#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: https://mempool.space/address/02f1a8c87607f415c8f22c00593002775941dea48869ce23096af27b0cfdcc0b69

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 🙏

#Bitcoin never gets boring.
