To all the node runners out there i totally recommend this underrated video interview with carsten otto.

it will help you to route more and so contribute more to the lightning network.

Take some time and watch it. ✌️

nostr:npub12n4hxnynwh6qf76vq6tr3skasuxr9wqahzevr5m05j44z83k076smxsnq5 any updates on that matter? Or would you say that your insights in that video are still up to date? #lightning

I don't know, I should watch it again :) A recent thought: smaller channels aren't worth it most of the time, I increased the minimum to 10M for my node. Larger channels are more reliable and attract more routing, cost less, ...

Alright, thanks. I was asking as you explicitly suggested the interviewer to do a follow up interview a year later...

Looking at the growth of the lightning network: how long, do you think, will it take until you call channels of 10M "smaller channels"? 😜

i tend to agree, but i still have some smaller channels around to 3mio sats which performs better and route way more than some of my 10mio+ channels.
