Send money to xrptipbot with moneyd and ilp-spsp

General Questions
1

I am trying to send money via live net using ILP.

The final goal is to use moneyd and ilp-spsp to deposit to the my ILP Pointer ($coil.xrptipbot.com/xxxxxx) for receipt of XrpTipBot.


and
We set up according to

https://github.com/interedgerjs/moneyd
and have confirmed that it works, but we have not successfully sent money.

Did you know how to succeed?
Should I build an ILP Connector myself?
Or is it still impossible?

The execution result of “DEBUG = * moneyd xrp: start” is as follows.

This is the same issue I’m running into. Idk what the answer is but I believe this implies you’re running into issues connecting to the BTP server. I suggest doing a few things:

  1. Make sure you have the most up to date xrp uplink installed: npm install -g moneyd-uplink-xrp
  2. Reconfigure moneyd
  3. Try starting again
  4. Maybe try configuring with a different btp server

Also still waiting for any guidance from an authority on this @austin_king

Issue for reference, probably in the wrong repo: https://github.com/interledgerjs/moneyd/issues/109

Hey guys,

I am not sure if there is an anonymous open BTP connection to the livenet right now.

Thank you for answering.
It seems difficult to connect easily.
I try to build a BTP host.

The issue seems to be that many of the infrastructure providers don’t accept anonymous BTP requests. I was able to get past this issue by connecting to phobosnode. Here are the steps I took:

  1. Make sure you have your secret
  2. Delete your .moneyd.json file. It’s most likely in your root directory. You can delete it like this: cd ~/ && rm .moneyd.json
  3. Configure moneyd: moneyd xrp:configure --advanced
  4. When asked to enter a BTP host, use ilsp1.phobosnode.com/moneyd. You can use the defaults for everything else.

Packages I updated during this process: ilp-protocol-spsp ilp-plugin-xrp-asym-server ilp-plugin-xrp-paychan

You aren’t able to send to XRPTipBot payment pointers because those are currently being routed through strata’s connector. You can spin up a payment pointer using ilp-spsp-server and send to a localtunnel.me payment pointer though.

UPDATE: I proposed an amendment to make phobosnode the default connector. It was approved and merged. You can resolve this issue by updating your uplink and reconfiguring moneyd. You can use the defaults after the update (no need for --advanced). npm install -g moneyd-uplink-xrp

Thank you for influential information
I can proceed with this work
and, thanks for integration with moneyd-uplink-xrp
