I see install instructions for Raspiblitz, Umbrel, and MyNode. Nothing for Start9?
#lightning #fees #lnd #node
I'm really tired of bad node operator that do not take advantage of everything we have and expect for the LN network to work properly. If you have a node, please do this.
I recommend having an automatic fee automator like charge-lnd so channels don't become stagnant:
https://github.com/accumulator/charge-lnd
And put some negative inbound fees for channels with no liquidity:

Any question I will respond below.
A good starting configuration:
========
[encourage-routing]
# 'autobalance' (lower fees so using outbound is more attractive)
chan.min_ratio = 0.98
inbound_base_fee_msat = 0
inbound_fee_ppm = 0
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 0
fee_ppm = 0
[discourage-routing]
# 'autobalance' (higher fees so using outbound is less attractive)
chan.max_ratio = 0.2
chan.min_ratio = 0.05
inbound_base_fee_msat = -64
inbound_fee_ppm = -16
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 1_000
fee_ppm = 700
[all-liquidity-is-theirs]
chan.max_ratio = 0.00
inbound_base_fee_msat = -128
inbound_fee_ppm = -128
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 100_000
fee_ppm = 5000
[discourage-routing-extreme]
chan.max_ratio = 0.05
inbound_base_fee_msat = -128
inbound_fee_ppm = -32
strategy = static
base_fee_msat = 10_000
fee_ppm = 2500
[proportional]
# 'proportional' can also be used to auto balance (lower fee rate when low remote balance & higher rate when higher remote balance)
# fee_ppm decreases linearly with the channel balance ratio (min_fee_ppm when ratio is 1, max_fee_ppm when ratio is 0)
chan.min_ratio = 0.2
chan.max_ratio = 0.98
strategy = proportional
min_fee_ppm = 8
max_fee_ppm = 160
inbound_base_fee_msat = 0
inbound_fee_ppm = 0
base_fee_msat = 128
min_fee_ppm_delta=16
Discussion
Ask support, I think they have good support.
They have great support... for services that are in their marketplace. Anything you are installing from outside that, you would need to seek assistance from the creator of the software, and it would generally need to be packaged for Start9 to easily side-load it.
