Unable to pay my Test node from Phoenix wallet with a bolt12 offer

[hMsats]

Phoenix version: 2.7.1

Node id Test node: 02a9dbc1724ecdcd94364920c029cc5b260081d5148d6698328f8dc73b3bfa0fcd

Node id Main node: 031979fe6ce0e69ece6d99a4bc4a7b30ed22a8cb8703dd7dd2dfaf619e07127e0b

If Phoenix can pay the main node but not the test node, then it's an issue with the test node.

E.g.:

• the channel linking the test node to the rest of the network is unavailable
• the test node is somehow misconfigured

You can try to pay a bolt11 invoice from the test node first instead of bolt12, to keep things simple.

Thanks, good idea. Paying 50 sats with a bolt11 invoice from Phoenix -> Test node worked:

If I may ask. Where did you find the testnet version of the phoenix wallet? Bc I can not find it in the releases anywhere

[hMsats]

@MatsukiTsushida Testnet version? Maybe I don't understand your question but I'm using real bitcoin/sats.

But u have a test node set up....how are u supposed to pay your test node if your phoenix wallet is on mainnet lmao. That's probably why it doesn't work lol

[hMsats]

I only call it a "Test node" because I use this node to test new versions of CLN before applying it to my main node because if something goes wrong on the main node I might lose my connections to ACINQ or Kraken. So it's a "Test node" not a "Testnet node". By the way, the payments work from my "Test node" to Phoenix wallet. Sorry for the confusion this may have caused.

Aw man, bc I am trying to use testnet with with the Phoenix wallet and I heard it can be set up so I thought u were taking about it 😭😭😭

Ah hihi. I found this: https://acinq.co/pub/phoenix/phoenix-testnet-latest.apk on this page

@dpad85 When I pay my Main node from Phoenix (with an offer), I see the corresponding invoice appear at my node. When I pay my Test node from Phoenix, no invoice is created at my node. So the problem isn't the payment itself but getting the invoice from my Test node. I try to look for differences between my Main node and my Test node at my side but can't find any.
