Minibits went through an unplanned outage of the server running the mint's lightning node. It is now back up and operational.
However, as a result of the outage part of the lightning channels are in the closing process. Most remain operational with enough liquidity and I do not expect user issues when reaching Minibits node.
I am really sorry notably for troubles caused to partner lightning node operators with whom the channels are force closing.
