I tried to zap @BallLightning, but the payment has been pending for minutes, so I assume they’re using Zaplocker.
If they don’t open their wallet in time (24 hours?), doesn’t the last routing node force-close the channel with their node because it’s an unresponsive node that didn’t release the preimage before the timeout?
Yeah happen to me twice, paying a zaplocker user from another wallet. I got FC in a couple of hours.
I always recommend to zaplocker users to keep their Zeus in persistent mode as much as they can, especially when they know will receive some payments to that LN address.
Persistent mode fixes this easily.

Just a moment... Did you get force closed when you were paying a zaplocker user?Because my situation is the reverse (i was the receiver).
reply
Yes. But could be the way around too.

I think Zeus uses some different mechanism where they hold the invoice in their nodes. I do need to claim them but I did claim them in less then an hour, so this shouldn't be the problem. Also I think the way it works is that zeus will cancel the payment themselves if the mobile node doesn't come online within a specified time, so no force close is needed.

Yes, their node.

Yes, Olympus.
Well, first I was online soon enough.
Second, if i am offline they won't have a pending channel state change with me, that's why I think they can safely cancel. But even if I am misunderstanding something here, first point stands.
BTW I didn't know this is called zaplocker, but I remember reading how it works on zeus site i think some time ago.

That node is just the forwarder, is not your node. Here is how zaplocker works https://github.com/supertestnet/zaplocker#how-it-works
I will strongly recommend to put your Zeus in persistent mode (see in options - embedded - advanced), let' s say during the day when you know you could receive some payments. During the night you could shut it down, no problem.
Persistent mode is keeping the lnd service alive in the background and can avoid these issues.

Yes, not my node.

TBH, we’re trying to help you but I don’t think you’re trying to understand
Anyway, maybe I’m wrong, I don’t want to spread FUD about Zeus. @evankaloudis should clarify this.

WTF is this response to a post where I am actually agreeing with you?
I am trying to understand why my channel got force closed even if I can't have my full attention to this problem at the moment.
