I cannot succeed in making payment from coinos.io wallet
Do I need different LN wallet?

I'm not having any problems. What problem are you having?

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?

reply

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.

I just made a payment now

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.
