Awesome! Good first start. I see the channel. 🙌

You should probably also connect to @lightningwatch on Telegram, it’s a bot that keeps an eye on your node and alerts you of downtime. It was created by #nostr user nostr:npub10rrv9ky5fwzf4s8cylqe2pn5jpxlslxy7svkmskjw5ks5yw67x5qvz4zhg also in the #nodestrich group.

So dumb question…I entered 100k and I see the capacity as 100k, but why is the remote balance less? Do I need to account for the fee/channel open-close when calculating the liquidity I want?

The capacity is the initial channel size but it also has to leave a reserve on both sides to cover closing fees. The good news is, we’re already routing! Make sure to set a node name so it isn’t just your pubkey.

LMAO wrong image.

Your channel routed its first 500 sats an hour ago! ⚡️

Haha sadly that was me testing it… But soon!

Garlic!
