That sounds right. I don't like this abstraction they use in pheonix. It is too easy to make a mistake with fees. I'd rather the tx fail than create a new utxo by default. Maybe i could find a better home for the sats.

Breeze fee was 890 sats to send, phoenix open channel fee was 14000 sats..

Da fukk

I can only guess that phoenix filled up your abacus before opening a channel, so the utxo size is the remaining after filling up your preexisting channel.

You have the preimage, that means the all amount was sent to Phoenix (you wouldn't have the preimage otherwise). Please contact their support and involve us if needed.

That's weird

I have not liked my lightning experience overall. There are some awesome things being built with lightning, but I wish it was easier to self host. My experience with integrated lightning in fountain has been great. For now I'm sticking to using custodial wallets and not keeping too much money in there.

My initial reaction when trying to figure out lightning was, this will never be easy to self host and I hope it fails so a better layer 2 could be built. Maybe I listened to podcasts that were too technical. I still kind of want it to fail despite the cool stuff being built.
