I don't even need to check the prices to know that BTC must be going down because I put out a buy offer on Bisq on Friday and it's still there. And I just pegged it to the market price, 0% discount/premium. My previous purchase was during a couple of days that we went up, and it was a matter of seconds.

Not on Bisq. I often buy below market price even. The fact that it's taking one week to do a trade, I've never encountered something like this. Suddenly it's gone dead. Robosats is giving me all sorts of pain for what should be a simple purchase. Alby doesn't work even though it's the wallet they literally say "offers the best experience". Holy fuck, what is it like with the others then? So in the end, I'm forced to settle this trade on chain, with the associated fees - which I would have never done had I known in advance, because it's a small trade of a few hundred bucks, so the fees eat into it and make it even more crazy expensive. All in all, a huge loss I'm taking with this "experiment". Not to mention, the whole system is super insecure. You have to chat your way through the whole transaction. Exactly the opposite to Bisq, where chat is discouraged to minimize unsafe interactions. Well, I never liked the platform to begin with, but I gave it another try today, with equally poor results. If Bisq doesn't come back to life, I'll have to deal with this shit, but that probably means ditching @Alby for good. I'm not gonna have a salad of wallets and platforms, passwords, signers and shit for what should be a very straightforward operation.
Sorry @KoalaSat, I was not clear. The issue is not payment failure. When the client waits for buyer invoice, it does not accept the invoice when it gets pasted from alby. So the channel capacity should not matter. @HH do you remember if there was a particular error popping up?
No error message. I pasted the invoice, pushed the submit button, and nothing happened.
