Lightning noderunners, how are you managing channel openings in response to sustained, high fees? #asknostr
A) Pressed pause, hoping for a return to lower fees.
B) Still opening, but with greater scrutiny of channel partners.
C) YOLO FULL STEAM AHEAD
D) Other (write in)
A
A for now. Focusing more on rebalancing techniques at the moment
PRESSED PAUSE WHILE PRAYING NOT TO HAVE TOO MANY CHANNELS FORCE CLOSED ON ME
THIS BOT IS BRUTAL: nostr:npub169n9eaf0t20j0nefwqlqtnqcpsym22k2nw6e3tevtrrru4et7wrsh5w47v
Oof. First time seeing this. Max pain.
Extremely high!
i havent opened a new channel in a while.
if i wanted/needed one, the fees would have little bearing as once 2 to 3 lightning transactions are made using it, its hit ROI vs an onchain transaction
A i have sats waiting for channels to be opened when fees come down.
My latest channel open will process when fees return to 50 s/vB. Patiently waiting
LN needs to grow up more to figure out where liquidity is actually needed. right now it seems like most big providers are well connected between each other. the nature of a mature network is far from being forecasted
I'm OK with my current channels
A
A)
I'm due to open a channel and I'll be waiting until fees drop below 50 sats/vB.
I've so far somehow managed to avoid forced channel closes with fees this high.
D) Opening channels only if selling liquidity
Also, pausing new opening until more application will build on top of lightning, like Nostr zapping
