Noob question…can you change a #lightning channel type from private to public? Trying to attach my node to nostr:npub19tcpurtt6xulhw0r6sc404j9jraj0h8me2lzs7z2tqewz7l0hpas59nlea but it’s saying it needs to see at least one channel on the graph first and both channels on that node are private. That’s the only thing I think I’ve done different between my two nodes.

No you cannot change after channel open. It has to be set at the time of opening.

So best bet is close it and reopen? Luckily it’s with myself so no harm, no foul lol.

Yes. Reopen.

I did and that worked. I guess I could’ve just opened a channel back to myself publicly and left the other open as well. But I wanted to try closing a channel as well. Thanks!
