That's more than I'm willing to lose if I screw something up. I was poking around on 1ml dot com and found that most want a minimum of at least 500K.
I was thinking more along the lines of 20-100K range.
Since inbound channels are free, what is the benefit of setting a minimum?
I get not wanting to pay a chain fee to open a 20K sats channel, but I'm willing to spend that money as the cost of learning.
It just allows me to route bigger payments and potentially get more fees than channels that have lower capacity
That makes sense. I know not all software supports muti-path.
Would adding a small channel impede moving larger payments, or is the minimum just a mechanism to make sure you have at least one big inbound channel that can do the heavy lifting?
Hmmm don't think it would impede payments... All my channels are 10 mil and up. I guess my thinking is that I rather have my node use resources that facilitate routing and with lower capacity channels there is less chances for routes if payments are above the channel's capacity
