nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 First major issue(s) with your wallet. Trying to provide some feedback. I had a large channel w you guys force closed, and it has been pending for 5 days. The sats I had show up in the on chain portion but are still pending 5 days later despite a confirmed tx already having been executed. Secondly, I had another open channel with another node and had plenty of inbound liquidity. I tried to send a Lightning transaction to my wallet via that channel, but the app forced a 10k sat fee on me and opened a new a channel. Why would that happen when there is plenty of inbound liquidity from another channel?

Force closes fees can be on hold for up to 14 days after the force close tx is mined, this isn't anything to do with Zeus and is just how lightning works. Rest assured your funds are safe :)

Less concerned about this issue. Understood force closures and time to settle happen. It’s the channel issue that is a real problem.

Possible there was no possible route to the node you were trying to make a payment to through your channel, however I agree that the UX should communicate this and not just open another channel automatically if that's what happened.

It’s the ACINQ node. I’d be shocked if there wasn’t a route.
