Enabling Lightning withdrawals was somehow much more complicated than building an EVM-compatible sidechain and forming a whole new company and brand around it. LMFAO. 🍭🤡

Fucking clown world. Took a decent company and turned it to shit. Greed is a weird thing.

i wonder how many of their customers use Lightning? how many asked for Lightning withdrawals? tbf it's way easier and user-friendly to withdraw to an EVM chain than to a self-custodial Lightning wallet. they are a VC-backed company so they must bend the knee to the shareholders.

I can only speak for myself, I’ve been using them since probably 2021 and I’ve been asking them for Lightning withdrawals since day one.

LOL a 0-conf trusted channel is really powerful and people still don't know how to use it.

Zero-confirmation Channels | Builder's Guide

Zero-confirmation channels are channels that are active without being confirmed on the bitcoin blockchain.

With a trusted 0-conf channel you can have your own "sidechain" LOL

I never received an email. Just woke up and the app had changed. And started getting mats tokens along with daily rewards.

if they had significant demand for this feature they'd have implemented it imo. we use Lightning a lot in our smol internet bubble but outside of that... not looking great.

I built a Breez SDK wallet in 4 hours that could have done all of this.

I like how the base unot of the reward token is called a "mat".

yeah, we have tech that makes this easy. my point is that almost no one uses it, and they have to serve their customers and shareholders. a handful of people asking doesn't move the needle. we need numbers.

Definitely not. They bent the knee to chase leverage and yield. Lightning is. It difficult at all to implement.

Their customers were Bitcoiners and they slapped us all in the face.

that's catering to a niche within a niche, it can be bad for business and growth. looks like they chose to trade the customer loyalty of Bitcoin maxis for a larger TAM and more profit opportunities. this is a business after all, VC backed, so they might not even be profitable.

It’s called alienating your users. To try and please your investors. I know the game.
