Hey guys,

So where I ran into an issue was through paying the actual trade invoice for a Robosats trade. When a window in my Tor Browser would pop up to confirm the payment, I would accept, and it would work away for a bit but never show the payment clearing in my Hub. At that point I believe me attempting the payment after a bit was then assuming the wallet no longer had the appropriate amount of Sats to cover the payment. Well eventually I even went as far as to add even more liquidity and allow things to settle before attempting to pay the invoice again, only to no avail.

I realize there is a lot of vague info here I wish I had kept logs or more detailed info for you guys, I was running the Tor Browser on a Windows 10 pc, the RoboSats was running as a self hosted instance on my Start9 server, (which I believe may have something to do with it as their mainline version tells users it's not as up-to-date as what RoboSats has released atm) and my AlbyHub was also self hosted on my Start9 - I have used AlbyHub prior and it worked so smoothly I was amazed.

I can only assume there was some sort of software side issue with compatibility, more than likely due to possibly a Tor Browser update, (I tend to check them frequently and will update for security purposes) or the RoboSats issue of it not being as current on Start9 marketplace as their own release.

Either way, I think you guys are doing a great job and look forward to bettering my understanding to using a turn-key self hosted solution for trades. 🙌

thanks for the explanation. Did you try RoboSats before with other wallets.

I am not sure if I follow correctly, because in RoboSats afaik the payments stay pending until the trade is completed. this is a bit confusing, but part of how it works.

I'm sure I didn't articulate my experience well enough via note, but I have used RoboSats previously with a different wallet and hadn't had a similar issue.

I def don't think my Alby Hub was having issues, I feel the hiccups I experienced had something to do with Tor Browser itself.

I'll have to possibly take screenshots on a future trade and see if I have the same issue repeated to share. 🫡

Please share if you encounter something! Best to go to getalby.com/help so we don't lose track!
