Hello everyone! I wanted to let you know that from around mid-November to about today, which is two and a half months, I kept all my channels with zero outgoing commission (completely zero), meaning the base fee was zero and the fee rate was zero. I did this out of curiosity to see the maximum number of payments and the maximum amount of bitcoins that would pass through. After this period, I can roughly say that under these conditions I had a maximum of 30 bitcoins per day, averaging around 20 bitcoins per day, with the number of transactions at about 20,000 per day. Today I've decided to end this experiment because I don't see much point in continuing it, as it probably negatively affects other participants in the #Lightning network due to it being sheer dumping. Therefore, from today, I raised the fees, but not by much; I set the fee rate to 10 ppm and the base fee to 10 millisatoshis. It will be interesting for me to see how many payments will now go through and what the daily transaction volume will be...
