I’m experiencing several issues with Lightning payouts on Ocean.
Initially, I generated a BOLT12 invoice using my Core Lightning node, but the payment kept failing (it seemed unable to find a route), even though my node was fully operational and I could send and receive funds through various mobile wallets.
Following some advice, I regenerated the BOLT12 invoice using Coinos, but after more than 28 hours, no payments have been processed (not failed, simply not issued) despite Ocean having found 3 blocks.
Is anyone else encountering similar problems? Also, what is the actual frequency of Lightning payouts? The documentation is vague and doesn’t specify this.
In some forums, I read that about 30 blocks must pass after one mined by the pool before a payout occurs, but that hasn’t been my experience.
So far, I’d describe my experience with Ocean as suboptimal.
I occasionally have a payment fail but it will works on the next block found in my experience.
I believe payouts happen each time Ocean fines a block.
