I created a channel on the Zeus embedded lnd by send sats from Phoenix. Anyone had success sending sats back to Phoenix ? Payment times out in Zeus
Discussion
Its spotty for me, sometimes it lets me sometimes and other times it doesn't.
Ok that’s good to know. Not just me. Thanks!
The Phoenix app needs to be open to receive a payment.
Does open in the background (with background app refresh toggle on in settings) work ?
It failed for me when I’ve tried it before and i had that setting toggle enabled. But it may work sometimes if the connection stays active long enough in the background.
Thanks for your help! Seems to work only for smaller amounts
One way you could do it is to send the sats to your alby wallet, then bring Alby up on another device and send from there to Phoenix on your phone while it’s open in the foreground.
I was able to send from Zeus directly to Phoenix but smaller amounts. Not the whole amount I used to open the channel. It seems like it didn’t like the bigger amount. Maybe on Zeus’ end? No idea.
At least I was able to get it out. I did it in 4 transactions instead of 1
Hmm in that case it could have been that the larger payment had a fee higher than the default limit in your Zeus settings. It would make sense why the smaller payments still worked, as they would have lower fees. 
Thanks you corn! nostr:npub1m64hnkh6rs47fd9x6wk2zdtmdj4qkazt734d22d94ery9zzhne5qw9uaks has suggested to raise the limit as well. I think the issue is resolved 🫂
Nice! 💜🤙
Seems to work for smaller amounts. Didn’t want to send the amount I used to open the channel all at once 🤷🏾♂️
Check your fee settings in Zeus. They will stop payments over a certain amount. You can set them higher.
Are you referring to this ? 
Yes! When I was testing earlier I couldn't send over 250k sats, that was why. Higher amounts went above the fee limit. 🤙
When you changed the default fee limit, did it change how much fees are taken for smaller payments ? Or you just changed it manually to let the bigger payment pass and then reverted back ?
