One of the bigger Lightning Network payment providers CoinOs, went down, and apparently there's little to no in-depth soul searching about this. Why is this concerning?
Well, because they're one of the good guys. Doing their best to make an understandable UX, have good services, even supporting LN, Liquid and on-chain seamlessly.
Yet, a mishap at a datacenter caused them to go down, and they don't have a good means to restate the balances of the last 24 hours.
While podcasts are filled with the 1000th take on the OP_return "telenovela" , we ignore that one of the bigger LN providers can go down and there's little to no redundancy possible.
Think about it. This is important.
