Getting 'no channels available to send payment' when paying RoboSats HODL invoice

Open madis opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

The title pretty much says it: after couple years of using RoboSats platform without issues, recently (not sure if due to updating to new Phoenix app) I can't pay any invoices they generate and am persistently getting no channels available to send payment.

Phoenix version: Android, app version 2.1.1

RoboSats is a pretty well known service and I'm not sure why the ACINQ node can't route a payment to them. Could you do something about it?

I have the same error, when trying to pay the hold_invoice with Phoenix in the lnp2pbot service I get 'no channels available to send payment'. Phoenix version: 2.2.1 running on Android 11 (MIUI 12.5.5, Xiaomi Redmi 9) lnp2pbot Web: https://lnp2pbot.com GitHub: https://github.com/lnp2pbot

The exact same thing happens to me when I use @lnp2pbot, when the HOLD INVOICE is requested through the bot it sends me a message that says “There is no channel available to send the payment” in Phoenix, this has happened to me in the last 60 days

Phoenix version: iOS app version 2.1.0

@lnp2pbot works very well with other wallets and is a service used worldwide, I hope I can solve this problem, thank you

RoboSats being one of the few decentralized, uncensorable and anonymous bitcoin onramps, I would have hoped that with the increased fees Phoenix could dedicate at least some time or resources to fixing this issue. Any updates?

I was about to try to Robosats, but i can't lock funds to take any order because of "no channel" mentioned here.

Version 2.2.2

Is it us, or the wallet is unable to process the payment ? Any info would be highly appreciated :)

Not much have been writen about the issue on the internet and many report compatibility with the wallet, thus i wonder why it's not working for a few of us.
