Announcement: Today we are making Boltz user support safer! 🛡️ Due to the dramatic increase of scammers, trying to extract mnemonics from our users via DM, we are discontinuing support via DM on all platforms. While we are keeping channels like Discord and Telegram for public discussions, everything that needs private communication, like inquiring about details of a swap, will only be processed using one of the following two communication channels: 1. Via support chat at boltz.exchange 2. Via email to hi@bol.tz This concretely means that if someone tries to make you communicate via any other communication channel, IT'S A SCAM! ⚠️ Your Boltz User Support Squad 🧡

This week we pushed out releases with some cool new features: Here is the tl;dr 👇 * 0-amount chain swaps: you can now create chain-to-chain swaps completely without specifying an amount OR when you accidentally sent a different amount from what you specified before, you can now simply accept a new quote instead of having the swap fail 👊 * Proof of Payment: there are dispute situations where you'd like to prove to the receiver that your Lightning payment was successful. Luckily, Lightning has a cryptographic Proof of Payment system built in! BUT, so far it hasn't been used widely as there is simply no practicable way to do so. We are trying to change this, by linking successful Boltz Lightning payments to an external neutral tool that does a very simple cryptogrpahic check and verifies that a payment's so-called "preimage", which is released only when a Lightning payment is successful, matches a given invoice. This amazing tool was built by Roy from @Breez ⚡️, we encourage others to check it out: 👉 validate-payment.com 👈 * add chatwoot support chat integration: our web app now features a live-chat integration for help/customer support 💬 The releases that enabled these features: *

Apart from Bolt12, one more feature of this week's release deserves to be highlighted: 👉 "Any amount chain swaps" 👈 What this means is: you can now send any amount into a chain swap and as long as it's within our min/max range, Boltz will process the swap. This is nice for flexibility (just send vs. decide how much first) but also fixes a major UX issue of boltz.exchange users: - if you accidentally sent too little: your swap still processes with the actually sent amount (instead of failing) and - if you accidentally sent too much: your swap processes with the sent amount (instead of you losing out on the overpaid amount) Two of the most common reasons for failed swaps and support tickets 🤓 DISCLAIMER: only works for chain swaps, not for swaps with Lightning involved Also, we just pushed out a new Boltz Client release implementing Bolt12 and any amount chain swaps.
