A few months back, I had enough trying to fiddle with SN wallets and directly zap... so I just took them away, dabbling in shitcoins CCs all day long, while opting to receive sats to my custodial Lightning wallet addresses. Functionality over purity.
Worked great, most of the time: a little pesky when I don't have enough funds to publish, but it's alright; just manually pay.
I made sure to keep a little bit of real sats from daily rewards so that I could zap real sats whenever I wanted to.
... until today, when it's not available anymore:
I zapped, the note received it... and then it just reverted itself:
What's up, SN lords?What's up, SN lords?
Sending CCs works fine.
edit: ...and evidently paying for a post with real sats.
only 417?
I though there might be "k" behind but I couldn't find it.
You playing tricks or wot?
don't need to keep very much more at any time. High velocity/throughput since I'm posting like a motherfucker anyway
Same philosophy
valid
legit the only area in which Darth ever managed to sway my stance
Calling CCs shitcoins is dumb. That shows me that you don't know what is a shitcoin or a token, or simply a credit for something.
same thing
If you have a non-working sending wallet attached, disable it (check disable box and hit save) and you can zap CCs with your reward sats.
We can't know in advance that your sending wallet will misbehave. If it's attached and enabled, we try to use it to pay for zaps still.
I don't have one attached, that's what I was trying to say. It caused too much troubles, so now I just use the SN wallet balance... but that's not working.
...or apparently I freakin' do... and it was just lagging? I understand nothing.
I'm confused. Zapping real sats from your SN wallet isn't supposed to be possible.
I've been under the impression I did that for months. Jeez
I’d guess the UI glitched briefly and didn’t show the zap if it eventually did show.
Lag is always a real possibility
Uhm, that's not how this works, you can't zap custodial sats as sats. They turn into CCs when you zap them.
The whole point of switching to non-custodial was that we are not a money transmitter.
Um, so the balance of sats I have aren't sats... And when I zap them, and the settings draw that that balance (not the CC balance) they still turn into CCs on the receiver's end...?
Man, this is confusing shit
You can withdraw them, but you can’t zap them.
so there's literally no point for me to have them around...?
= well, I guess we learn every day. Makes me feel a tad more stupid than yesterday
I think he's describing a bug. How everything works is kind of secondary.
which wallet do you use for send/receive real sats?
Alby. On occasion/back-up Blink
both custodial? that's why...
@ek helped me here
CCs are so good, and people are more generous with them. You can comment, post, downvote, and use them to boost good content even more.
I think it's because you aren't using dark mode.
Makes sense
If you have disabled sending wallets, you should be good to go zapping CCs/reward sats.
Any problem you encounter while doing that is a bug, and there's nothing you need to do to fix it. Sometimes zaps in the UI glitch like you describe. Refreshing usually fixes it.
I think that's what this post is trying to get at, right? You're good to go.
Yes
