I just leave my fees at one sat

How often do you get transactions?

I think that's for routing. Like you get paid when your peers route through you. Lowers the fees the more likely your node will get used. Also capacity is considered . I'll open a channel to you to make your node more usable

Here is the current fee list. I think this is super low.

Another thing, I added Funding to a Channel and 310,204 sats is stuck in a Pending Block Confirmations state and I think I am out of money because its been a few days. I closed the channel today, and this still shows

Opening and closing channels takes on chain fees. Most choose low fees (sometimes its auto set by software) to save money so It can take hours or days to complete .

Is this routing?

If you can send and receive you should be good. I don't know terms like PPM. But my setup works.

Lightning nodes are costly to run. Very difficult to earn alpha from fees when you take into account rebalancing fees and channel opens/closes.

Yeah. this setup looking pretty terrible. I do not recommend anyone do this
