Say I wanted to free some funds back onto my BTC core wallet, what’s the best way to do that?  
The swap feature in Thunderhub perhaps?

??? 😲 Well, if you spend BTC opening lightning channels from a on-chain wallet, then just close the lightning channels to get them back to the on-chain wallet, obviouslly. Sorry if I didnt get what you mean…

Ok, that makes sense.  
Closing channels comes with a cost, as does swap via bolts.  
Guess I need to compare what’s cheapest.

Another alternative is to send lightning to a wallet in Muun. Then you can transparently spend those BTC on-chain or on lightning from the Muun wallet. Ofc you will then put trust on their service, but it’s still non-custodial.

Not sure how they do their magic 🙂
