Every time I try to get reasonable amounts (e.g. ~100 USD) out of Cashu via Lightning, any app or Mint I try is giving me issues (every single time so far). Interestingly, every app will accept my incoming Lightning payments immediately and with zero issues, and will only fail the outgoing transactions. Am I the only one experiencing this? I also tried sending directly to Kraken for good measure. Their node isn't exactly short on liquidity or channels. However, our own node also has plenty of incoming capacity for low amounts like these.

The drama of the day is frankly just embarrassing. Either the screenshots are real, and thus all claims of lying simply criticize the article's wording, but not the substance. Or they're fake, and the journalist in question is intentionally spreading carefully fabricated misinformation. There is no other option, it's as simple as that. If the latter were the case, then why is there still no explicit claim of the screenshots having been faked?

If someone's claiming that CSAM is why you should censor or centralize anything on the Internet, then it's virtually certain that they're on the wrong side of history. Not because CSAM is desirable, but because it's an absurd cop-out argument that you could equally apply to a printing press. And the only people who usually make it are censorious anti-Internet politicians.

In case you want to add Zap support to your Lightning wallet, this is the shortest explanation of how it works: View quoted note → (If you use another programming language or if your wallet is unhosted, you can still look at our code and should be able to understand everything it's doing. Ruby is very easy to read.)

This is how we prevent spam (or worse) in our Lightning Network channel on XMPP, and it works perfectly fine:
