Cake wallet frustration

[Karl_3000]

When I want to make transaction, this is the error it was showing. But if I try two more times, the transaction will be successful. I have tried it many times today but it kept showing the error.



After the error it was showing this error later if I try to send the transaction again without closing the app.


I went through the nodes, I used the one that is in green and not in orange or red and the synching was fast but to make transaction was a different thing entirely that is coupled with frustration.

After trying for more than 7 times and the two errors is showing after I close and open the app again continuously, I fed up and import my seed phrase on Bluewallet and the transaction was successful on Bluewallet within few seconds that I imported the seed phrase..

Cake wallet is buggy.

I found this (altho it is from last year) googling the issue: https://forum.cakewallet.com/t/transaction-commit-failed-please-contact-support/343

The answer suggests that you should first update your wallet ( if it's not already) and then try again.

Cake wallet is buggy.

It would've been beneficial on both sides if they at least provided a way to export or view logs on situations like this.
All I see are for lightning, payjoin and silent payment logs.

I went through the nodes, I used the one that is in green and not in orange or red -snip-

Even if you didn't, it should automatically use the most stable connection if the red or orange ones failed.
Since it failed 7 times this time, there could be some issue with your ISP or network with cake wallet's default Electrum nodes.

At least you can manually add any reliable Electrum server there if you decided to still use it.

Also, Cake has other connections (under App settings->Connections) that can be heavy for some networks if left enabled.

On the other hand, BlueWallet uses a different server that your network has no issue connecting with.

Maybe your coins were frozen by Cake because you used a VPN?  https://x.com/Kruwed/status/1869564255080718626



Which part of the wallet are you using? If you use Spark or swaps, Cake's partners can steal your coins:

Just make sure to NEVER use Cake Wallet, they will scam you out of your coins since they use Spark (a statechain, which is custodial and has no privacy) instead of Lightning:

I am not using swap on Cake wallet, I do not even have any altcoins on the wallet, only what I use it for is bitcoin receiving and sending.

Cake wallet has inbuilt Tor but I use the wallet with ISPN.

Cake developers need to work on some things on the wallet.
