Hello, on Thunderhub - home/lightning wallet/send/is key send-yes/paste the public key/decode/select amount os sats/send - then RED Unknown error sign popps up every time. I’m trying to send sats to a new channel but won’t let me. Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong? Thank you! ---

mean the destination node is offline or the channel is not yet published through gossip. Takes time if is the first channel ---

OK, my node has been up for about 2 months and it is my first attempt to pay my friend, which is my first channel connection too. Thank you very much for your reply and i will check your recommendation.
