Here are further details for the wallet shutdown. It's time to move your funds out and close any lightning channels. Our blog post has the info you need to start self hosting and plenty of FAQs. https://blog.mutinywallet.com/mutiny-timeline/
The lightning network requires fees in order to transfer funds. 2 sats can't really go anywhere, on any wallet, and is worth absolutely nothing. Sorry for your loss.
Important update: Mutiny Wallet will be winding down operations by the end of the year.
We're exploring new directions as a company. For full details on the shutdown and our future plans, please read our latest blog post: https://blog.mutinywallet.com/mutiny-wallet-is-shutting-down/
Maintenance and support will be the biggest concerns. There's unfortunately no one outside of the team that has any familiarity with the very technical pieces that make up the wallet. While it is possible, I would take caution and manage expectations using any community or self hosted version going forward. We will not be available to assist.
Is the wallet you're paying from aqua or muun? People often report this issue because both of those are not real lightning wallets and the payment will actually fail
Swaps have always been hit and miss. Your best option is to withdraw them off Mutiny and into another wallet. Try throughh LN, if that doesnt work, on chain.

An update to our apps have been made that should help performance when a single fedimint guardian is down. Please continue withdrawing out of the Freedom One and Bitcoin Principals federation. The LN gateways might be experiencing heavy load so try on chain if you need to. Getting plenty of reports of successful withdraws so far today, try again if you had issues before.
The fedimint team is working on short and long term solutions but for now it's best to withdraw and remove the federations. We have turned off lightning addresses for now too.
Sorry for the issues.

Yes. Those rely on federations and there's no public working ones. We are asking people to withdraw and leave federations, not keep depositing into them.
We posted this 3 days ago before we turned it off. Sorry for the inconvenience, but given there's no usable public federation that exists in a healthy state, it's useless right now.
We'll have an update out soon fixing the loading issue when multiple federation guardians are down.

PSA: The functionality of multiple Fedimint federations is significantly degraded due to severe DNS issues.
It seems to be the case that some federation guardians have an XYZ domain that the DNS registrar has taken over. Freedom One and Bitcoin Principals appear to have one guardian offline due to this.
Unfortunately, despite the server and keys for these guardians being intact, there is no way for the DNS of a guardian to be swapped out after the fact. We became aware of this issue last week and then became aware that multiple federations are experiencing this: https://github.com/fedimint/fedimint/issues/5482/
Given the critical state of these federations, with one guardian out of four being permanently offline, it's essential that if you have funds in these federations, you should withdraw them immediately. Unfortunately, we're unaware of other public federations, so you must withdraw to another lightning or on-chain wallet.
From our experiences, intermittent/connectivity issues can occur with guardians, and this may result in errors if not all three remaining guardians are consistently online. No other guardian of these federations has XYZ or other domains like it. So, if you're having issues, please try again later.
Unfortunately, not much can be done on the Mutiny side, so we're removing the federation setup flow in the UI as a first step. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update: A small hotfix has been deployed restoring connectivity to all known federation guardians with this issue. A longer term fix is in progress and will probably be in the next major fedimint release.
Huge thanks to the team there! Remember, fedimint is still early but still very promising. We thank everyone testing out this software and providing feedback and patience 🙏

We now unify the on chain balance with fedimint if you have one. But would require you to send out and back in while having a fedimint added. Sorry for the confusion.
Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.
https://blog.mutinywallet.com/harbor/
Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.
Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.
Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.
https://m.primal.net/ISqH.png
Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.
https://m.primal.net/ISqJ.png
Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.
https://m.primal.net/ISqK.png
Harbor Automation: Running as a desktop app unlocks ability to do long running processes in the background. Move money in and out of mints on your preferred schedule to maximize your desired level of privacy. Harbor makes suggestions, but you are in control.
Move money in and out of Harbor using Lightning or on-chain. We love Bitcoin, and we love privacy. We hope Harbor gives everyday people more privacy and peace of mind.
When it is ready. We mention in the article a few features we still need to develop first. Though you can compile it and play around with it on signet first if you want to try it out and let us know what you think.
https://github.com/MutinyWallet/harbor
It's been about a month since we launched Lightning Addresses and we're excited to see so many people using it already!
We took some time to explain our unique privacy-preserving fedimint-based approach with our new Blinded Authentication system.
https://blog.mutinywallet.com/blinded-authentication/
Mutiny+ gives access to the TestFlight for beta testing, as well as lightning addresses, we'll be working on more features soon. You don't lose anything if you stop paying.
Release time! 🚀
In 1.7.0, we've made a number of performance improvements, bug fixes, and new features, but here's the ones we're excited about the most:
- On chain fedimint support
- Transfer funds between federations
- Node operates in a web worker now, the UI should be quicker
If you have a federation added, all on chain deposits to Mutiny will go into there.
We have full send and receive support now, so this effectively gives you a unified balance with fedimint, allowing you to send or receive via onchain & lightning.
The Bitcoin Atlantis federation is shutting down at the end of the month. We now parse all of the metadata for federations and will display pop up warnings like this.
https://m.primal.net/IFBE.png
Included in this release is the ability to transfer funds from one federation to another to make this seamless.
Lastly, we've moved all the core logic into a Web Worker. That means the UI thread doesn't have to fight with Mutiny for resources. This should make most wallet operations faster, and keep the UI responsive at all times. It's a big change, so if you see any problems let us know!
We're a lightning wallet primarily. If someone adds a fedimint and isn't using a node or on chain wallet, they should expect the funds to go to the fedimint.
If you don't want funds in a fedimint, don't add one.
PSA: In case you missed it, Bitcoin Atlantis is shutting down their fedimint.
If you have funds there, open mutiny or fedi and transfer your funds to a different mint or wallet.

A great write up about LDK challenges and why they moved to Breez. All of these we also ran into and solved:
1. Custom rust library around LDK
1. Rapid Gossip Sync bugs and slow syncing
2. Unreliable routing algorithm
3. Concurrent device access w/ just seed word backup
If you would like advice building on LDK or would like to use our MIT libraries to assist in the development of your wallet, please reach out.
We're a small team of 3 people but happy to help in any way we can.

Soon ™️
We have a few quirks to sort through next week, but who would like to test out a new LSP soon? Would require closing existing channels and changing LSP settings.
