I am just wondering if someone can tell me whether the time that appears in the details of a comment or post, belongs to any particular time zone.

I have noticed that the time is two hours behind my time zone which is GMT. Is it correct?

I've seen phoenixd being discussed here quite a bit, and I have a question about it.

It seems great, and it works seamlessly. But, isn't it a bit too expensive to actually use it?

Having to pay 2m sats (~2k USD) to open your first channel seems massive. And any sats you send to it are basically trapped until you send at least 2m sats, which will go to pay the fee, so you end up with 0.

Am I missing something here?, or does it really cost about 2 grand USD to use it in practice?

The fee for the channel is not 2m sats. That's the default channel capacity. You pay 1% + mining fees for channels, so for a 2m sats channel, it would be around 20k sats.

mmm, I actually have an issue with SN and phoenixd when making payments.

It seems that SN sends an OPTIONS HTTP request when trying to pay an invoice, which phoenixd replies with

"Invalid http method (use the correct GET/POST)"

If I change the OPTIONS to POST in my localhost test it seems to work fine.

I also am able to manually pay the invoices created in SN, so the only thing wrong seems to be the OPTIONS method in the request, when it actually should be POST.

This is actually an issue in phoenixd.

Because the request is cross-origin, your browser sends an OPTIONS pre-flight request. Phoenixd should handle that, but it doesn't. I guess it assumes that only other servers will call it, but not a browser.

However, since you will also need to reply with CORS headers, you will need to run a reverse proxy to enable CORS anyway. You can then also handle the OPTIONS request in the reverse proxy.

For reference, this is my nginx config:

upstream phoenixd {
  server 127.0.0.1:9740;
}

server {
    server_name phoenixd.ekzy.is;
    listen      80;
    listen      [::]:80;

    return 301 https://phoenixd.ekzy.is$request_uri;
}

server {
    server_name         phoenixd.ekzy.is;
    listen              443 ssl;
    listen              [::]:443 ssl;

    ssl_certificate     /etc/letsencrypt/live/phoenixd.ekzy.is/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/phoenixd.ekzy.is/privkey.pem;

    location / {
      if ($request_method = OPTIONS) {
        return 204;
      }

      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always;
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow_Credentials' 'true' always;
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' '*' always;
      add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET,POST,OPTIONS,PUT,DELETE,PATCH' always;

      proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Prefix /;
      proxy_pass http://phoenixd$request_uri;
   }

   include letsencrypt.conf;
}

Does this make sense to you?

OK, cool, it makes sense. I thought there was something wrong. I just need to configure this a bit more. Thanks for the reply.

You're right!, it works flawlessly.

I actually read a bit into it, and you can even get an estimate of the current fees, so, for example, to receive 2m sats, you would have to pay this fee right now:

phoenix-cli estimateliquidityfees --amountSat 2000000 { "miningFeeSat": 1219, "serviceFeeSat": 20000 }

So a total of 21,219 sats for receiving up to 2m sats, which is about ~1%.

The main achievement of economics is that it has provided a theory of peaceful human cooperation. This is why the harbingers of violent conflict have branded it as a dismal science and why this age of wars, civil wars, and destruction has no use for it.

Went for a free trial class in Minecraft coding, courtesy of The Empire Code. Initially, I expected to avail myself of hard selling of its courses during the 30-min lesson. Hence, I was pleasantly surprised to note that no parents were allowed in the premises, which meant that I could enjoy some respite at the nearby Starbucks. My 30 mins of freedom flew by in a flash. I appreciated how the trainer took time to give me feedback on how my son had taken to the course. Again, I was expecting to have to stay for a sales talk. However, contrary to my expectations, the receptionist waved us goodbye, stating that someone would be in touch with us later. I really enjoy The Empire Code’s non-pushy way of doing business!
