Not been here in a while, back again for another 9 hours if anyone wants to test the ln.

I haven't done one for a while either:

I've tried eclair, electrum and lightning roulette and none of them can find a route (I'm not sure why).

If your node's staying open, I'll open about 20 (I think that's my limit) channels and see if I can get any through.

Edit: I'm resorting to acinq

Edit: deleted my bump, posted below just in case

Not been here in a while, back again for another 9 hours if anyone wants to test the ln.

[Timelord2o67]

Most of my channels are online and I've been using my phone, so I'm not sure either.

My nose/channels never show up on 1ml.com either.

[jackg]

Have you got a watchtower open or have you managed to leave the phone on if its éclair of any wallet that could still be the priblem.

The solution i found is to open an app like YouTube in dual screen so that your screen stays active (you need a video open and playing/on pause though).

[Timelord2o67]

I'd say it's still my phone being too strict on power to the Eclair App.  Ordinary I'd try to receive via my PC Zap wallet

[jackg]

Available for about 5 hours if anyone wants thmo test the ln but my nose was having connectivity issues due to the nature of the network so try to connect to acinq if you can.

[Timelord2067]

Hello again,

I've just updated from Eclair Ver 4.1(0) to Ver 4.12 and my connections seem to be in all the time (finally)

Can I send a payment request (set for six hours) and will update in six hours if you haven't come back online by then with a new six hour request, please?

It kept failing (about 4 times on my phone and 3 on the PC and now it's just worked). I'll send a repayment request momenterily:

It worked!

I'll check back in half an hour to get the repayment details.

Many thanks.

Received funds thanks!

There has been a critical update of lnd afaik too so you light want to update before doing a transaction if using that client.

Do you have a reference for this? I only see 0.11.1beta which was released 9 days ago...

This marks the first minor release in the v0.11.x series! This release contains no breaking changes, and no database migrations. Instead this release bundles a number of reliability improvements, some macaroon upgrades, and a change to make our version our anchor commitments spec compliant amongst several other changes.

Also, can you provide me an invoice... I don't have any spare capacity to receive at the moment...

I skimmed this yesterday, if it's nothing major it still might be wise to update: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5280912.msg55342373#msg55342373

Ahhhh ok, I don't need to worry then... I'm already at the recommended patch

Code:

Did this come through OK? It says "Payment Successful", but I don't seem to be able to drill down into the payment in "ZAP" wallet... and there was an error or 2 in the lnd debugging...



When I tried to send again as a test, it says it cannot find a route, so I'm guesssing my channels are not talking to your channels What's a "good" node to create a channel with these days?

Yeah it came through on my eclair as being received, I then closed the app so it's probably why the second dint come through.

Can you see the funds leaving your wallet? I assume the CT has updated so the balance should be different?.

I'm seeing a payment hash on the transaction of: d1e2656d8663ba131d2bb4a77224cdba215ba436dc2837fef7c58660899f3137 but Id imagine that's the hash of the CT.

Eclair normally recommend: 03864ef025fde8fb587d989186ce6a4a186895ee44a926bfc370e2c366597a3f8f:node.acinq.co:9735 but I don't think the funds came down that route just then...

[HCP]

Apparently it did indeed go through... via OpenNode -> ACINQ -> some random node


I had to close Zap and then re-open and I was able to drill down into the transaction details... Zap wallet has some issues... I may need to investigate migrating to a different "front-end" for lnd if there is one, or maybe a different implementation altogether

[jackg]

Available for another ~12 hours.

Have you got an invoice for me or do you not have the inbound capacity?
It's quite impressive how few hops it takes though (although that could be due to centralisation). With a lot of nodes I still don't think we can expect many hops (probably a log2(n) or less - with n being the number of nodes on the network). I think the ln is designed to encourage lots of small channels rather than one or two big ones...

[HCP]

The channel to ACINQ finally got opened and I was able to move some sats around... so, hopefully, I should be able to receive some

Code:

Yep it's sent on my end, thanks!

[HCP]

What are people using for building up channel capacity? Do you just send yourself sats from one wallet to another... or do you use "Loop In/Out" etc?

A couple of lightning gambling sites let you cash out to main chain amounts over 0.001-0.01, sometimes betting 2k sats on those or higher fulfills your moral conscience in asking for a withdrawal - especially if you have my luck 🤣.
