This is a beta project, just like the Lightning Network itself, so losing small amounts is a possibility.

I just love the lightning network. Years of development and it still doesn't work.

It actually works pretty well whenever I use it. They are just responsible hackers and are pointing out that it is not production quality yet.

"It doesn't work." <-- "It's still in development! Be patient!"

"It will never work." <-- "It's already in production! You can use it right now!"
