In the past days we are seeing the majority of @Liquid_BTC swaps in the 1k-10k sats range and practically no mainchain swap below 1 million sats. Market doing its thing. Beautiful to watch 🤓

60 sats/vbyte to >400 sats/vbyte in less than 3h is the new normal. Prepare accordingly.

And just like this Snort is so much more awesome! Had some issues in the past, but damn this works reaaally well now! Kudos @Kieran @HoloKat @Sirius @verbiricha

@npub1dc2n...u5hg please at least consider it. If "extracting" the private key of your node is a too dangerous endeavor, totally understood - we are running big nodes ourselves. But would appreciate a statement 🙏 View quoted note →

#Bitcoin community, help a fellow Bitcoiner to recover funds! Reposts & @'s highly appreciated🙏 Anyone with contacts to a tech-savvy person at Kraken please relay this! The issue is not easy to get across, user tried with Kraken customer service for two weeks to no avail. What happened: - user accidentally pasted Kraken's ln node pubkey as "destination" in a Boltz swap - turns out node pubkeys are valid P2PKs (the thing before there were Bitcoin addresses), so the swap went through - now the funds are sitting in a P2PK which Kraken should have keys for Here the P2PK:

Kraken should be able to return the funds using their lightning node's key to sign the transaction. We know this is a big ask and some might not even consider the amount worth the effort but for us this is about principles: Returning funds to a fellow Bitcoiner, user of Kraken & Boltz 🙏 #Bitcoin never gets boring.

We just increased max swap amounts to 0.25 BTC across all pairs, including mainchain. Looking at you, big swappers 🫡 We also reduced @Liquid_BTC min swap amount to 1k sats. Using cold storage for #Bitcoin micropayments is a reality 🤯
