We love them stickerss
Boltz is offline right now, be back in 2-3h.
We were essentially offline already for the past hours without noticing it because LND *deadlocked* itself once more in the weirdest way - invoice creation just stopped working reliably.
We are as annoyed as you are 😑 pls bear with us!
And before you ask: Because of ... reasons our new CLN instance couldn't catch this and smoothly take over this time.
We'll make sure next time it will 💪
Today we shipped a major update of our docs:

* combining previously fragemented docs of boltz-backend, boltz-lnd & more
* prioritize flow of API integration
* outdated -> updated

⚡ Routing Node Operator Pro Tip: If you want to do some volume, get in between us and lightning CEXes like OKX. We are routing some serious volume towards them and routes are constantly exhausted. Market do your thing - go!
Nostr &⚡ > X !

⚠️Announcement⚠️
Boltz's services will be down for a scheduled maintenance tomorrow June 28th from 7:00 (am) UTC for roughly 1.5h. Reason is a restart of our lightning node due to a memory leak in the latest release. There will be a new release fixing the issue shortly.
