Brazilian Portuguese!
First news is that v4v.app now has Portuguese as a language option, huge thanks to @vaipraonde! He's put in the Brazilian variant of Portuguese using the system on Crowdin which anyone can use, if you want to add another language let me know!.
Lightning Transaction Limits
I had to reduce the upper limit on Lightning transactions from 500,000 sats (200 HBD) to 250,000 sats (100 HBD). I had originally set 500k back when BTC was below $18,000 USD but as it has climbed past $40,000 now, I have had to adjust limits down. The issue is that the Lightning network itself struggles with larger transfers and it makes it very hard for me to ensure that a specific request will work. I also have to move sats around in the background to keep everything working.
For example, even Binance has a 2,000,000 sat limit on transactions and I'm sure this is because they have similar issues to what I see.
The latest limits and fees are spelled out in this post.
Quasar and Javascript Grrrr
Now this actually took me longer to release than it should and I'm going to just vent a little here.
Javascript
I hate this. I hate everything about the entire eco system of it. I last edited the files for the v4v.app site back in the middle of December. So when I saw that @vaipraonde had updated the language I thought I'd open up VSCode on the project, add 3 lines to include his language and bada-bing bada-boom it would be done... but ohhhh no.
After fixing that little strangeness it threw some more weirdness at me which I had to edit code which had been working before but suddenly was wrong.
Until eventually I could change a few lines and add in Brazilian Portuguese as a new language. With flag, which is nice.
Value for Value
For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.
If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.
