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?

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.'

Well we do have open channels with mutual peers. Coinos wallet is connected to megalith node, which is connected to us. There's both inbound and outbound liquidity in those channels, so it's strange that the payment failed. I even examined their node and balanced all the channels.
My guess is that the native routing algorithms are pretty shitty so they stop trying to find a route after a few attempts. But, according to your error, have you tried increasing the max fee in your wallet? That might have something to do with it.
Also have you tried possibly using your stacker news wallet? That one works (until Nov 5th I believe).

I dont have much in the SN wallet and like you say it will not work soon anyway.
Have just tried to send 2100sats to you with a max fee raised to 10000 sats!- still not working....have previously tried increased fee also- never works.
Sounds like the megalith node is not living up to its name- could you create a direct node connection to coinos?

Yeah I really wish the lightning network had better reliability. It's really not good if more payments fail as the network grows. The devs at lightning labs and other infrastructure providers need to focus on better routing reliability rather than stablecoins if they actually want the Bitcoin-native lightning network to succeed.
The only thing I could suggest is possibly trying wallet of satoshi, zbd wallet, or blink. I know those work, and I bet you could transfer from the coinos wallet to one of those.

Finally found a way to place predictions...but there's still a problem- I am limited to 100sats!
If I try 120 sats it will not work from coinos wallet at least.
So its painful to place multiple tiny 100 sats bets but it is working within that very low limit.
Can your liquidity with coinos be increased?
reply
For some reason I can't connect to coinos as a peer. Maybe their node has some special rules or something. I connected and opened a channel to one of their peers, hopefully that helps. Otherwise I think it's something on their side.
reply
Thanks for trying but its not made any improvement- I still cannot bid above 100 sats.
Maybe coinos can fix it from their end but Ive still not heard back from their support.
I just hope if I get the prediction/s right there is enough reverse liquidity for me to receive payout.
Great, I saw your bets. I can open a channel tonight, hopefully that can help.
reply
That would be fantastic thanks!
Had a quick look at WoS- does not appear to have a browser based or Linux compatible option.
Do zbd or blink work on a Linux laptop?
If not I cannot access your service unless I try LN on Electrum which in the past I have found unreliable.
Just looked further- looks like neither zbd or blink will work on Linux.
Has anyone else succeeded in sending to you from Coinos?
There must be a few punters like me that dont want to use Andriod/IOS mobile apps and so use Coinos but may not be able to access your platform.
I still have not heard back from Coinos support.
reply
Any reason why you don't want to try Androi/IOS mobile apps? They're pretty good.
reply
I trust Linux- I do not trust Android (google) or IoS.
IMO Linux as similar to Bitcoin- based on sound principles and choose to use and support both while avoiding corporate surveillance shitware OSs as much as possible ~ which is 99%.
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.
