Posting this feels dubious, but I've parenthetically seen a number of similar reports and figure it might be useful to surface them?
Anyway, today, for the second time, I found my NWC "send" connection to have been dis-connected for no reason I can ascertain. I copied the same connection code as before and it re-connected just fine. Nothing weird happened, I didn't do anything, it just got disconnected and now it's re-connected. If it matters, this channel has ample liquidity in both in-bound and out-bound directions. Since the re-connection, sending and receiving work fine.
If history is a guide, this dis-connection will happen again, so if there's something useful I can do to debug it (or identify that it's an issue on my end) let me know. If anyone else has noticed similar issues, this might be a good place to share experiences to help @k00b and @ek figure out what's up.
With "disconnected", you mean the connection just disappeared in SN?
Did you logout? We delete the locally stored spending credentials on logout on purpose.
If you enabled device sync in your settings, this should not happen anymore since then they are stored encrypted on the server.
If you didn't and you didn't logout, there might be a bug or something else deleted your browser data.
FYI, I did have device sync enabled. (!)
mhhh 🧐

To be clear, I thought it had resolved, but it didn't. It's really weird. I am synced, but I lost my send on my laptop, but not my mobile. Any ideas how this could happen?
Mhhh, so it asks you to enter the passphrase again on your laptop?
No :/ Once you're synced you should never lose it on a device unless you manually disconnect from the vault.
Yes. Maybe I'm nuts.
haha
Yup, the little arrow doohickey for "send" disappeared, and when I opened the NWC tile the send field was empty.
I don't think I logged out, but possibly I did. I'll pay attention to that in the future, thank you.
(And I enabled device sync, so now, regardless of logging out, if it ever happens then it's clearly a bug -- either a SN bug, or my node's?)
Without device sync, if your browser updates, or you exit the browser, or you restart your computer, the browser will often clear its storage.
We don't want to store the ability to spend your money on our servers in plaintext, so we store them in your browser. Your browser will purge its storage unpredictably is the downside.
With device sync enabled, we encrypt your spending credentials so we can store them on the server rather than in the browser. This tends to make the credentials more available (absent bugs like the one siggy saw this morning).
Had a similar issue this morning, my Albyhub NWC sends were failing, ended up trying Coinos, minibits, and cashu.me NWC strings and all were getting "failed to create test invoice" errors.
After about 20 minutes I finally got minibits connected and left it at that for now. 🤷
Considering a few of us had something this morning, maybe it was an Alby thing?
Could be, but the other three wallets' NWC strings also giving me error messages when trying to save the credentials on SN gave me pause.
I'm also not very technically inclined so user error is also a possibility 😂
That's my concern too
I experienced a similar issue this morning with my desktop send, but not on mobile.
Even with device sync, I've noticed an intermittent issue where the send permissions aren't "seen" by the client and I get a QR code. Is that what happened to you?
Yes. That has happened to me. This morning when I checked the wallet connection "send" was empty.
Oh it being empty with device sync is not something I've seen.
same here, comes and goes, it seems, little pita, but hey, it is what it is...lol
That's very interesting. I have had spending credentials configured for probably 2+ months and never lost them. I had to add them to each browser/device I use, but that's it. No device sync, either.
Just had a failed to zap. 1st time ever
Owing to so much reports about NWC failing or disconnected, I didn't have a look at them as possible wallet attach. Instead I went with the best that's currently coinos.
i use coinos for zapping and have had quite a few failures, but they were having an issue, just reattached and i think its working again now
I appear to be having issues as well. Zaps are going straight to CC, despite my wallet being online. My send and receive icons on the wallet screen are both green. Nothing in the logs.
freakin always.
I'm so looking forward to being my own plumber (maybe electrocuted trying to be my own electrician...?)
