Boltz is a non-custodial Bitcoin bridge built to swap between different Bitcoin layers while staying in full control. Support: https://support.boltz.exchange/hc/center
@Jesse Powell 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 🙏

#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:
Which matches:
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 🙏

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 🤯
