Mate keeping things balanced is near in impossible for me. Only way I have found is put your fees high. This stops liquidity draining but the number of routes drops significantly.
I opened a Chanel with alby. 10,000,000 sats. I got the Chanel balanced. I had one it drained all my incoming on that in minutes. So I have left it with all liquidity in my side and since then no routes thru that chanel at all
What I have learned is I have no clue what I’m doing.
I’ve done pretty well with number of routes but need to rebalance to keep things moving. I have increased fees to slow the drain. I just don’t want to mess up my partners. I don’t mind paying the rebalance fees. I see it as pay to play and I’m keeping them in check.
My node has grown a fair bit over the last few weeks and rebalance fees are adding up. I have set lightning terminal auto fee adjust and see how that goes. I just have to control my urge to rebalance manually. My ocd is killing me. I’ve had terminal set for a few weeks but can’t help myself. Must resist
Oh yeah, you’re running a lot more channels than I am. When I rebalance with using your channel, does it cause you any problems? I don’t recall the last time I did, but I’m sure I have in the past. I don’t want to
Mess you up by rebalancing, I assumed it was a good thing if I balance our channel. 🤙🏻
Causes me no issues. Actually saves me doing it
Anyway the fees you see going forward will be auto so just k is it’s not me if they get jacked up
Cool, that what I was thinking. No worries on your fees, as long as my channel partners are happy, I’m cool
with whatever routes I get.
I may look at that auto fee thing if get a couple of more channels open. But I think I’m going back into stacking mode for a little while. I probably won’t open anymore channels this year unless someone force closes me. 🤙🏻
