Why is my zap still pending to send?

reply
0 sats \ 2 replies \ @ek 19 Jan

You mean you see in satistics that a zap invoice is still pending?

Some possible reasons:

  • the payment is slow
  • you closed the site between pressing the zap button and us returning the invoice to your wallet so your wallet never saw the invoice
  • some bug on our end

In any case, you should get a notification where you can retry the zap when the invoice expires.

We'll soon have automated retries which will make payments more reliable.

Thinking about Copilot and Recall feature, I think that trezor predicted this and found the best solution by only showing random dots that you have to click (not press any key), so there is no track of the keyboard neither the PIN.

However, how do you prevent AI to copy your wallet screen? Address are also shown partially, but some times you need to copy it.

Apps and Wallets must think of tremendous security measures agains AI for the centralized companies.

Thinking about running a lightning routing node with only 0.1-0.25 bitcoin

reply

I'll be interested to see the results as that's an actual realistic amount of bitcoin for me to be able to get my hands on.

You mean if I want to have bigger channels? Good idea but I’ll start low since I just want to learn and not burn too many sats.

Question is just how low to start without being useless. I think 0.1 bitcoin is okay 👀

reply

.25 might be overkill, depending on how you use it.

reply
0 sats \ 4 replies \ @ek 18 Jan

Why overkill? I think if you want to route payments, your channels can’t be too big.

I think I’ll go with following channel allocations: 3x5m+2x4m+2m

It's always a trade off, but... with those small amount (for a routing node), maybe using the "dual" from https://lightningnetwork.plus/swaps to coordinate and double the size.

But before that... which implementation of LN are you going to use? are you going to have a clearnet only connection, Tor... or both?

What are your objective? stack sats (routing fee)? or using to develop something on top of that?.

oh, looks interesting, thanks! 👀

which implementation of LN are you going to use?

probably LND as I am the most familiar with it

are you going to have a clearnet only connection, Tor... or both?

definitely clearnet and maybe tor but not sure I'll need it

What are your objective?

just experience for now

some other animal fun fact: why are bird nests always so clean?

reply

The parents always eat the shit of their young.
When the feed them, they poop right after and the parents clean it up.
Im not making it up.

ek, maybe you should test the theory?
In Taiwan, they have a fishing pool where you could fish for shrimp.
Then they would cook them up for you, or use them in hotpot.

reply

Good idea. Do you think one week of eating only shrimp is enough to test the theory?

reply

You would have to eat a lot of shrimp in that week.
Reminds me of one of those crawfish boils.
I have heard of people eating lots carrots and their skin turning orange.

Yes.
I think it has some kind of protein that makes them that color.
Thats why at the zoo, they arent as pink as they should be.
