eg- 'Failed to route payment, recipient may not be reachable. Try sending a smaller amount or increasing the max fee reserve. Send NZ$3.38 ⚡️3,000 to bitcoin-prediction-market Max routing fee ⚡️1500'

I haven't seen that error yet.

I've now had it about a dozen times.

Mostly today or over time?

All and only today as only today visited the site and tried to place prediction/s. None have succeeded.

I just made a bet with walletofsatoshi and getalby... not sure why your wallet might be failing.... Are your channels misconfigured?
reply
Just tried again- still getting same message- seems like zero connectivity between BTCPredict and Coinos wallet?
'Failed to route payment, recipient may not be reachable. Try sending a smaller amount or increasing the max fee reserve.'
I am using Coinos and it's still not working. I have contacted coinos.io support and told them of the problem but have not heard back from them yet.
Thanks for your reply- the message I get mostly is 'Failed to route payment, recipient may not be reachable. Try sending a smaller amount or increasing the max fee reserve.' I try different amounts more and less and increasing the max routing fee but it never goes through.

Glad it finally worked. They’ve had some downtime the last week. Don’t keep large sums on there.

Anon might have success but I still cannot place predictions-

Not sure what could be the problem, our node is online and we have channels with inbound liquidity. Let me look into this deeper.

Thanks- I have contacted coinos.io support too to ask if they can help. Have not heard back yet. BTW I just made a small test payment to another unrelated LN address from my coinos.io wallet - there was no problem at all.
Just tryed Bitcoinpredict payment again, still failure to process payment....new massage from wallet on failure- ERR Error running script (call to f_71cdd48ae74afa853d7e5040b5981ea5b94014de): @user_script:12: user_script:12: bad argument #1 to 'decode' (string expected, got boolean)
And trying again I get- 'Failed to route payment, recipient may not be reachable. Try sending a smaller amount or increasing the max fee reserve.' (for a prediction bet of 2100sats)

So our node is online, channels have sufficient inbound/outbound liquidity, and other wallets work. Many times lightning payments fail because of pathfinding issues between the nodes.
Your node might be struggling to find a route because of the decentralization of the Lightning network. As the network becomes more decentralized, payments become harder to process simply because the native pathfinding algorithm sucks.
I can look into opening some direct channels with coinos.io wallet, maybe that can help.

That would be great - thanks! I will try again tomorrow.
