The idea behind #lightningnetwork is seducing but its reality is less glamorous.
Exactly 7mo. after testing @bluewallet I learn that they decide to shutdown their one server, effectively locking me out from my non-less-glamorous 109 Satoshi.
We could argue about the specific BlueWallet practises but alone the fact that this situation can occure is less than comforting.
Being in charge with their own keys is not trivial for many. But even that is not enough if you need to rely on non-trustless 3rd parties.
On a side note, I wonder if BlueWallet made ANY communication about all those "unmoved" funds. Obviously, I am not after 109 Satoshi but the idea of being locked out of even 1of them is unpleasant.
