Running a reliable lightning node is not for the faint of heart. Respect to Minibits (nprofile…htq3) and all who run them. They are crucial infrastructure making lighting payments possible.

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.
