Just moved some sats from WoS into Phoenix and even though I had adequate inbound capacity for the payment Phoenix still took 3k sats and opened a new channel instead of using the existing channel. Not too happy about that.
Discussion
Oh shit! Imma be waching this because im will be doing the same soon
Similar thing happened to me. Moved 15k sats over and it opened a new channel and charged the 3k sat fee when I had 3 opened with a bunch of capacity 🤦♂️
Yea that’s insane.
Sounds like you had on the fly channel creation turned on.
It’s with your feet I guess
So you have to open 2 channels.
One a lightning transaction
And one on-chain transaction
Like that you can move in and out
Had similar happen, there should at least be a confirm screen explaining a channel open needs to happen and show the fees. 🤷🏽♂️
💯 I’ve used Breez for longer than Phoenix and never had this issue. Breez does a good job of that and when you create an invoice it shows you how much you can receive before it requires a new channel.
Mmm... That's weird. Didn't Phoenix indicate that a new channel will be opened for the payment and that a 3k sats fee (minimum or 1%) is required?
I'm not currently using it (yet), but if I remember correctly, that's how I read it.
The initial setup shows you that, yes. After that it doesn’t warn you. But I’ve been sending and receiving for several weeks and the channel I initially opened when I setup the wallet is active and had adequate inbound capacity to receive the payment.
Mmh ... really strange!
So maybe Breez is the better choice? 🤔
Although I've often read that Phoenix is highly recommend.
They’re both good. I have just used Breez more and know what to expect with it. I like it’s features more but Phoenix is a good wallet. I found this on their website so maybe the incoming payment was larger than the amount I could actually receive even though it looked like I had enough inbound. 
Thx, good to know!
I found that on their page. Atm "Sending LN payments" (regarding to the Mempool and the Noderunner situation) could be quite expensive 🤔!
Does Breez have similar fees for payments?
