I noticed a pretty big price difference when renting inbound LN channels by providers such as Megalithic and LNBIG.
Same inbound ~1.5M sats channel, but Megalithic asks for around 20,000 sats while LNBig asks for around 3,500 sats, that’s almost a 5-6× difference.
Is it because Megalithic is more of a reputable and premium channel provider? while LNBig is more temporary or disposable?
How do people actually decide pricing in this market?
Just make an outbound and make a swap with boltz.
Do you mean opening a channel myself to a node instead of purchasing inbound liquidity?
Yeah, I can do that, but I was just curious about the rationale behind the pricing differences.
Prices are made stable by a large market. These markets aren't very large so people make shit up as long as they can get away with it.
