 From the issue:

> Supporting Lightning as a payment option is in the backlog for the team managing payment methods. But I can't give any ETA for when that might be available.

They then point out it's the wrong repo to ask this.

> For all non-app related questions and feature requests, please contact support@mullvad.net.

Sounds like cajoling support is the only way :-)

From a privacy point of view, in a world infested with chain anal companies, not supporting lightning is problematic.

 Yup. Never heard back from the payments team. Will bug them again.

 I laud the constructiveness, but it's often better to just vote with your feet, if people show they're not interested in offering the service you want.

(It's a bit of a side issue, but also, vpns are a bit of a strange case where network effects are negative beyond a certain (low) threshold; mullvad got a bit too popular for me to really be motivated to use them any more.)

I'm only an occasional user of vpns anyway so definitely a ymmv situation.

 Yes. And the beauty of submitting this feedback in the open is that the hungry VPN cos will see the feedback. 

This is true for nostr projects as well.
