The NWC should be usable for both send and receive, right? @phaedrus

No. Other companies might not care but SN does not store the ability to spend your money on our servers.

Just to be clear, because everyone seems to glaze over when we say it, and other companies say we are using NWC wrong: SN does not, and will not, store the ability to spend your money on our servers.

Coinos generates only one NWC string that grants both spending and receiving permissions in the same string. We cannot remove spending permissions from it, so we do not permit coinos' nwc string to be used for receiving. (It being an option was a mistake on our part. It will be removed in a future release.)

Can you clarify what this means?

If I input a NWC string on SN for a sending wallet, in what ways am I or am I not giving SN the ability to spend my money?

30 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 2h

in what ways am I giving SN the ability to spend my money: when you have SN's website loaded, your wallet is decrypted, and your browser is connected to the internet, SN's clientside code has the ability to spend your money from your browser.

in what ways am I NOT giving SN the ability to spend my money: when SN's website is NOT loaded in your browser or your wallet is NOT decrypted or your browser is NOT connected to the internet, SN cannot spend your money.

in what ways WOULD I be giving SN the ability to spend my money IF SN did this differently: SN, or anyone who gained access to SN's database, would be able to spend your money at will, at anytime.

It may seem like we're punishing ourselves by being paranoid and doing something that may only sound marginally safer, but we think it's more than marginally safer and worth the pain -- assuming we can smooth out the UX.

Further, establishing the precedent and expertise around not storing any sensitive customer data on the servers will afford us great agility when doing things like end-to-end encrypted DMs (which we see as critical to providing marketplace and private chat/community features worthy of bitcoiners).

Hey, I didn't know this. I recently started using Coinos, is one of the wallets I used as a beginner to start my journey with Bitcoin.

Watch out for this: NWC service is coming soon to Zeus embedded nodes. That means Zeus users could connect easily SN account with a Zeus NWC wallet (on the phone, not remote). https://github.com/ZeusLN/zeus/issues/3095

Friend do you know why this happens to me? Very often when I want to use Zeus stays this way. during a long period and nothing that is activated. Sometimes I must try to open the app several times so that I can work.

Right now I am trying to move some Sats and I could.

It's simple, but people are lazy and DO NOT READ ALL THE FAQs I wrote several times. https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/faq#what-should-i-do It's all about your connection that is not syncing well. No good connection = no sync = not being able to do payments. Is so fucking simple. The Zeus FAQ page is full of such cases and what you should do.

btw, please, but please stop using any neutrino node with Tor and if you use a VPN, be sure you have a good ping to your neutrino peers. Tor is TOTALLY USELESS with neutrino peers. Please read more here: #944885

Thank you very much for answering, surely it is the connection, I live in the Third World and here the Internet is limited.

I use VPN but I have Zeus excluded. In your guide I read that there is no need for VPN for better functioning. I have used it for a few months and already working well.

Tor and/or VPN really have no effect on privacy in terms of using with neutrino. Read more: https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/privacy It only add more latency... for nothing. More latency = more intents to connect to neutrino peers. That means a possible ban from your neutrino peers. That means no sync.

When you have such connection issues, is simple: read the LND logs. Are very explicit of what is going on.

Thank you, I sincerely appreciate these guides, since they are quite useful, have you written or know a guide similar to this of the Breez wallet?
