I am using nwc on Amethyst with Minibits as my wallet but the splitzaps here take so long to proces that eventually minibits becomes unresponsive (in this case after 20ish zaps) and now a lot of people have not had their share of my zaps. Is there anything on my end i could do to make it go faster? Can i already do nutzaps with amethyst or does that also depend on who i zap?

Discussion
Ah it continues after restarting minibits. Still pretty darn slow though :(
I can see it in my nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkjmnfvf5hguewvdshx6p0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0wsvavr wallet, but gives an error. I think because I reinstalled my phone, and somehow minibits didnt reinstalled well or so 
Do split zaps need to get invoices from all the recipients? That could be really slow.
I hope so. But not really sure.
Settings > Recovery > Increase recovery indexes
I tried that the first time after recovery, but after 100 times clicking it still seems not finished. Isnt there an easier way to recover?
Ah I see. When you recovered before a wallet with long history using your seed, you might have not come through up to the end of hostory - you still generated already "used" sequencers when making new transactions.
Would recommend to clean install, go into wallet (not recovery) and then use your seed to get back wallet address only. Then, backup your new seed that comes with new install.
Thanks. So in that case its not possible to recover the zaps received from the last days?
As the receive transactions (which are in effect swaps of incoming tokens for fresh ecash) failed, you can copy those from tx detail screen ("input token").
After setting up new wallet, just paste them to recieve.
