bumping my question about lightning payment now that nostr:nprofile1qqsq9k04vahllseell55m74n3047y88pzlr0z5yany32st29fapqmgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucn89u93ntq6 seems to be active on #NOSTR 😉
Question for nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze
How can I find out if a BOLT12 lightning payout is working?
I've setup my offer following your instructions, but never received any payments. And if it is not set up properly, how can I remove the offer from the dashboard?
My dashboard just says: "Estimated Time Until Minimum Payout
Lightning ⚡"
Thanks!

We're on it - Nostr client issues lol.
Sounds like you set up Lightning correctly wrt generating a valid BOLT12 and signed it with a valid sig.
Great.
Now here's a checklist to follow if payments still aren't working:
1. Am I using Core Lightning?
2. Do I have a channel with sufficient inbound liquidity?
3. Is it public?
4. Payments still failing? Connect to our node with this command `lightning-cli connect 029ef2ce43571727104099576c633b2233bfeb8dc18b476f93540a32207da9e9a4@16.63.81.71:9735`
Also I'll add - if Lightning just keeps not working, if you get to the on-chain threshold you'll just be paid out that way.
I already got some onchain payment ;)
I just really want to make lightning payouts work.
Thanks for replying!
1. yes
2. yes
3. it's not!?
4. just connected it
So it looks like my channel with ACINQ have been silently failing for a while 😟
> Peer transient failure in CHANNELD_NORMAL: channeld: Owning subdaemon channeld died?
Lightning node management is exhausting 😭
I am going to try to find out what it is...
3 is your issue. Private channels don't work in practice, though in theory they're supposed to.
Ocean payouts on Lightning have information made public (so that everyone can varify payouts) making private channels not private anyway.
after opening a new public channel, it worked! got my lightning payout this morning, thanks! 🤝
