Disclaimer: lnproxy.org now defaults to selecting a random relay from the centralized list you can find on github (one day we will query nostr for relay ads).
It's good time to post "running lnproxy-relay" and start collecting some some routing fees.

Part of this was a known issue with LND (your intuition was spot-on @npub186t…59su)
If you want to see which inflight payments are actually stuck you can do something like this:
lncli listpayments --include_incomplete |
jq -r '
.payments |
.[]
| select(.status == "IN_FLIGHT") |
[.payment_hash, .value_msat, ([.htlcs | .[] | select(.status == "IN_FLIGHT") | .route.total_time_lock ] | max)] |
@tsv
'
Then check that the max route.total_time_lock is in the future

I think it should be possible, but some wallets cannot pay to blinded bolt 11 invoices

interesting

Payments to the original invoice for users of the demo lnproxy relay have been failing for a couple weeks. (Though with lnproxy your funds are never at risk, if the payment to the original invoice fails the payment to the proxy invoice has to be canceled).
Testing a fix now, give it a try if your proxy payments have been failing lately.

It's just a little relay that I'm experimenting on. Nothing malicious there.

I'm requesting to join the Nostrocket Identity Tree and claiming my permanym: lnproxy

Is there a program for testing / benchmarking relays? I've been working on a boltdb backend for github.com/fiatjaf/relayer and I want to see how it stacks up agains the sqls.

Yes, they've been my offsite backup solution for years.
Good for lnd backups too, just inotify and scp in a shell script.

Increased the balance on the https://lnproxy.org/spec relay. If you've been trying to use lnproxy for large payments, it will be more reliable now.

The handful of people that were using lnproxy don't really have an alternative while my server is down, so if you're running this on #raspiblitz let me know and I'll add some links to your server on http://lnproxy.org let's give these people access to privacy on lightning.
