Whoa I’m starting to route more Lightning payments through my node, this is awesome! I might have to read up on fees and rebalancing sooner than I thought

What is rebalancing?
If too many flow sats flow one way through a channel you have to rebalance it. Basically sending sats from one channel to another to even it out. I think….🤔
What are the consequences if you don't rebalance?
You won’t be able to send or receive sats
So you lose the Bitcoin that you locked in?
You don’t lose it at all. It’s just on another channel and you have to rebalance so it ends up back on yours more or less. When someone ends through your channel their bitcoin is on yours. If that makes sense
