 anyone have any good fediment suggestions I can use for this? 
 The app has a built-in recommendation system. They should be ranked by most recommended among the people you follow 
 Any idea why every lightning address name I try comes back as already exists?

 Can't have capitals in your name, that's probably the problem 
 Yes I was able to fix going all lowercase. Question when someone zaps my lightning address it should show up under federation balance? I just test zapped myself three times and it showed up nowhere so far its been five minutes. I have restarted app multiple times too. Federation balance is 0 and Lightning balance did not go up either. Weird.

 Yeah that's suspicious, can you send your logs 
 Ok going to DM the logs 
 Opening an issue here would be best 
 Where should I send it doesn't seem like I can send txt file through nostr DMS.... 
 According to amethyst, it still shows your old alby lightning address. It should be broadcasting the update out once you create the lightning address in mutiny. Could you manually update your lightning address in your normal nostr client?  
 Yea on Nostr I still have my old lightning address but from Alby wallet I sent a payment directly to ivan@mutiny.plus and it showed up in the section where payments and receives are but Federation balance shows 0 and lightning total balance went up 0.  So not sure whats happening that balances have not updated.

 The same thing is happening to me...the latest zaps are not being added to my balance 
 Question did your federation balance ever show a balance? I am using the same federation as you. The freedom one. 
 Mine never did always stuck on 0 
 Yes I have a balance, but it has stopped being added… 
 Okay thanks for the reply I guess there is an issue with the federation starting today because mine never showed a balance  
 Do you think I should transfer everything in federation to Lightning? 
 Seems like they are working on it.

 Think we found the issue. Will be testing and then hopefully shipping the fix ASAP. 
 Sounds good. I'll test and report back. 
 Do what Ben said, or can also go directly to bitcoinmints.com and filter by fedimints. 3 different ones have ratings already, 4 have recommendations. 
 thanks bro, I picked one that was recommended by some followers but I think it doesn't work😂think I'm stuck with it for now haha 
 Which one?

 Ha I think that's called Odin Federation. Probably best using either free Madeira or freedom one (run by the Mutiny guys?) right now. They're the top 2 on that website. 
 If you need help moving to a new one lmk 
 "Fedimint is required for this feature to work, so you must add one before adding a Lightning Address. For this first MVP, there's also a requirement that you do not change the federation you had when you added the Lightning Address. We will support this in a later release. If you change it, you'll stop receiving funds from your Lightning Address, and you'll have to change it back to the original federation."

I wanna keep the address I picked out so ima wait for the option to swap federations and keep the same address :) thank you though! also I only have wallet of satoshi to test and that wasnt working but apparently neither is strike so maybe it's an issue on those wallet's ends and not the federation itself  
 Hm OK. I tried zapping you through NWC on the freedom one federation so maybe it's on their end. 
 Freedom one 
 F.R.E.E madeira is a good one:
