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:
