is the price for opening a channel fixed? doesn't it vary with the number of available channels?
Discussion
oh wait yes
for every channel that needs to be opened you pay a minimum of 3k sats +1% of fees
so it's a good idea to topup your wallet with a big fat stack at first, then send 50% back to another wallet of yours
this creates enough inbound liquidity to last for a good while
it all depends on your own estimate of how much you're planning to earn / receive wrt how many big channels you want to open
i think.
