Path finding in a payment depends on many aspects:

  • enough liquidity in that direction. Liquidity on both sides.
  • enough small fees on the route.
  • correctly updated the LN graph (maybe the node Y still "can't see" that node Z is online, even that maybe the node Z is OK, but the graph on the node Y is not yet updated with the latest status of the node Z
  • node Z enough inbound liquidity and routes
  • wallet that is used for that payment - maybe is using too low fees level, maybe it can't use too many hops etc
  • the Y and Z nodes are behind Tor and they have a bad connection, that will go back to badly synced graph ... etc etc etc

So yes, in general a payment could not find a correct route. Try again later or increase the fees.

Oh, must be Tor connection and low fees. Will try later with increased fees to see if that’s the problem and then open a channel anyway with Z for future transactions. Thx!

Your explanations are so didactical and well done. If you could take just half the time with the poor, confused shitcoiners and show them the the force, instead insulting them with capital letters, we will have a better world.
