they need a receive wallet attached to receive a bounty

Why can't he receive Cowboy Credits for the bounty?

reply

I have C lightning attached to my wallets here, is that not working?

If you have enough liquidity to receive 500k sats, then it should be fine.

reply

Yes, I have it

@clenchwallet your wallet logs show that requesting an invoice of any amount results in a 404. You should make sure your wallet and related services are running. You can visit your wallet and on the configuration screen test the connection to verify it's working after you make adjustments.

reply

Thanks. Can you check again?

@k00b what am I doing wrong?

We probably can't find a route to their node with that much liquidity. I'll look into it.

reply

It might be that I need to generate an invoice here is SN wallet, I see that as an option...

reply

You wanna give 500K CC that can only be spent on SN!

A bounty should be real money!

reply

I'm a little annoyed every time I send huge zaps someone replies "Too bad those are Soyboy Credits!" etc...

reply

better ask for a lnaddress and send them p2p

reply

But I want to get credit for awarding the bounty on SN. Can't have anyone thinking that I don't pay my debts.

reply

Ok if that's the case @clenchwallet will need to attach a wallet, there's no other way around it. Also always double-check the @nym because we had a few impersonators coming up and a bounty like this could definitely attract @cIenchwallet (with a i instead of a L) and other similar nyms... so verify you are sending to the right user, because as you know, theres no refunds policy with bitcoin.

reply

There is another way around it: Accept Cowboy Credits for bounties.

reply

that's another option the user needs to set up too. If not set you'll continue getting that error.

Why should my record as a bounty issuer get discredited depending on whether or not the bounty receiver takes a specific action? This is a terrible counterincentive that delegitimizes the bounty feature.

why? bounties award the full amount in sats. routing fees come out of the sender's end.

reply

Why not? I explained here: #1548027

I could simply dump a 500k CC zap on clenchwallet right now and circumvent this artificial restriction. But I want this bounty to show as "Claimed", so I would rather make use of the feature's intended functionality. It shouldn't be this much of a hassle to give away money.

I was asking supratic.

If we let you give CCs, this would be a lie. It's not theoretical. I've been dealing with people pissed off about receiving CCs for years.

reply

but again, to receive sats, one must have a receive wallet attached to it, correct? or would the sats sit on their sats wallet balance until they attach a wallet?

they need a receive wallet attached

reply

what if the user didn't? pay bounty button will be then not available?

I think you can. Do you see the pay bounty button near reply in every comment?

And as I mentioned here, triple-check the user nym before clicking the button, or ensure you allocate the bounty to the right comment.

reply

True, I forgot about the bounty behavior having changed since the last time I used it.
