 Is there something wrong with zaps?
I am zapping some people here but for some reason they’re not going through and I have plenty of sats! 
 I just zapped you 
 Did you get my zap just now? 
 Nope 
 I tried again and still nothing 
 I can zap you 🤷‍♂️ 
 Did my zap come through to you now? 
 Nope. I haven't seen one since this morning. 
 It tried.

 Why is it doing this? 
 Maybe an Alby problem, Minibits works  
 Could be on the receiving side, which you wouldn’t be able to control. What do you use to send? 
 Did you get my zap now? 
 No I haven’t received anything from you 
 So why can’t @melissa and I zap anyone, we’re both on getalby? 
 Mine is from a force channel closure the other day. Just waiting for the sats to reappear soon 🤞 
 Looks like they are having an issue with NWC, according to their status website, but there’s an update a few minutes ago that it’s fixed. It might work now but I’m just going off their website info. Screenshot and link below:

 Whoops sorry that says AM, not sure which timezone they’re in 😅 Anyway, could be related? 
 @Alby 👆 
 I tried again just now and still not getting through 
 I received one from you on that note 
 Did this one come through just now? 
 Yes got it 🙌 
 This is very strange, for some reason my wallet connection keeps dropping out of Damus! 
 Does not look like your zaps are going through. What wallet are you using? 
 Getalby 
 Maybe there’s something wrong on their side.

Are you using a legacy custodial wallet? 
 👀 
 I can zap you! 
 What wallet are you using? 
 Zeus with my own node 
 Need a zap ⚡️🥺 
 I just zapped you from my alby attached to my Zeus 
 They've frozen your sats. The CIA is coming for you 👀 
 Good let them come 😂 
 Call them up and ask them to bring warm, fresh bagels 😂😂 
 On it right now😂 
 Did you get my zap just now? 
 111 sats? Yep 
 Hmmm not sure why it wasn’t going through earlier, thanks for letting me know. 
 Something seems off with Alby

I tried sending sats from Speed to Alby and it took much longer than usual

Anyway, good your zaps are going thru

Do you want me to try and send you some? 
 Seems very strange, glad to hear that it’s working again.
Thanks for the offer but it’s ok a few others have zapped me and it’s coming through my end. 💜 
 Let us know if transactions still take longer than expected --> support@getalby.com!
We'll check it! 
 Does it work with your Nostr again?

PS: I got my first zaps yesterday. So proud of 🫣😊 
 Not sure, seems to work for me.
