not start doing stupid stuff with your existing LNbits instance. Wait for further instructions.
Here is the initial message from Ben:
Please do not spread baseless FUD.

LOL one thing that I didn't write a guide... zap.stream 😄
Anyways, in regards of OBS, maybe this guide could help you:
If you will use Obtainium to get apps directly from their github, you can just put in the search box the name and you will get the link.
Then Obtainium will just alert you when a new release is available.
anyways... soon email will be replaced by nostr.
So run your own nostr relay.
Yes I run one.
As I said, users must make the difference between private and public use.
Public use - all the communication with public identities and all your public "face" on internet. This could be tuta or proton.
Private - your fucking private life that is non of others business (family, RL friends, direct business partners etc)
Example: I have a private domain, self hosted, used only for my whole family and some friends. Each one have their own account on my domain, controlled by me only.
Another private domain used only for direct messaging with business partners. With some of them even having an email account on that server. Private communication.
public is public, private is private
Nobody: "Darth, do you have a guide?"
Me: ofc I have a guide...
Dear gov,
I identify as a Darth-Cat, so I do not need any of your licenses and/or permissions to do my own business.
Sincerely, fuck off, leave me alone.
"Citizen-ship" is a shitcoin.
The real value will have only the sovereign individuals. Learn how to take back your sovereignity.
Read more, why some words contain the ending "-ship". It came from the Maritime law.
sir, I identify as a Darth-Cat, I don't need any license or permission to use my own money 😄
There¡'s ONLY one law: The Natural Law.
And is very simple:
- do not do harm to somebody else
- do not kill somebody else
- do not steal from somebody else
All the rest are only statutes and regulations that do not apply to living men and women. Only to dead entities (aka corporations).
In the end all resume to this:
Yes, is right that is not easy.
But many forgot to specify WICH TYPE of LN node they should run:
- PUBLIC - for public routing, that indeed require a lot of knowledge, resources and capital
- PRIVATE - only for private use, with few private channels, connected to good LSP and done.
I wrote several guides about these aspects, but who really want to learn more about Bitcoin MUST read.
Bitcoin is not for the weak, is only for the breave !

Bitcoin logos doesn't mean adoption. Is just propaganda.
You should see more merchants accepting Bitcoin.
That is all that matter and how Bitcoin will save this fucked up world.

Samourai wallet, how are these reports to CSIS and CSE going?
I remind all you gullible people, that the company behind Samourai (Katana Cryptographic) and its main investor, is "Cypherpunk Holdings".
Cypherpunk Holdings is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the ticker HODL, and on the OTC market under the ticker: CYFRF.
And here you have the details of Katana Cryptographic registered in the UK, and the name of its founders who go around playing anonymous with their little masks:
https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11394733/officers
Do you also think that the UK security agencies, MI5 and MI6 will allow these activities? Why Wasabi has not been allowed and Samourai has? Think a little bit, you are simply being fooled.
If you think these morons are going to give you privacy, textbook Honeypot, ask yourself if on their servers they run the code they claim to run. And I remind you that these assholes continue to collect the xpub of their mobile users, because they have never fixed this? Other wallets on mobile devices have solved it with block filters(Neutrino),Blixt or Breez for example, but Samourai developers will always lie to you and tell you that this is not optimal for a wallet on a smartphone.
And their Tor architecture sucks, the connection is constantly reused and does not create new circuits.
Privacy can neither be a business nor can it depend on the trust of a third party, just like cryptography.
