$7k liquidity for $10? Lightning isn’t just fast, it’s redefining what ‘cheap’ payments even mean. ⚡💸

I have been having the same two channels for ages now - and unless you stuff 'em up, you can't pay out. And...that is my wallet is basically receipt only. The idea of lightning is neat, but the cost of entry is not to be underestimated. You can't just immediately get started unless you pick a non-custodial option... Which is unfortunate, because everything aside this aspect is neat.

I think you should close those channels then and connect to our Rails cluster for better reachability. It worked out great for Bitcoin Amsterdam. https://amboss.tech/rails/stats

you mean without the routing fees of actually receiving $7k of payments?

You could open a funded channel to your choice of well-connected nodes. Then you will have outgoing liquidity too.
