Yes I zapped your comment. I'm the wrong guy to ask. Over the last 48 hours all kinds of weird things are going on. I'm not sure if it's SN or Alby Hub. My daily rewards invoices got deleted yesterday, though I don't know how. The rewards were never logged on the hub, though I assume my node received them. Last night my attached Alby NWC send connection just vanished. The secrets phrase disappeared from the SN attached wallet. I could not reenter it without getting an error message. I finally deleted my SN connection on Alby Hub and created a new one. That solved the problem so far. cc @ek @k00b

I'm not using albyhub but the alby extension. Something didn't go right with your last zap to my comment. I received it via
autowithdraw instead of p2p. It's not working again.reply

this one I received in p2p but the stacked value in the comment still doesn't appear.

I saw you and ek discussing that. I'll go find those comments and see what's up. If we have the preimages to those autowithdrawals, it's likely an issue with Alby Hub though.

Did you update your browser or restart your phone? We store the send connection in browser storage and your browser will purge its storage from time to time. We are working on a PR to store encrypted send wallets on the server, but in the meantime it's worth knowing that browser storage can be volatile.
After your wallet receives a payment and accepts it, each channel along the route to your node has to settle with their channel partner. Only after that happens does the zap show on your items (otherwise we don't know if the zap succeeded).
Do you have mostly Tor channels? That might explain the delay.
reply
No tor channels. I'm using the alby extension (WebLN and Lightning Address)
reply
I see. In general we can't control payment settlement timing on routes to your node. If you're not in control of your node - you can't control it either. It may be disconcerting, but that's the nature of p2p things - you are at the whims of your peers.
The best UX to be had here is going to be through a direct channel with SN because these timing issues will be less common. When I do node maintenance this weekend I'll try to setup a big channel with Alby's node and any other centralized custodial provider people are using.
reply
Okay! I hope everything will be fine after the maintenance. I really want to use
p2p, but it has to be working properly, otherwise it discourages me from using it.reply
To be clear, it is working properly from our perspective. We just can't control the response time of your external wallet.
I get it though. We'll do what we can to make it better, but there are limits because your wallet is out of our control. Thanks for helping me understand the issue!
reply
i understand that! But since I'm interacting with SN, the first idea is that it's SN's problem. You need better logs and visual indications of payment progress. This is important so you can make better debug, but also so that the user is better informed.

This is just an idea of how you could inform the user about payments status.
