Time To Clean UpTime To Clean Up

Not every app that self-proclaim itself to be a "Bitcoin wallet" is a Bitcoin wallet and deserve to belong in the SN attach list. Some so-called LN wallets are not only meaningless — they’re harmful too. They waste time, mislead new stackers, and eventually outright trap people into shitcoinery and scammy setups.

Take Blitz Wallet as an example, not despising the app, but from a personal experience here: #1232869. It isn’t even a real Lightning wallet. It’s not self-custodial—I think because you have to reach to the support to approve your outbound payments. it’s not Bitcoin LN-at all, as it leans on some submarine shitcoinery swaps-style scam— here: #1232896.. That’s not what SN is about. We’re here for pure Bitcoin, real value, and sovereignty. Anything less is confusion at best, scam at worst.

If SN is going to remain a place for real stackers, the wallet attach list needs pruning. Every non-Bitcoin, non-LN "wallet" should be stripped away. Newcomers deserve clarity, not traps disguised as LN.

Let’s make it simple:

Keep only pure Bitcoin LN wallets (third-party custodial or self-custodial—preferred, open-source when possible).

Cut the noise (submarine services, custodial scams, anything that mixes in shitcoin trickery). Why? Just as Bitcoin is never Bitcoin without a node, LN without a LN node is a crappy joke.

Protect the new stackers by ensuring SN only points them toward tools that embody the values of sovereignty, freedom, and self-discipline and responsibility.

SN is about stacking real value—sats, friends, skills, knowledge, responsibility, freedom, discipline and satisfaction.

Rather than disallow, I might be more supportive of badges that show what kind of underlying tech the wallet uses for sending & receiving
