Had a channel force close in zeus. I have to admit, I fucking hate lightning. I lost so many sats in the past years with channel force closes, channel opening fees and reckt backups, I easily could have paid every on-chain fee and it would be less expensive than using lightning. But muh lightning is so cheap and fast. What a shit show. I'm done with it. GM!

here have some sats bro 👊

Thanks. Funny I received 0 sats in my minibits wallet.😆 Just curious how much did you sent?

I zapped 10 sats

Ok, thanks. That means the mint took 10 sats as fee.🙄

What mint? This is no ecash like enuts.

Sure you have your setup right? Have you tried getalby?

never heard of minibits.

Oh it is an ecash wallet based on cashu.

Have to correct. I received the 10 sats completely in my minibits wallet. The transaction shows 0 sats received, but the total amount is 10 sats more.

intereting. is minibits part of Lnbits?

Think not. It's an own app and not tied to lnbits

Check out AquaWallet by Jan3 (https://aquawallet.io/) then. It allows you to both send and receive Lightning payments without actually using lightning. It does that by holding your daily spending on the Liquid side chain and swaps liquid to pay the lightning invoice you need to pay. Similarly you can create an lightning invoice for people who want to pay you but you'll receive in liquid BTC. That way you'll never have to open or manage any lightning channels but can still use lightning non-custodially with way lower fees than if you were to swap from bitcoin main chain to lightning like Muun used to do.

Yeah but no thanks.
