Sometimes on “Ask Historians” threads you will see questions like, What did ancient people think lightning was? Or static electricity?
What phenomena do we experience today that will have future generations wondering, What did 21st century people think THAT was?

The failed transactions are really odd. I opened new channels to lqwd and Zeus, paying invoices from Kraken. Both channels successfully opened, but I also saw these failed transactions in my Alby wallet (see image).
The invoices were 2.8k and 9.8k sats. And the channels are open.
So I can’t explain these failed tx. I definitely didn’t try to pay a 45k invoice! Maybe I’m not understanding what the error means https://image.nostr.build/667a09515b66fd3cf4ba434de4786877bcd2c4dc711764f5c98c025281dfff41.jpg

Thanks for taking the time to respond to all these messages! It must hurt that Alby is taking the heat for this when it’s clearly the LSP having issues.
But since we’re paying the LSP’s to open channels, how should we make them accountable?

2025-03-12 15:56:00

I can give it a try, but opening a channel is not a trivial expense, and frankly I don’t know what level of service I can expect

I’m having the exact same issue as you with Megalith being offline (I also self-host Alby Hub). Unfortunately this is a first so I can’t advise what to do!

2025-03-12 11:29:21

lol, nothing serious. I had avoided the built-in primal wallet because I prefer self-custody, but the lightning channels I opened are offline or flaky, so I thought I’d give it a go. While trying to sound up-beat about it!

I can confirm, I’m having the exact same issue with Megalith/Alby

2025-03-12 10:35:04

The day has come! I just sent some sats to my @nprofile…vvvw wallet so I can keep zapping. It’s the only lightning thing that’s working for me right now (the other channels I opened are offline or not working)

2025-03-12 10:25:07

- reply

I opened a new channel with LQwD which my Hub now says is online. I then tried paying an invoice to my Hub but it didn’t work.
And now my Alby wallet shows a failed send transaction with the exact amount I paid to open the channel.

2025-03-12 08:26:57

I’m seeing Megalith LSP as “offline” in my Alby Hub. Any idea @npub1get…0nfm ? First time it’s happened

What exactly is the intended “strategy” of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve?
The “strategy” of the Strategic Oil Reserve is to buy when the price is low and the supply is stable and sell when the price spikes and supply is disrupted.
Bitcoin doesn’t have a supply “problem” (instead, that’s a feature). It doesn’t have an evident high price problem.
The only obvious strategy so far was to use the Bitcoin Reserve to get a headline.

“sats” I mean, not zaps

2025-03-09 13:05:58

- reply

Please someone correct me, but I think it’s a cost. You pay an invoice, the sats are gone. If you close the channel your remaining balance should go back on-chain. The “lock-up” would seem to be the “reserve” which is a few hundred zaps.

2025-03-09 12:57:59

I’m trying to articulate the value proposition of Lightning for a Nostr user. Opening a channel costs you thousands of sats a year. Unless you run a business on Lightning or are talented enough to rack up enough zaps to break even, I guess you should budget it as “entertainment.” 🎉⚡️
