I have money stuck in limbo right now because of a failed LN transaction. Waiting to contact wallet developers. It still doesn't work

6 months away, what? I use it on a regular basis. Before covid I could even buy beer & burgers in my city. You can get coupons for everything, many online stores accept it.
