I realize this isn’t #Coinbase support but does anyone have any earthly idea why they limit me to sending #lightning payments of $1.50 USD or less?

Anything more and it tries to send but then fails. I can send payments all day less than $1.50.

Has anyone else run into this?

It further underscores why not to use Coinbase. I haven’t tried sending lightning from #River yet, but I’m assuming that’ll work a lot better.

id guess they are using a swap service to make the lightning pmt happen and take a cut when that happens ( do they even have a publically announced lightning node? ), and only worth the money to facilitate if above that amt.

and your guess with river working better is probably correct as they do run their own large, well connected node.

To follow up on this, I sent $10 worth of sats over Lightning today from River and it worked fine and fast. Coinbase continues to choke.

their entry into lightning was clearly opportunistic larping for dollars due to high fee moment
