3 is your issue. Private channels don't work in practice, though in theory they're supposed to.

Ocean payouts on Lightning have information made public (so that everyone can varify payouts) making private channels not private anyway. 

 I’m waiting for the Ocean LN payout. Seems delayed compared to previous blocks? All should be working from my side and did previously.. 

 Nothing is 100% reliable on Lightning. We will have attempted it already - if you didn't receive it shoot a DM. 

 It worked now after the latest block👍 

 after opening a new public channel, it worked! got my lightning payout this morning, thanks! 🤝
