I don't really understand Liquid. I downloaded green wallet and sent a small amount of Bitcoin to it. I thought I could convert that to Liquid Bitcoin but apparently that's not how it works. At some point I will go down the liquid rabbit hole.

You can swap LBTC <-> BTC via https://boltz.exchange/

Thanks. I will give it a try. I was just surprised the swap wasn't available in app.

I did this and got a transaction confirmed but for the past half hour it just says claiming transaction now. Fortunately I only converted 10k sats as a test so if it goes awry it's not a big deal but I am even more confused then when I started.

Did it went well?

Failed. Sats went back to my WoS. Maybe I will try again.

Just tried again and it worked instantly. That was odd the first time. Now I have some L-BTC and I need to figure out what to do with it. Can I buy 2 dollars in volcano bonds?

Yeah, I remember playing around with Green and was quite surprised that there wasn't an inbuilt way to swap between BTC / LBTC and other Liquid tokens (such as USDT).
