Scary stuff.  

 I use muun wallet, but sad to see this if its true. 

 Jeez, major casualty 

 Well damn. This was my backup wallet in case my node messed up. 

 USA is quickly turning into a failed rogue state, how long until official banana republic status? 

 It’s already official 

 It's ALREADY a banana republic lol 

 and its main export is US Treasuries 

 Hmmm, could be a game of semantics but I feel as if we here in the USA are already in banana republic status. 

 Wow.. already conceding!  

 Can you really blame them? 

 True, maybe they were sent a message about compliance and they said "We don't need this. Bye!" 

I just don't want to keep going backwards. We will build and grow and continue making things better for the people, unselfishly 

 Maybe so 

 Being removed from the Play Store shouldn't necessitate emptying the existing Android wallets, bc people can still sideload apps via F-Droid, obtanium, or direct apk download. This means that Phoenix users may be in legally grey territory using LSP's. Which is concerning.  

 What’s it portend for primal wallet? 

 Primal wallet is powered by @strike. They are KYC-compliant, so it shouldn’t affect it. 

 Get your app updates from obtainium. Don't rely on centralised stores.

 APK, VPN and Tor 

 Question is, if I cut my existing wallet to Tor, will they still force close my channel because there is a record of it being opened over clearnet? 

 We don't have to be the best, we just have to be right.

 please will you integrate TOR into mutiny like phoenix did? thank you. 

 Ughhhhhh!!!! 

 No! That's my favorite  

 Wtf..

 Imagine still using an app store.

 

 Use non-custodial wallets like Mutiny Wallet or Blixt Wallet 

 Its been a rough week ☹️. This was easily the best lightning mobile wallet to onboard new people to.

 @Mutiny Wallet @ZEUS your time to shine is fastly approaching. Keep building.

 Americans losing what is probably the best semi custodial LN wallet. 

 Its fully non custodial 

 Just emptied my wallet. Sad day for America. 

 Not sad, expected. These things will continue. The state does not want you to have any measure of freedom. They will continue pushing to destroy it. This is precisely the reason that things like Nostr, bitcoin, LN and any other number of decentralized tech exists. More people need to get de-Googled phones. Download apps from providers. Own their digital experience, not allow corporations to curate them. Awesome software will need to be created/hosted in a decentralized fashion. There is a way to push back and win. We have the tools, they will be deployed, the people will rise above the state. 

 really sucks 😬  

 Phoenix wallet is obeying in advance, teaching power what it can do. 

 Something is going down. 

 I haven't used any wallets from an app store. 

 never a dull day in bitcoin land 🥴

i need to recommend a new lightning app now (it is  @Mutiny Wallet by the way)

 Isn't the ability to force close channels an essential part of making LN non-trusted.

Well there goes that. 

 Major oefing, why not just wait for apple to ban yo ass 

 has anyone talked to Phoenix? why did they do this? 

 Their business?

 Buy #bitcoin 

 Because of the FBI warning yesterday

 This guy @jack mallers

He knows their motives, their trade offs, and why they did it.

Just ask him. He’s got all the answers for everyone.

 they want to stay out of jail, apparently. 

 I have to imagine all LSPs will be getting pressured like this. Any routing node operator seems targetable too. (Not FUDing but if non-custodying is no longer a defense, lots of stuff gets redefined) 

 This should be an easy legal win, however. If Chevron gets struck down this is blatant executive legislation. 

 does this affect Canada  

 Sorry to hear that 

 Does anyone know if parking sats on muun is a viable option in the meantime?

I get that the atomic swaps means high fees, but I'm okay with that to avoid being rugged or ever having to go back to a KYC dungeon. 

 Doesn't this imply we can still download from github?  

 Can't really blame them for not wanting to be extradited and thrown into an American gulag.

 Refusing business with USA is a strong feedback. I wish so many companies did it that the citizens would revolt to dismantle the communism they let in. 

 Good thing I never used an app store. #Obtainium 

 Phoenix app spontaneously disappeared from my android phone (in Europe) hours before I read this news. Can app store pull apps from your phone? Re-installed. Luckily I had the seed or I would have been rugged?
