With rising fees, it's even more important that you check your lightning mobile nodes more often in order to update channel fees. Further, if you were the channel opener (instead of the LSP opening a just in time channel to you), then you may not be able to take advantage of your full balance since part of your funds need to be available to close the channel eventually. We'll update the UI next week to reflect that. If you're getting low on funds (<100k sats) and you opened the channel by swapping from on chain funds to LN, you may run into instant payment failures.

gn @ZEUS users Make sure to check your zaplocker instance before going to bed so Zeus can take his 50% cut

Freedom to get rekt. If you want to potentially pay outrageous on chain fees due to a stuck zap to @ZEUS - you can go right ahead. It's in the admin section of the settings. Invoices and lightning addresses were always allowed, it was just zaps, which are typically low in value and are done without the user knowing they're potentially paying a hodl invoice. This is also wasteful to the network from a locked htlc perspective. This was never a hypothetical situation, there has been many instances of this happening to our users since Zeus Pay, and with on chain fees being really high, is not worth making small payments that get stuck. But if you want to do that now, glhf. image

We have recently disabled the ability to zap @ZEUS wallet users from Mutiny. You may still pay their invoices or LN addresses normally but a big problem we were seeing was force closed channels due to stuck payments to Zeus due to their work arounds with locked payments. Which harm both the user experience and other lightning nodes on the network. Since nostr users are mostly unaware if they're zapping Zeus users or not, we are taking this step proactively to protect users from having a 10 sat zap costing them serious on chain channel closing (and reopening) fees. The approach we are working on for solving lightning addresses on mobile wallets is a fedimint hybrid approach where the sats end up at a federation if you are offline but get swept to your self custodial channel when you come online. Payments will settle instantly with the federation and it won't lock up unnecessary HTLCs on the network. Ideally we get the ability to do offline receives normally on LN but that future is looking really grim with LND's continued priorities on shitcoins instead of features, and offline receives depends on a network wide upgrade. We petition Zeus to move to a more responsible node implementation like LDK unless their plan is to add shitcoins or break LN further.
