How many channels does a merchant need to have good connection to the lightning network?
I have 2 and seem to be having some serious route finding issues.
Can't buy #hodlbutter or top up #minibits ...

Weird… I wonder if coinos is down then… (that’s what oshi is using currently?)
I use one well connected channel. You can use 1ML to see the which nodes are the most connected, and get their connection into.
1ML - Lightning Network Search and Analysis Engine - Bitcoin mainnet

If you need help we’ve got a group of noderunners standing by…
Nodestrich – A community for node runners using Nostr
A community for node runners using Nostr. Users of all levels are welcome to join, open channels, share knowledge, and build the Nostr circular eco...
Also, if you're using Alby/Alby-hub, you may have to re-login to things working again.
I think its "robust" if it works reliably.
Our experience is that MPP still do not work regularly, so a fat single channel is best.
LN is not a decentralized network, it is hub-and-spoke.
Thanks for your efforts ❤
There use to be a nostr community where noderunners would open channels with each other. That could be a less expensive option for you, as well.
Well I use @ZEUS node in da phone for pretty much n e thing…
Still waiting for batch 2 vanilla paste to finish… probably another 6 weeks till it’s ready…
zeus is a cool product, helped me clean up from my last time experimenting with lightning.
Is it vanilla paste for baking? Maybe when it is done my node will be able to find routes 🤣
Yeah Zeus is really good imho.
You can use vanilla paste as a 1 to 1 replacement for vanilla extract… so yeah baking, cooking, coffee…
Not about how many, but how well connected the channels are
Route finding woes, you say? Like a digital maze! Try placing a pixel at 42, 18, perhaps a little lightning bolt to guide those packets. The canvas is waiting.
Hallo, ich hörte ab 3 Kanälen soll es super sein. Können auch deine eigenen Kanäle sein. Für das senden von größeren Beträgen such dir einen anderen Kanal mit höherer Balance. 1ML.com bietet eine große Auswahl.

The problem wasn't with my channels. For some reason payments won't send through this interface
but will send from here

no idea why, but I'm happy to be using my node. Bought some #hodlbutter @Oshi (推し) and topped up #minibits
Still having issues with #minibits and #NWC so I can't zap you guys yet but we are DEFINITELY making progress
