Hello. I have an interesting case of hanging payment. I receive sats from robosats and I expect them to come through a channel purchased by Megalith. I can see the pending HTLC in Zeus embedded node. However the HTLC remains hanging. How is this possible? My understanding of the lightning network is that HTLCs can remain hanging until the other nodes in the path release the preimage. But my node is the last node. Sot it should release the preimage to Megalith. Why is it hanging then?
I just noticed that the HTLC is for just half the amount. So maybe it is some multipath payment, where the fee is not enough for the other paths. I will try with higher fee once it times out.

OK, I think that was it. I raised the fee rate from 1000 to 1500 ppm and i received the sats immediately. In a single transfer (no multipath). I am wondering whether smaller fees can cause the payment to be split 🤔

Is that the bond?
It sounds like a hold invoice. When the trade is signed off by both parties the hold invoice is released.

No, not the bond. I wouldn't be the last node if it was the bond.
