@Alby if I wanted to pay to subscribe to your “Pro” account with my Alby Hub and retrieve my lightning address (which you still send me emails about) am I allowed to?

Stuff nobody seems to know about Lightning.... How do you clear a stuck In-Flight payment which failed 1002 days ago? Seriously? I'm working on some new code for my node and both the LND nodes I have have stuck payments like this. Obviously this node has been rebooted and upgraded numerous times in the last 1002 days! ⛱️ Payment: 16397 amount: 99,933 sat pre_image: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 in flight time: 1002 days, 1:47:06.093676 created: 2022-04-04 14:11:24.390480+00:00 status: IN_FLIGHT

Unfortunately @Alby appears to be geo blocking Israel. This renders a lot of the functioning of the so-called self sovereign Alby Hub very hard to access. Full details on my blog.

Are you having trouble withdrawing Lightning from @binance ? I am but I know the reason and its not your fault. For the last few weeks any attempt to withdraw Lightning from Binance to my LND based Lightning node would tell me "no route". I could withdraw to another node: one which was ONLY connected to the rest of the Lightning network via my primary node but not to my primary (obviously withdrawing to this secondary node meant sats passing through my primary so route wasn't an issue). After asking at LND Labs I found out that there is an issue with the current LND 0.18.3 version which inserts a whole lot of extra feature bits in the invoices. This upsets Binance's withdraw system. The only answer is to use another system to receive sats that isn't running LND 0.18.3. This has been fixed in the pending LND 0.18.4 release.

Anyone ever seen a Lightning payment on an Invoice with a 1 hour expiry that confirmed 3 months later? Binance sent a payment, they marked it as failed, refunded it and 3+ months later it shows as settled and they want the refund back (given because they have the Payment Hash). How would a normal user with a Wallet of Satoshi account know what to do about this?
