I've attached LNBits to Stacker. Even though my LNBits wallet has a balance of 1000 sats, SN shows 0. I am able to zap people and the zaps go through and my LNBits balance stays at 1000. Seems like a pretty big bug.
The balance shown on SN is your custodial balance. It sounds like it worked fine.

Ok, I got "Zap posts failed" at least, so it is not an infinite money glitch.
Still, not sure why the LNBits connection doesn't work since there is no error and it seems it is connected within Wallet settings on SN.

Did you check your wallet logs?

You could try Coinos.io in the interim if needed in which their backend is always on

Yes

And the recipient's (author of the content I am zapping) wallet needs to be online too?
reply
If you want them to receive sats? Yes.

What if they are offline, when I am zapping? What's the UX?
reply
For you, no difference in UX. They'll just receive Cowboy Credits.

Well, for me also a difference, because I suppose my zap will be reflected differently next to their post. Will there be two numbers now, the number of cowboy credits and the number of sats zapped (before the number of replies)?
