Just got this email from them. FWIW, was able to pull out the 571 sats that were left.
Dear Bitcoin Magazine App User,
Effective May 31st, the Bitcoin Magazine app will no longer offer lightning rewards. An integral provider for to our lightning solution, IBEX pay, has recently announced the suspension of their US operations as you may have already heard.The withdraw feature will no longer be available as of May 31st, 2024, and we advise all users with remaining reward sats on our app to consider the most critical lesson in Bitcoin – self-custody – and transfer them to cold storage.
When we introduced lightning rewards, we aimed to provide an easy pathway for new Bitcoiners to earn their first sats while completing our free 21-day Bitcoin education course or reading articles. We take pride in the community of new Bitcoiners our program has fostered.We understand this news is disappointing, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

I sent them a link to this article, but they haven't responded. Maybe they don't trust the folks who published it.
Great. No reason for anyone to have that app now.

I got the same email from them and as they are calling it a lesson. I suppose it's most probably a lesson for BM and not for us. We, Stackers already know where to put our Sats in.

They should have asked Vitalik Buterin for a donation. After all, he founded it haha
reply
haha you know, at least they were honest an up front about it.

A lot of the faucet-esqe and custodial infrastructure seems to be in downturn. Hopefully it's just winter season and not the end of an era 🤕
