Recent Notes

Note for users of the new Primal wallet: The new wallet denoted as "self-custodial" by Primal uses Spark.

Spark is an API provided by the Los Angeles company LightSpark. ( https://www.lightspark.com/ )

LightSpark is a competitor to Megalith & Rizful, so we're generally committed to keeping our mouth shut with regard to LightSpark's overall merits.

But: everyone should know that LightSpark payments over the Lightning network can have significant LATENCY......

LightSpark is doing quite a lot of complicated stuff "on top" of the Lightning network.

If, for example, you were using the previous Primal wallet (provided by Strike), you might have been able to zap a user and get a confirmation of successful zap within 1 to 2 seconds. Using LightSpark's API, by contrast, our tests indicate that a zap confirmation can take upwards of 10 seconds. (TEN SECONDS!)

We're bringing this up because we're seeing a lot of "I can't zap" complaints recently.

If you're having problems, check your lightning address service -- if it's run by LightSpark -- in this includes many wallets marketed as "self-custodial", such as Breez, Wallet Of Satoshi, Primal, and others.... it might be that you CAN zap and zaps DO work, but that you're just not used to waiting 10 seconds for a confirmation, so you're giving up and closing out of the zap attempt early....

And sometimes the network services that are used by Spark wallets don’t work (especially on Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS). So wallets would start saying you have no sats, and you wonder where all of your Bitcoin went. Also I never had a speed problem. But that might be because I’ve worked with ot...

Happy to help - if you ever get in a situation like this, please ping @Rizful.com in your note so we can be sure to see it.

We'd be happy to troubleshoot this if you contact us so we can do some invoice test: https://megalithic.me/contact

In our experience, there can be challenges if you try to rely on ACINQ as a routing node. ACINQ should be reliable for reaching Phoenix wallet users, but I would not necessarily rely on ACINQ to route outbound payments to elsewhere on the Lightning network.

Same with WOS -- if you run your own node, channels with WOS or ACINQ will be most useful to reach users of those services.

If you want reliable routing to the whole network, I'd suggest a node that is really optimized for reachability -- for example -- Megalith, Megalith LSP, Megalith Small Channels, Zeus, Ln.Server, Cyberdyne.sh... and lots of others.

The other thing is that Lightning is really is an always-on protocol. If you are running a node behind Tor or behind a flaky internet connection -- or both -- you can expect in some circumstances to have stuck HTLCs.

I have not but only because Yakihonne isn’t a great client. I can try the same scenario there to see if it’s a primal thing. Let me go try. Thanks for reaching out.

If it works with Alby Go, I think that shows that the problem is not on the NWC side, but on the application side. I'd recommend trying a different nostr app -- Yakihonne maybe on a different device or try the Alby browser extension on desktop.

ok! a couple questions
1) "sending sats out of my wallet" can you be more specific? whenever you zap a certain nostr user? what happens if you zap a different nost user? try zapping us 1 sat
2) pls try the NWC code in a different application, like Yakihonne
3) what platform (iOS, android, web?) are you using primal on?
thanks
