Any tips to improve my chances of successfuly receiving zaps?

I'm tempted to use a custodial wallet for receiving zaps since I'm getting a lot of failures to my node.

Using the npub.cash lightning address via cashu.me has worked well for me.

Coinos works fine for me.

Seems that people didn't paid attention to all my warnings for almost 6 months....

Anyone who has actually used the lightning network would have foreseen such difficulties. Routing fees across the network are not small. Routes can be hard to find unless you are willing to pay fee levels that would make most zaps uneconomical.

IMO the only way to guarantee reliable zaps on SN is to open a direct channel.

Not even that. Small zaps back and forth are totally useless. here another meme that many people here still do not get it...

The best way for SN is to use the cowboy credits as internal token system. That's all. And you do not have to be afraid of these tokens. Are NOT shitcoin because YOU DO NOT USE THEM OUTSIDE OF SN.

Daaaamn how many times I have to be right until people will take my words ?

I'm deploying a change that will double the max cltv delta we'll allow. That should resolve most of the errors in the screenshot of your wallet logs.

At some point I increased the configured min inbound channel size to SN to 1m sats. The next time I restart our node, it'll be back to 100k.

I am Using Coinos, but it's a mystery! Works sometimes, doesn't work other times. 🤷‍♂️ What wallet are you using?

Same here ... It's frustrating

Just use CCs for SN. Is just fine. I really don't get why people do not want to use them. Is just a credits system for PAY TO POST, that's all.

I think you can buy a channel from Rizful for around 11k sats. Then connect through NWC.

It works well for me.

We can increase our max delta and min channel size. I’ll see what I can do tomorrow

It looks good. I've downloaded it and tried setting an account with my Nostr key, but it fails.

I'm asking on Nostr, of course, tagging Lifpay. Let's see if they answer...

Check Yr nostr inbox on amethyst

I used your npub from Yr profile to send a code

0 sats \ 4 replies \ @ama 5 Jan

Wait, are you related to LifPay? I tried the code, but it says "Invalid code".

I asked to get a new one, and the same database error occurs.

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @cleaningup12 5 Jan

No not at all, was wondering if an issue with your phone.

Definitely sounds suss! Sorry

Best wait for lifpay support to reach out

15 sats \ 2 replies \ @ama 5 Jan

There isn't an issue with my phone. I think there's one with their database trying to store my npub on a column for which it's too long.

Mine worked fine, sign up with email?

Hmm have a tinker around with it, could create a burner npub or use email and creates an npub for you within app

Or create anon account but customize address is n/a with anonymous accounts

If you run your own node, is opening a channel to SN an option for you?

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @CheezeGrater OP 5 Jan

I don't currently have the funds for a 1M channel to SN, I have a smaller channel to a intermediate zero fee node though, funding works well.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 5 Jan

Do you need a 1M channel? The channel I opened was less than that. I see channels open to stacker.news with less capacity than 1M.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @CheezeGrater OP 5 Jan

I got an error yesterday while trying to open a smaller channel and remember seeing 1M minimum so I opened the channel to a node that has a channel to SN.

I'll try opening a smaller channel to SN again later.
