There's already people losing bitcoins from using it too early. This is one of the first losses.

Dood! That is EXACTLY what I was talking about before. Development 101! Test first, then TEST SOME MORE, then pay somebody to hack it for you (if necessary) and THEN release it...  Undecided


They HAVE NOT released it.

Enthusiasts are modding testnet code and going rogue on mainnet, some devs are actually pretty bent about it.

My sense is that everyone testing on mainnet knows it is a risky beta and is fine with losing the funds they are experimenting with.


Everyone apart from a few customers of the Blockstream Lightning-only merchandise store who haven't done their homework. But I suppose the store will have to reimburse them for any errors.

Blockstream launched a Lightning-only merchandise store using its own Lightning implementation, c-lightning, and a Lightning main net explorer suggests more than $33,000 in bitcoin has been transacted via Lightning Networks.
