:Thumbs up: to question 1.
To question 2, if no route can be found, and a cowboy credit is created instead, where does the sat go?
I will make an educated guess that the sat stays in the zapper's wallet, then the zappee receives +1 CC and the zapper is deduced -1 CC. Is that correct?
The sat is paid to SN, which in turn creates a cowboy credit and assigns it to the receiver.
If the sender has CCs in their wallet, rather than creating a CC, we'll just transfer it to the receiver like sats are transferred today.
