Just paid 66k sats to open 17 channels.

Is that smart or dumb? Where on the chart am I?

Batch open?

Yes. I used to do it once a month or so, to reopen force closed channels and add some new nodes. Was a while ago though.

Very impressive

It was funner when doing batch opens on 1 sat/vB.

Depends what next week's fees are like.

Next week there be dragons. Or cats, so that I heard.

What's the purpose of so many channels? Are you some kind of uncle jim to a whole lot of smaller nodes that route through you to the wider network?

Routing node indeed. It can be uncle Jim for incoming, but outgoing channels should have at least some traffic. I'll do spring cleaning once or twice a year to close channels I opened that don't move. I don't close incoming channels, unless offline for a long time.

Sounds like big enough brain to me.

Doesn’t sound like that much. What you doing with so many channels?
