 Lightning wallets are hard. Non custodial lightning wallets are harder. Making a business out of an economically sustainable non custodial lightning wallet that is privacy preserving and competitive is insanely hard. 

Sometimes things don’t work out. Even good ideas built by brilliant people sometimes (most of the time) don’t work out. 

If you didn’t read the blog post, you should. If you read it you should read it again. Lot of answers in there.

 Thanks for the reply 🙏 I’ve gotten several good responses including some from Tony that help give more context, and have re-read the blog post and combed through some of the discussion on Stacker News. The news was just sudden, at least for the end users. Mutiny has been one of very few wallets that showed a lot of promise for Nostr users in particular. Maybe it should have been tested more before launching publicly, or maybe it was too overhyped for what it was able to actually do as a wallet, I don’t know. I appreciate their work both on the wallet and their contributions to bitcoin and lightning.
