This makes me nervous and it’s not my sats😬🫂
Damn, hope you get your sats @Wallet of Satoshi pls fix, thx
Wait until i share the amount. Will await until it hits 100 confirmations, then you should have an idea of their cashflow situation

You shouldn’t use custodial wallet
I take full responsibility but will be making that point with a real example.

Why do you send onchain to WoS?
Do you really think WoS has liquidity issues? 🤐😱
Wanted to support a Nostr dev.
[797705]
Well so far that's how it looks but the amount which i will share later would be a little shameful

I recently learned that you can’t move sats from Umbrel Lightning Node back to Umbrel OnChain Wallet. So I moved from Umbrel Lightning to Strike, then back to Onchain. Keep us posted on your progress. Praying it all gets to the intended place 🤙🏻
What do you mean by that Chris? Can you be more specific? You can always move off-chain - on-chain. E.g closing channels, looping out etc.
I recently accumulated sats on my Umbrel Lightning Node (noncustodial wallet) and when I tried to move the sats to my Umbrel Onchain Wallet in preparation of opening a lightning channel, I couldn’t do it. I tried using Zeus and it sent preexisting onchain funds to myself. Then tried with directly on my Umbrel and got and error saying the onchain address wasn’t a good address. Maybe I did something wrong, but the only way I could move Onchain was
to move through another lighting wallet. I used Strike to accomplish this. I had posted a Note about it this hoping someone would point out my error, but no one did. Have you done this? I thought it should be possible.
Did your funds ever show up onchain friend?
Any updates?
217 confirmations on-chain and no credit yet. I wrote to @Wallet of Satoshi yesterday, DM'd them on Nostr but no reply yet.
Nostriches, so far i stay hopeful, why? Only because they have proven to be first movers on Nostr. I will give them 48 hours. After that, if nothing happens, there will be absolutely no hope for custodial wallets.
✋🏻 i know i know "you shouldn't have used a custodial wallet". In my opinion, it would be a step back to mass adoption. Most do not have the technical skills for self custody.

Hate to here that friend. I hope it eventually shows up. This is a
scary situation to say the least. 🫂
Have you also emailed them?
@Wallet of Satoshi please don’t turn out to be a bad actor.
I did yesterday. It would be a shame indeed
[797872]
Please tell me it’s not a huge amount.
Though regardless of amount this sucks.
Well shit 💩 if that’s the case are we looking at boycotting WoS?
MARCHOFFTWITTER was a few months ago
August month will it be AbandoningWalletofSatoshi?
7.3M to be exact. Some was for Nostr devs i wanted to support, some was for my upcoming trips, some was for temporary parking.
I mean if their cashflow can't handle 2000 usd.
[797874]
Faaaaa that’s a big number.
What do you mean their cash flow can’t handle $2K? You are giving them the money, not withdrawing it.
It’s seems like a technical issue rather than anything else.
I don't trust the withdrawal now, feels like a rug pull. But i hope you're right.
[797875]
I think the big problem is how quiet they’ve been.
Even sinking companies will say some messed up shit to project all is in good order.
Guess best move to do is to try to withdraw what ever yall can to another wallet. Drain them.
Exactly. Them being quiet does not sound like a tech issue.
I'm glad i could face these issues for every Nostrich to see 🤙🏻

Took 24 hours to receive $80 on WOS SMH
You need to loop out of Lightning via Loop or Boltz or you can just close a channel with funds on your side. Either of these actions will put sats back on-chain. I do this often. I use Thunderhub to do it. I use Boltz via Thunderhub. I also have used peerswap, but this is more advanced and more technical. Let me know if you need help doing a swap.
Thanks Derek but as far as my tech skills go, these funds were just sitting on my Bitcoin wallet on my Umbrel, i just sent them to my WOS and went through, they are still pending while multiple confirmations occurred from WOS side.
[797879]
Thanks Derek, someone from the Umbrel Telegram group mentioned I should have used Thunderhub as well. I should have asked for help instead
of assuming it couldn’t be done. I’ll check this out for future use 🤙🏻
Jeebus.
Any update from them yet?
Just got credited but withdrew it all.
[797960]
Oh nice that’s a relief. Still fishy though.
Did you ever get any responses from WOS throughout this ordeal?
They replied to my email, they asked to which address i sent the funds to. 12h later funds were credited but got no more replies after that, so not sure if they did it or if the system simply did.
Either way, i'm out of WOS, that was not cool!
[797966]
What is the purpose to use them to begin with if you run your own node? 🤔
Zaps!! LN address, they were honestly first movers on Nostr.
Or else no other particular reasons, i try and test everything in the ecosystem and i know i'll leave money on the table.
[797968]
Oh but You can do the same thing with other non custodial wallets like Zeus
Yes, i actually do but never got to make it work reliably on mobile as i am constantly on the move. Will revisit.
[797969]
You can also use Alby in a non-custodial way and have them handle all the nwc and “front end” stuff and have the sats sent to your node.
Also easily connects with Zeus.
You can a LNURL with @Alby and then connect it with your node. That’s the easiest 👍🏻😁
Id advise aginst thinderhub. They collet and sell your node data via amboss.
I have a Lightning Node and a GetAlby custodial wallet and I use Zeus to access both. How do you connect GetAlby to personal node though? Currently I don’t think one is connected to the other. 🤙🏻
Read carefully. Instructions are a little outdated i think, s as you can more use REST URI and don't need to include the certificate, just the macaroon
https://guides.getalby.com/overall-guide/alby-lightning-account/features/connect-your-own-node-to-your-alby-account
Definitely not cool and is of concern. I like @Alby for NOSTR zapping and @npub1ex7m...vyt9 for buying sats, but try not to let them build up on either wallet. I know you had a specific case where you needed a large number of sats on dns custodial wallet though. Just glad it all settled out correctly eventually.🤙🏻
Follower please read this thread and advise.
Is WOS a danger? In danger?
Sorry we missed your message @Merrcurr⚡️ . Sorry also for the delay and glad it got sorted out in the end.
An explanation FWIW….With the huge amount of on-chain deposits we process every day, a tiny percentage (way less than 1%) can sometimes have an issue automatically crediting for various reasons. Our helpful customer service team fixes them up as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours.
We have just made some technical tweaks to reduce the chance of this rare occurrence even further. ⚡️ 🙏🏻
Totally agree with @Derek Ross on this
You can loop-out from the channel or you can rebalance.
I use bolts for loop out and ride the lightning for rebalance. Thunderhub is a good option when it comes to managing lightning node and opening/closing channels.
