#Bitcoin community, help a fellow Bitcoiner to recover funds! Reposts & @'s highly appreciated🙏
Anyone with contacts to a tech-savvy person at Kraken please relay this! The issue is not easy to get across, user tried with Kraken customer service for two weeks to no avail.
What happened:
- user accidentally pasted Kraken's ln node pubkey as "destination" in a Boltz swap
- turns out node pubkeys are valid P2PKs (the thing before there were Bitcoin addresses), so the swap went through
- now the funds are sitting in a P2PK which Kraken should have keys for
Here the P2PK:
Which matches:
Kraken should be able to return the funds using their lightning node's key to sign the transaction.
We know this is a big ask and some might not even consider the amount worth the effort but for us this is about principles: Returning funds to a fellow Bitcoiner, user of Kraken & Boltz 🙏
