#Lightning really shits the bed at higher (but not all that high) amounts. I used #Zeus to send 250k sats to another wallet. I upped the timeout to 4 minutes (after figuring out that it timed out after 60 seconds by default), which I figure is more than enough time to piss a merchant off and everyone standing in line behind me waiting for my fiat killer to work.
I can't seem to use any of this shit seriously without having to constantly fuck around with settings, troubleshooting, and vague errors.
Square adoption is great and all, but what happens when Lightning shits the bed? I can't pull out Lightning cash. My only other options in this shitty bed are fiat, on chain (even more waiting), or some custodial company.
The only way I finally got the transaction to succeed was to split it into several smaller amounts. Sending and receiving capacities were enough on both ends.
This is just using my own wallets at home. I can't imagine dealing with this at a merchant.
