Is there any way for me to specify which channel to send and/or receive payments on? I have three open channels and the rebalance plugin doesn't seem to be working. I'm using core-lightning.

If you're talking about circular rebalance you can pick outgoing and incoming channels with tools like thunderhub and ride the lightning. I'm not sure if those are available in CLN though, I only used LND.

If you're talking about picking an outgoing channel to pay someone else I'm not sure you can pick, but you can query a route before you pay using ride the lightning.

Yeah, I'm taking about circular payments. I tried this with lightning-cli

lightning-cli rebalance

But I get this error message

WIRE_FEE_INSUFFICIENT

Also, I use Ride the Lightning, but the rebalance option is not in the GUI anywhere like it shows in the documentation and YouTube videos.

In RTL of you look at your channel list I think there's something on the right side of every channel that you can click on and it gives you the option to rebalance there.

Yeah, that's where I see people go on YouTube videos, but it's not there for me for some reason😞

WTF! Must be only on the LND version of something. Sorry! I'm out of ideas.

I know you can on LND. I’m sure you can on CLN too, what program are you using?

I have Ride the Lighting for the front end and lightning-cli on the command line.
