In a few months my family and I will need to visit some relatives in China. They haven't seen the kids yet and I want to see them before the world gets too cucked. So.... I'm in a bit of a pickle as of what to do with the bitcoin on my phone, and in particular the lightning channels. The opening/closing fee's look pretty good at the moment but I have a feeling it won't last long.
Anyway, I'd like to have some LN functionality to show some of my friends and relatives how it works and what they can do with it. I'm just thinking about how I want to cross the border and I'd appreciate some help from the SN hive mind.
Australian border force have the right to search through all your belonging including laptops, phones etc. China most likely also have the same rules too. I'm pretty sure they can't confiscate the funds unless it's over $10k, but I just don't really want anyone going through all my stuff. It's definitely nowhere near that much and I know haven't done anything wrong.
I have a few ideas as to how my family and I cross this border.
A: Don't do anything. Keep your phone as it is and hope for the best
B: Close channels and delete everything from the device and memorize seed/s
C: Don't close channels, don't take the device and live without bitcoin for a few months
D: Other
