Boom. Ok, here's the issue.
How to replicate:
Create an LN Invoice for an amount that is under $1 (e.g., 1,000 sats), from ANY wallet or service.
In Cash App:
- Have BTC Balance 0 sats
- Scan or Paste the the LN invoice
Observed result: "Sorry, your withdrawal could not be processed".
Expected result: Presentation of the Pay $n.nn page, with "Confirm and pay" and "Cancel" buttons
I have dollars (USD balance), no sats (BTC balance). When I try to pay an LN invoice from some wallets, it succeeds.
When I try to pay an LN invoice from other wallets, specifically attempted today again ... Blink.sv, mint.minibits.cash, and coinos.pro, ... it fails.
There's another detail I just realized could be a factor -- I'll send that to your nostr.
As of today I am once again able to pay, using my Cash App, an LN invoice from Blink.sv, mint.minibits.com, etc. -- but only when I have a sufficient BTC balance.
Paying from my USD balance (i.e., when my Cash App BTC wallet balance is 0 or less than the amount of sats for the LN invoice), then I don't even get to the Confirm (i.e., enter PIN) step before seeing the "Sorry, your [...]" message.
So if it was a liquidity issue -- that now appears to have been resolved, at least for the (very small size) amounts I'm using for testing (all between 100 sats and 500 sats).
There remains what is, presumably, a regression I'm experiencing with Cash App where the LN invoice would be paid with USD that behaves differently than when the LN invoice would be paid with sats (BTC). This is on Android, Cash App v5.53.0.
Stablecoins are now available on Cash App #1498479
Now if they would only fix whatever they broke, earlier this week. Possibly related to adding Stablecoin support.
Cash App support also said that they, themselves, were unable to pay the LN Invoice (that I provided to them, from Blink wallet) using their Cash App. But then they said "There is not an issue on our side. You will need to work this out with the other platform."
I checked with Blink support, which said "Blink does not block inbound Lightning payments. We accept payments from any Lightning-compatible wallet or service. There are no filters on our end based on who the sender is."
Update
Cash App Version 5.53.0 released. No change -- still cannot send to KYC-free wallet apps/services.
Meanwhile, Cash App is spending their time adding support for stablecoins.
Been like this for 48 hours or more now. I've tried multiple times a day. So weird that it is an issue only these KYC-free wallets and services. I'm doing multiple successful transactions each day, to other LN nodes, without issue.
With Blink.sv wallet, Cash App now isn't even giving me the chance to confirm that I want to pay the LN invoice. I simply Paste and then it goes straight to the Sorry, your withdrawal could not be processed. At least that is that way when paying from my USD wallet. Paying in sats (i.e., from BTC balance), it at least gets past the Confirm (enter PIN) part.
This certainly seems like some type of blacklist. Either Blink, or ... maybe me?
Yes, i can now pay any larger amount and for smaller (sub-$1), as long as I use BTC as the funding source those work also.
It was just confusing because I was assuming the fail.was due to walt being KYC free but that was just a coincidence. It failed because I was trying to test and only tried to send a tiny amount, and only from USD wallet in my Cash App.
