10 sats \ 1 reply \ @denationalized OP 16 Dec 2024 \ parent \ on: What is the best minimalist CASHU wallet for Android? lightning
npub.cash is so minimalist that it cannot be even called a wallet. One can receive LN only through and address. Receiving e-cash, not implemented. Sending lightning not implemented. Good solution for betting on https://www.bitcoinprediction.market , though.
How is that possible to pay a lightning invoice with nutshell and get Invoice paid Mint did not provide a preimage. as described in this issue: https://github.com/cashubtc/nutshell/issues/682
I though that lightning payments work like this: Upon the completion of the payment the recipient reveals the preimage to claim the funds.
How would you explain this behaviour of the wallet / mint ?
My is a non-routing one, and so fee are not a problem. My payments fail despite setting 3% fees. You are a third person here that says there is no problem with payments - but two of you are routing nodes. Perhaps the gag orders are not meant to destroy the LN but rather co-opt it and centralize it, so that it can be censored. Do you run your node as a company?
Lightning nodes are run by people, so people or algorithms set by people will decide what they do with their nodes / channels.
Yeah, people like the ones running Acinq who pulled out of the US earlier this year. Do you think they pulled out because the fees of their peers rather than due to the perception of a prospective threat from the law enforcement. I'm not blaming them, I'm just trying to figure out how to survive - I have had no fiat income / savings for several years..
The fact that you have your channel open doesn't mean the other party cannot disable the channel while not closing the channel.
And this other party may disable such channels because such is the gag order from above, from the law enforcement, or from some government agencies. I am afraid that this is going in the direction of whitelisting - hence my question in order to find out if other people observed similar issues. I don't feel comfortable with mobile devices, that's why I would not use lightning noncustodially. On the other hand, I tend to stay at home a lot in from of a Linux terminal, am comfortable with Bash and scripting. Hence Core Lightning felt like a natural choice. And for a couple of years it worked fine even for large amounts.
Due to my circumstances, I am rarely online - every couple of days when I need to spend sats I am online for a couple of hours. But being rarely online was never a problem when it came to spending sats in previous years.
I use default settings. As an attempt of dealing with the problem I even created a channel with a non-onion node (with wallet of satoshi) and tried to pay over IPv4 instead of over Tor. All this top no avail. The payments do not go through and I always get this type of message:
"code": 210, "message": "Ran out of routes to try after 4 attempts: see `paystatus`", "attempts": [ { "status": "failed", "failreason": "failed: WIRE_TEMPORARY_CHANNEL_FAILURE (reply from remote)", "partid": 0, "amount_msat": 50000000 }, { "status": "failed", "failreason": "failed: WIRE_TEMPORARY_CHANNEL_FAILURE (reply from remote)", "partid": 1, "amount_msat": 50000000, "parent_partid": 0 }, { "status": "failed", "failreason": "failed: WIRE_TEMPORARY_CHANNEL_FAILURE (reply from remote)", "partid": 2, "amount_msat": 50000000, "parent_partid": 1 }, { "status": "failed", "failreason": "failed: WIRE_TEMPORARY_CHANNEL_FAILURE (reply from remote)", "partid": 3, "amount_msat": 50000000, "parent_partid": 2 } ] }
You wrote in this guide:
Use several LN wallets, not just one, spreading your liquidity on few channels, I would say 2-3 channels per wallet/node. No need for more. Do not open tiny channels like 10k-20k-50k-100k. Open like min 500k-1M-2M per channel. Depends also of your spending habits, if you have large amounts moving or small amounts. Think in how much a channel can handle a payment of yours, in and out. Try to have each LN wallet for a specific spending habit (one for zaps, tips,small donations, one for buying beers, groceries, one for buying sats from exchanges, one for swaps etc as you desire). Always move around funds from those channels ! Do not keep them with more than 50% of the balance on the peer side. If you know that will not use a depleted channel anymore, but you hope that someday (you don't know when) you will use it to receive more sats, better just close it and buy an inbound channel on the fly from many other LSP that are already offering on the fly inbound channels. If you already bought such "inbound channel" and you have a contract for 6 months or 1 year with the LSP, you better use it in this period.
I treated my core lightning wallet as a spending wallet whenever there were any merchants willing to accept sats. 7 channels with maximum amounts. But over the last months the lightning payments started to fail. I am now forced to use onchain Bitcoin for my living expenses.
@HYPERBITCOINZATION is a a good guy and the market is a decent business - my payout was manually done by him.
I'm too waiting for my payout. They should require onchain or liquid address as a just-in-case option of lightning not working.
I like the idea. That said, there are still ten pending payouts, as there were ten yesterday, remaining on this bet, https://www.bitcoinprediction.market/predictions/11/what-price-will-bitcoin-hit-by-november-5th . I know from your telegram group that you manually do payouts - this cannot scale if the market is to be popular in the future. When I was betting I was hoping to win some BTC and not to donate to the custodians of bitcoinprediction.market .
I would like to gamble on the US election results, prices of shitcoins going to zero , etc, not just on BTC mining. I am consistently good at it.
The way I do it on polymarket but without the fear of loosing my purchasing power. I think polymarket should switch to BTC or to at least something like wrapped BTC in order to encourage more long term bets.
It's just a shame that things on onions get old so quickly..
Very short-lived indeed. Was hoping to use it as there is problem with routing from my node to ff.io
Cypherpunks run code.
The problem is that if you speak up publicly for someone they just go without a warrant to your house, take your computer and try to steal your Bitcoin and you may end up in custody. Thus speaking for someone may preclude your ability of running code. At the very least it is like saying: "I am a domestic terrorist. Come and take me."
