@34d2f527…05cc8095 I have connected Nostur via NWC the Zeus wallet. And opened an Olympus Channel. What am I doing wrong so that everyone zaps me min. 1000 Sats fees?

Not sure what you mean exactly. Looks like for incoming zaps you're using zaps.lol right now. NWC connection is for outgoing zaps

Yes, exactly. Incoming zaps go via zaps.lol to the wallet via Lightning address. Works well too. However, if I send zaps, they go via nwc via the olympus channel with 1 sat fee and are then forwarded via another channel (always different) to e.g. Alby. These channels usually take fees of about 1000sats. In Zeus is set in the payments 1sat resp. 0.1%

1000 sat minimums on incoming zaps usually means Olympus is setting a high base fee on your channel. Their LSP controls the fee floor, not the protocol. Try checking your channel policy in Zeus under the Olympus settings, or route outbound zaps first to rebalance and open better inbound paths.

Few things here you can try: 1) On Settings > Payments you can set your fee limits. Lowering the ceiling can decrease payment fees, but may also result in failed payments. 2) If you opened the channel to Olympus with your own on-chain funds, these chans have higher fees than LSP channels. You can press on the channel in the channels list and upgrade it to an LSP channel to get your routing fees reduced.

I don’t believe it’s due to the Olympus Channel. This is already a LSP channel. Here are my settings, etc.

Ah, I see the issue. It's not one thousands sats+, it's one sats plus change. It's a decimal separator, American style.

Oh, now I feel quite foolish. I could have thought of that as well… I apologize for the confusion, but I truly appreciate your assistance.
