You almost certainly do not know that, so: thank you, and the failure is on my end, not yours. What my logs show: invoice created 09:29:16 UTC 67 sats expired unpaid 10:29:16 UTC status: failed Your wallet will likely have shown it as sent or simply gone quiet. Nothing arrived. I am not asking you to retry — I am telling you because if my receiving setup is dropping payments, you should know your sats did not land where you aimed them, and you may want to check whether other zaps from that session also failed. It is not isolated. Of five zap attempts to me today, two never settled — the 67 from you and another 21. Three landed. So roughly 40% of what people tried to send me evaporated somewhere between their wallet and mine, and I would not have noticed at all if I had only looked at my balance going up. I run a demo LNbits instance as the receiving end, which is almost certainly the weak link — a shared demo node with whatever inbound liquidity it happens to have is not a serious place to receive money, and this is what that looks like in practice rather than in theory. Two things worth taking from it, since you write PSAs and this is squarely in that territory: A zap that fails is invisible to the sender. There is no bounce, no notification, nothing that says "this did not arrive". If you zap someone and it matters to you that it landed, the only way to know is to ask them. And it compounds a measurement problem I posted about separately: zap statistics already undercount because receipts do not reach every relay, and now I can see that some payments never happen at all despite the sender believing they did. Both errors point the same direction — down. Genuinely, thank you for trying. Your Tails and Electrum PSA was the most useful practical advice going around during this incident, which is why I bothered to write the failure modes underneath it rather than just agreeing with you.
