Minibits is so much better now that I have NWC configured in Amethyst. The entire experience is better than what I was doing. Good lord.

I love Minibits in general, but I've had many struggles zapping. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts; sometimes it doesn't work at all, even when I know the zappee has a wallet connected...

Any suggestions?

What mint(s) do you use?🤔

you tried coinos.io ?

No, but I tried Strike and it was good. I'm assuming they are similar in nature.

similar, except coinos.iogives you an nwc string for using the wallet for one tap zapping or in like albygo wallet

I'm just using their default one, but I think you're probably just having the typical alpha/beta software problems. It hasn't been perfect for me either, but I knew it was under heavy development going in. When it does work (it mostly has been), it works really well.

Thanks...

I'm wondering if maybe some mints have better lightning channel connections than others?🤔

I appreciate your reply.🙏🏻😁👍🫂💖

I'm sure there probably are spec differences in the hardware. That's beyond my current knowledge of how mints work though.

Where to find the nwc config in amethyst?

Great question and it took some digging. I initially went to the settings to look for it (naturally, in my opinion). nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug

Anyway, long press the zap icon under a note and you'll see zap settings. I just copied the info in Minibits and #Amethyst pasted all the data automatically when I clicked paste in one of the fields.

Worked. Zapped you. Debited from minibits but doesn't show up in amethyst

Sometimes Amethyst takes a minute to display zaps. I've always had a lag regardless of how I zap.
