I believe this issue may have been raised by @grayruby before.
Last night I had the opportunity to talk up SN to a bunch of people. I tried to create an invite link, but it failed. I then used one of the older, unused invite links I had made. The link created an SN account, but did not give the invitee any of the sats I offered, nor did I get credit for a referral.
I assume this problem is related to the fact that I'm using an attached wallet?
oh, thanks, will look into it!
that they weren't credited with sats is related to attached wallets (we need to find a non-custodial solution for redeeming invites when referrer is offline, it only tries the custodial wallet currently) but the referral itself should have been credited
I didn't get that orange notice I usually get. It's been about 12 hours. Are they sometimes delayed?
is this related to your invite issue or is this a random question about zap errors?
they shouldn't be delayed that much, our invoices expire rather quickly, like within a few minutes
I'm referring to the referral notice specifically.
Ah, oh. Referral notices should be instant. If it's not, something went wrong. In this case here, I can tell you that if they weren't credited their invite gift because of missing sats in the custodial wallet, we will also not notify or credit you.
Invites and forwards are where non-custodial UX is definitely lacking and we'll have to find workarounds :/
"damn, @DarthCoin was right again"
You don't have to point it out. He'll let us know in his own subtle way.
I will just enjoy watching the 5th Nov chaos...
will be fixed in next release
I mentioned some possible solutions for this here btw:
Is there an obvious way to pay sats for the invite link in advance? I don't recall seeing that option
no there is not yet
I have had the same issue
Yes that was the issue I had as well.
There is a way to give money other than zapping a post?
I always gave it to a referral through a zap lol
You can create an invite link, load some sats on it, and text it to someone you want to introduce to SN. Check out referrals in your settings.
Don't use it for now if you have an attached wallet.
Interesting.
I will give it a try next time.
