Hope Square can get this done in Australia.

Out of interest, did you pay with Zeus? Was there an awkward 30 seconds of waiting for the payment to go through?

idk why people have 30 secs to pay with Zeus.
I use various nodes on Zeus (LDK, LND, remote) and all of them are under 3 seconds.
I think you guys don't know how to use it or you have really shity channel peers.

Tried it again today with square... After the express graph sync it took only 3 seconds. Amazing!!!

It's pretty common TBH. The OP and I aren't the only ones.

Yes I used Zeus. Yes there was about 30 seconds... It warned me that my express graph sync needed to update which I ignored so that didn't help, and there were 5-6 hops plus the blinded paths which took longer.

But I attribute this to growing pains of the lightning network imo the important thing is that it worked.

Expect the calls for 'think of the children' to become commonplace... Should lightning-based medium of exchange to ever become popular in a place like Australia.
