TLS should be active. Are you using meta.json? I had lots of trouble with that and ended up leaving it in the last state that worked with Fedi:

  "meta": {
    "federation_name": "Cyphertribe Genesis",
    "meta_override_url": "\"https://fm.genesis.ctrb.io/meta.json\""
  },

I will, once a shutdown date is determined. I went by the Fedi meta.json and a lot of messing around rather than the docs. That is what works in practice already.

Let's ask Christine L too! :P

It's more honest to be abundantly clear what happens if the service is discontinued.

For me this is an experiment, not a public service I intend to run past its useful life. Once there are federations with more key holders these would be much preferable to a random online anon holding the deposited BTC.

If you have a good suggestion for where the BTC should be donated to in case people don't withdraw in a reasonable time on shutdown I'm more than willing to send the BTC there. But I won't commit to keeping software I'm not familiar with running forever, because realistically I can't.
