https://bitcoinexplorer.org/address/1AzajWfrD8X6XoJEZ2Vshbd5492B1sxamTCore Lightning's problem: the pay function fails (
https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/7180).
Boltz Exchange wrote a workaround plugin (
https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/6793) but this fix is insufficient. CLN needs a native pay function that works out-of-the box. LND and Phoenix fail to find payment routes at times, but not like CLN, which constantly fails to pay invoices, regardless of the number of nodes connected, channel balance, or invoice amount.
Once CLN is fixed and deployed (i.e. once users can use the native pay function reliably without any add-ons/plugins), the funds in the address above will be sent to the developers who are responsible for the fix. If multiple developers contribute to the solution, the funds will be allocated proportionally, with CLN lead developer Rusty Russell determining the payout proportions.
