And I see many clueless noobs nowadays very excited about running their "mobile LN node with Mutiny"... when in fact they are not far from using same old WoS... Mutiny wallet default on mutinywallet.com domain. That means: - you own the LN node keys, yes - you can manage your own LN channels, yes - but you DO NOT own that domain. If that domain goes busted (and can be any time), your funds CANNOT be accessed anymore. image I suggest to everybody that use Mutiny to review very seriously their setup and run their own Mutiny server. I really do not understand why we do not see any Mutiny dev and many other influencers encouraging the users doing so! Here you have the documentation: Or run it with Start9 (is already in their app store) Alternative guide here:

This has always been my issue with Mutiny. Points of centralization quickly become Single Points of Failure in the fight between Bitcoin and Fiat. A Tor-only version would be a good first step to avoid complete and sudden shutdown.

Good point! I had some forced closes with Mutiny so might revisit down the track.
