Thanks for the info. So stackers here need to keep balances below 250k to message others?
It appears so.
reply
To receive messages, I think? Though I didn’t think the limit was that low. It’s been a minute since I’ve been in the code though
reply
Maybe that low limit is new, because I'm pretty sure I've messaged with a wallet balance more than 250k?
reply
I think it’s the recipients balance that matters, not the senders balance. But in any case, if you’ve had a message exchange back and forth while maintaining a balance over 250K, that would suggest the limit was higher.
reply
If it was the sender's balance, it wouldn't be a vulnerability. The ability to find out yourself you have > 250k sats is a well-known feature :)

For sure. The way siggy phrased one of his comments made me want to be painfully explicit lol
reply
Earlier today was the first time I saw that error message. It just seems really low.
reply
Correct. It is the receiver
reply
The limit has changed fairly recently I think.
