I am a huge fan of nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l , but I would like to point out that the Lightning experience has degraded to the point that it is almost unusable.

The service seems to be getting worse. Transactions are not instant, but rather get hung up as “pending.” They remain in pending for varying amounts of time, sometimes days.

I have been using Cashapp’s LN w/d for a long time, and it’s clear to me the service is getting worse. It’s almost like it has been neglected?

I have tried to w/d to many different wallets, even my node that has a channel with c=

The problem spans all wallets. The photo below shows a transaction from yesterday that has already cleared but remains in “pending.” The other transaction is to a different wallet from an hour ago…it has not processed.

Cashapp needs to be “best in class,” but something is clearly going wrong IMO.

Anybody else experiencing this?

A have the same experience with cash app Lightning.

It has been happening for a few months now. I paid an invoice last Thursday night and it didn’t go thru till yesterday 👀

Thanks for noting this CK.

I agree, the problem started around 3-4 months ago. Prior to that, the user experience was pretty good (although basic improvements were still neeeded).

I mentioned it to nostr:npub185h9z5yxn8uc7retm0n6gkm88358lejzparxms5kmy9epr236k2qcswrdp via telegram and Matt mentioned some “hiccups” but felt they had been addressed.

I am not trying to be stone thrower. Just want to make sure the team is aware of the issues.

It’s an extremely bad look for lighting

I can not trust cash app to make Lightning payments right now.

As long as the performance is like this I need to use another solution as my default option. Sad.

Man, I hope this gets resolved soon.

I agree. CashApp needs to be a best in class leader.

Good Morning nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m .

It seems other are having the same issues. Are you aware of this? I’d not, maybe give it a try and you will see that you cannot currently use the Lightning Network with the Cashapp

Not trying to be petty, just want to make sure you are aware.

Change this if you want 2y ago

Fix incoming 🤔
