nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm just curious, what's the reasoning behind the min 10 million sats policy for opening a channel to your node? That's a lot of sats 😄

Noobs make node unreliable

Unbalanced channels and force closes?

Yep and stuck htlc, slower pathfinding

Exactly. Too many shity public nodes with low liquidity and maintenance.

Noobs should just run private nodes, with private small channels to these LSPs. That way will not affect the good routing.

But noobs nowadays don't know that they can just run private nodes (Zeus, Blixt, Electrum, Phoenix, Breez, Mutiny, Nayuta), perfectly for their personal use of LN.

There's no need to run a public node just to be able to pay for a beer, in a self-custodial way.
