I like the "Generate Lightning Invoice" option for the Lightning Network feature....
Right! You can seamlessly switch between making an on-chain transaction and lightning. Make a deposit on-chain, withdraw using lightning!I just want to ask a question... Seeing that a major "Mixer" owner gave up the data of it's users when things got heated a while ago, would it be possible to create a Mixer service that are OpenSource and decentralized and not owned and operated by a centralized individual or group?
Yes, this would be very possible even while largely retaining the current code of blindmixer. This is something we're interested in doing in the long-term, as it is currently the single biggest caveat of blindmixer! ...Though we're not quite sure yet how complicated this will become. Sorry for the lack of detail in my answer; I am intentionally keeping this a bit vague for now as it's a bit of an empty promise as of currently.
It will give proof that logs are not stored and it will not be controlled by a owner that can give up any personal information or transaction history? (The code can then be scrutinized and Peer reviewed by experts to confirm that)
Please note: blindmixer already has this. We cannot link your in- and outputs like traditional mixers can, though we can obviously still log your ip and so forth.Making the mixer decentralized would as I currently see it really only change the backend and besides decentralization not add much in terms of actual privacy related features... + We might actually have to scrap certain features like lightning completely.
It can still push the "fees" to an address that are predefined in the code and the receiver of those funds can then use other mixer services to hide it's destination. 
I think in a multisig scheme such a thing would not necessarily be required - signers can agree to a predefined split and correspondingly dynamically sign transactions or blinded coins.
