Trying out yet another LN Address.
Hope this works out better than zeus did for me!

How many are you at? I’ve opened so many wallets last few days 🤦🏼♀️
What’s the trouble for you with Zeus?
It just doesn't seem to work for me. I get zaps trapped in the zap locker and no way to redeem bevause i get errors. Something about hash not mstching or something.
I try to send lightning out of the wallet and no routes found.
Frustrating!
So I sorta solved incoming zaps on blixt... it tends to work some of the time but not always. I was on wos but trying to move away. I've tried zeus and blixt, both have same issues. Mutiny is great but no lnaddress. Strike works but it's custodial.
I'll probably mess with alby next but that service confuses me... and it's inconvenient cause I don't think there's any mobile extension so I have to be at my computer I think?
To use it without being at your desktop, yes to the extension… but also need to add another compatible wallet and sync them. I’m still figuring out that one too.
So I've received zaps sitting in my lightning box but I have no inbound liquidity. I'm trying to send lightning puts out to get inbound but... it can't find routes to anywhere I try to send!
Frustrating.
I've got some zaps here but not sure how to get them into my wallet
Looks like blixt is working a lot better than zeus as my recieve wallet! Can I humbly ask for a few more zaps to be sure it's fully working?
Pls let me know ur zap amt and which wallet ur sending from. Just in case anything gets borked
I just zapped myself from mutiny and no issues.
Is this on iOS or Android? I saw somewhere that you have to go to “Advanced” but I didn’t see anything. I’m on TestFlight iOS btw.
Hrmm odd. I'm on android. Let me see if there's anything I need to toggle
I figured. I’ll check it out on Android later. 🤙
So one of the things I had to set up was persistent mode. I also had to send in onchain transaction to get some outbound. For some reason i was struggling to send it out (couldnt find route). I had to then send in more sats separately (not sure why in worked but out didnt) after allowing their LND provider to automatically open channels for me... it opened another channel with both inbound and outbound liquidity (mostly just outbound)
Will keep this in mind. Thanks!
Gotta get got to ge liquidity in a channel 1st then enable persistent node and then it should give you the option to generate addy
Gotcha, thanks. 🤙
Sigh I'm having a world of issues over here.
I've got lightning sats in my wallet but can't send them out. I've got 3 channels open. One with BlixtWallet with both in and outbound liquidity. Another with BlixtWallet (again for some reason) with ouly outbound. I also have a channel to my home node with both in and out PLUS my home node is connected to BlixtWallet with both in & out liquidity.
I tried zapping to my WoS account (which my home node is ALSO connected to). Yet my zaps keep timing out.
Tried sending to numerous other addresses, including muun and my zeus pay node which is IN THE SAME PHONE... same result.
😠😞😤😡😡😡
Did you enable graph sync & bimodal lath finding?
Yeah... persistant, graph sync, bimodal, multipath, and tor. (I'll try turning off tor). I've also turned off all the phones battery saver stuff as well.
I don’t understand why your having so many issue?
Bro, me either 🤣🤣
Something seems to be blocking connections maybe?
Not sure if you read though this?
"Is recommended to have at least 3 channels open in your Blixt, with 3 different peers, for redundancy of paths, but not more than 5-6. Having more than 6 channels on your Blixt will just add more loading into the graph and performance, will not help too much.
One with Blixt node (Dunder or regular) - for a good connection with other big nodes and other Blixt users.
One with a low fee LSP node - for cheaper txs and also choose one that is well connected
One with your own node (if you have) - for other liquidity movements and or privacy, also as redundancy of previous.
Is good also to have always activated the MPP (multi-part payment) in settings. That could help using multiple channels in one tx.
Always maintain these few channels with enough liquidity. You can anytime refill them based on your usage, with the swap services."
Hrmmm yeah I've got 3 channels open similar to what they're saying. I'm using their LSP (Dunder) but it shows as just Blixt but gives me both in/out. My Blixt channel gives me out only and my home node gives me in only. I'll try to open a channel from blixt to home node to get out only as well... see how that works maybe...
I don’t understand why this stuff seems so complicated?
N they wonder why everyone uses custodial services.
I’m probably going to read this whole fucking website….
Yeah and I'm not noob either. I mean I'm definitely still learning but I'm about 1000x more techie than any other normie I know.
I think part of it isnits just so junky with each team having a slightly different implementation... no real standards (downside of non-centralised development), wild west, etc.
I agree with this.
