Any bitcoin lightning node runners want a small amount of inbound liquidity? I want to set up a channel for my newly spun up lightning node to play around with it.
It won't cost you any sats, but you will have to put up with my potential fuck ups until I figure out what I'm doing (and maybe even after I figure out what I'm doing).
How much you got? I usually have a minimum of 10 mil sats for my channels
That's more than I'm willing to lose if I screw something up. I was poking around on 1ml dot com and found that most want a minimum of at least 500K.
I was thinking more along the lines of 20-100K range.
Since inbound channels are free, what is the benefit of setting a minimum?
I get not wanting to pay a chain fee to open a 20K sats channel, but I'm willing to spend that money as the cost of learning.
It just allows me to route bigger payments and potentially get more fees than channels that have lower capacity
That makes sense. I know not all software supports muti-path.
Would adding a small channel impede moving larger payments, or is the minimum just a mechanism to make sure you have at least one big inbound channel that can do the heavy lifting?
Hmmm don't think it would impede payments... All my channels are 10 mil and up. I guess my thinking is that I rather have my node use resources that facilitate routing and with lower capacity channels there is less chances for routes if payments are above the channel's capacity
I need some more inbound for my new node. I’ve got a 1M sat minimum though so depends on how small you are looking at.
You don't know how good it makes me to feel that a real Cypherpunk thinks he might fuck up a lightning channel.
I've lost over a million sats doing this.
I allow 100k channels if you want to set up some smaller stuff.
