People were able to send smol amounts of sats to my node with lightning during that main chain fee apocalypse. No channels were lost. I'm impressed. Lightning haters gonna hate, but you go to war with the tools you have, not the ones you wish you had. ⚡⚡⚡⚡
Discussion
the same philosophy should apply to #nostr DMs 👀
Is there any utility in creating lightning channels and all subsequent transactions without broadcasting to the network? Skip the mempool entirely?
For example in extremely high fee environments and with relatively trusted counterparties you could sign transactions and settle when fees come down. Effectively a credit system.
