Did you see the green check mark and a pop-up on the site after your purchase?

You know I don’t think the page confirmed receipt. So it could have been some error minting ecash
Must have been; seems like the payment still went through but didn't process/return the token properly. If you haven't changed your mint, you might be able to see what went wrong and resolve the issue with nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7l2r9yx. I can also zap you the lost sats to try and process the order again; gotta stay clean out there!
I just paid on the site via LN invoice so I didn’t actually handle any ecash myself. So minibits got the sats but didn’t issue the token. If you didn’t get the sats, no need to refund me! This is just growing pains for the system
I’m not too worried about it. But it does present a challenge for mint operators. Because the LN tx is cash final
There are some timelock claw-backs that can be supported by mints, but if the initial token minting isn't processed, it's almost irresolvable at scale.
Seems like a relatively fatal flaw with ecash, where through no fault of buyer or seller, the middleman fails to perform and pockets the sats
I wonder what nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg would say
Definitely a fatal flaw in that respect. Buyer will end up with bad experience, and seller with bad reputation 😕 That's the last thing I want when growing a business.
It could also be a client side issue if the payment goes through, the mint processes it, but either the client is closed/inactive before the token was processed or there were rate limits on verifying the token with the mint. The latter was an issue happening on the site a few days ago which has now been resolved, but even if it were still persisting, there was error handling in place to make sure you changed your mint before ever trying to make the purchase.
