p2p zaps are only used when:
  1. sender has too few custodial sats in SN's wallet to perform the action
  2. receiver has a receive wallet attached (and it successfully returns an invoice)
  3. the lightning payment succeeds

Ok then I have to leave my SN wallet at 0 so that it starts deducting from the SATS that I have left in Coinos attached to SN! and when someone does a Zap for me will it go to the LN address that I have attached? I tried to do a Zap for you and it gave me an error

Yes, if the payment succeeds.

SN doesn't run your attached wallet so SN can't make sure your payment succeeds.

Thank you for your patience and time to respond.
SN doesn't run your attached wallet.
So I configured something wrong? Or what can I do to make SN run now with my attached wallet and not use the SN wallet anymore?

No you didn't configure anything wrong as far as I know. We just can't guarantee your attached wallet pays or can pay the invoices we send it because it's operated by coinos - not SN.
There's lot of reasons why a lightning payment might fail:
  • the sender's wallet didn't have enough money
  • the sender's wallet was offline or experienced an error
  • the sender's wallet couldn't find a route to sn
  • sn couldn't find a route to the receiver's wallet after the sender successfully routed the payment to SN's node
  • the receiver didn't accept the payment
All of these are mostly out of SN's control with attached wallets.

Thank you very much my friend for your answers and your time @k00b I recharged some more to the wallet and then I was able to make my first two to other users from my attached wallet in Coinos, one payment was made immediately and the second failed, however I pressed retry and it worked instantly.
