Ok, it looks like it’s opening for 100k sats, so let’s see what happens. Happy to increase that to sizable channel once I figure out what is going on with my node. Appreciate it brother! 🤙
Okay, I just added you as a peer. You can find my node ID (Tor address) here and try opening a channel. It will have to be less than the total amount in your on-chain wallet to leave sats available for channel opening and closing fees. This is a good time to open since mempool fees are low. Make sure you manually set the fee rate to avoid overpaying.

Awesome! Good first start. I see the channel. 🙌
You should probably also connect to @lightningwatch on Telegram, it’s a bot that keeps an eye on your node and alerts you of downtime. It was created by #nostr user nostr:npub10rrv9ky5fwzf4s8cylqe2pn5jpxlslxy7svkmskjw5ks5yw67x5qvz4zhg also in the #nodestrich group. 
So dumb question…I entered 100k and I see the capacity as 100k, but why is the remote balance less? Do I need to account for the fee/channel open-close when calculating the liquidity I want?
The capacity is the initial channel size but it also has to leave a reserve on both sides to cover closing fees. The good news is, we’re already routing! Make sure to set a node name so it isn’t just your pubkey.
