I’m not super impressed with OCEAN right now and going to move some hash back to Braiins. Currently I have Braiins payout being sent to a Speed wallet. BTW- I would not suggest using Speed as they require KYC to withdraw funds. Boo.
So…without getting ahead of the upcoming tutorials I’m trying to setup Alby but as usual confusion is in the air.
Alby says: Low receiving limit
You likely won’t be able to receive payments until you swap out funds or increase your receiving limits.
So…I imagine a swap would be the way to go? I have a Spending Balance of 550,000, Receive 0, On-chain 133,00. When I click on Swap I get this window…
Without revealing upcoming content inside your upcoming videos…what the heck do I do here @paul
Reason: I’m going to be bringing 90TH/s unit online in a 2 weeks and participate in two pools. If you would rather not jump ahead of tutorial I do understand. The current videos I see online speak to the Cloud hub for Alby which I do not want to participate in as I’d rather self host on Start9.
Your channel with ACINQ is 100% outbound. You likely want to move most of that out (typically, you would send it to cold storage, but you could send it to a hot wallet or to your Lightning node’s base layer wallet). That will create inbound liquidity on that channel (which is what Alby is referring to).
The important point there is just “No Route” (the rest is contextual info for debugging purposes in case it is useful). There are typically two things that cause that:
Not enough liquidity on the nodes you are connected with to handle the transaction amount
Not enough outbound was left on the channel to meet the min channel balance
In both cases, breaking the invoice into smaller chunks usually resolves the problem. The drawback of course is that you pay more than one base layer transaction fee, so best to do this when the fee rates are low.
A third possible cause:
The max fee rate you specified (or the default if you didn’t set this) is too low. I typically select 2% for maximum fee rate and don’t ever see the fees get that high. This is why I don’t use the swap feature, and instead create the invoice directly on Boltz.exchange, and pay it from RTL (which lets me select a max percentage where I can enter “2”)
