Great extension, but it appears a bug was introduced recently that no longer allows me to pay lightning invoices. I receive the error, "You have an insufficient balance. Please try a smaller payment." Even though there is sufficient balance. The Android app will work successfully when trying to pay the same invoice.

I had a tax nightmare using the bitcoin tab to buy and sell entirely on their platform. Strike switched exchange providers during the year and all subsequent sales did not include the cost basis on 1 of the 2 1099's resulting in missing cost basis reporting and showing only the proceeds. They could have provided customers with an aggregate 1099 to include all taxable transactions made between their providers. Had I known this would have resulted in fragmented reporting I would have never used the service to begin with. Completely unacceptable and horrendous customer service. Punishing customers with tax compliance issues due to changes you made with back-end providers.

My account was shutdown without explanation. In fact, the only explanation I received was do not contact support as I would not get a response. They kept about 61K of my sats too. I don't feel the app is very well explained as to what you're supposed to do with it. I only did things it allowed me to do. Maybe I'll get a reply here and either get my account back or at least my sats.
