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 @HaloKat @Sirius @verbiricha

#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 🤯

Boltz LND channel partners: our LND node is down for the typical db maintenance. Be back in around 2h. Boltz swap services continue functioning as usual.

GM. We increased liquid swap limits from max 0.1 BTC -> 0.2 BTC ✌️

We'll do some channel cleanup on our LND node tomorrow. Expect between 200 and 300 inactive public channels to be closed. It's very much needed and there is no need to panic.

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 💪

⚡ 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!

Our API is now additionally reachable at api.boltz.exchange and JSON output in the browser is finally working. Try it out with e.g.: https://api.boltz.exchange/version All available calls: https://docs.boltz.exchange/en/latest/api

⚠️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.
