Oddbean new post about login | logout Here’s a question. Let’s say the FBI decided to shut down the Muun wallet. They don’t use 12 words. They use 8 words specific to Munn. Would you be able to restore your bitcoin somewhere else if Muun was seized? I’ve on-boarded many friends and family and told them to use Muun to start. #asknostr
I think the answer is No. Muun is a different type of custodial wallet. I also did introduced it to new coiner but I did specified that would not be the last solution or the best one for self sovereignty.
I’m a little worried.
I understand, and so do I, but we can't do much, because pushing people to more responsibility when they are not technically ready yet can be even worse. #Bitcoin needs time and effort to study and understand it. It's about separating money from the State, and the State will constantly try to come after your money.
I never recommend Muun bc their backup system is different from everything else, if they go dark I think you have to run a Muun tool. They also aren't a real LN wallet last time I've seen, so when onchain fees get high Muun user get hit with very high fees for LN payments.
This wallet is empty. But you can skip all that Google cloud storage and get the emergency kit and tgis will let you restore your wallet https://image.nostr.build/1fbc7850e053869c8e44d2f1e4dc9484c4d8b4619c7e693ca070c0a71b4e7831.jpg
