Thanks. I did hear news of announcement. I should mention I also tried sending out to Fedi, albeit to a different mint, doing so however also resulted in the same unknown error.
Using the transferring out to lightning mechanism is really my last resort for me, as it means I would have to deposit quite a few more sats into ecash balance to reach the minimum amount (100k) which I don’t want to risk. Especially with this unknown error state I’m experiencing when trying to send.
