I found a great link. You know what this needs? A little slop. You know what would make it better? A lotta slop.

I'm much more likely to zap a bare link than one with slop. The only thing that's better than a bare link is a human being reasoning through the content found at the link, surfacing what's notable/relevant/interesting from their PoV.

Eclair #3248 starts prioritizing private channels over public ones when forwarding HTLCs, if both options are available. This keeps more liquidity available in public channels, which are visible to the network. When two channels have the same visibility, Eclair now prioritizes the channel with the smaller balance

Why would Eclair do this? I think people who have private channels don’t want their liquidity to be used.

You agree with this PR???

Not sure, but I think they refer to the option to make like a private routing BETWEEN known Acinq users, I mean 2 phoenix nodes do not need to make a round travel of their sats through other public nodes if they are already linked to the same central Acinq node.

And that is a good thing, because public routes will be more expensive for the users and also to maintain.

Consider this option same like using a LNbits with multiple users.

Something like that tried Anton Kumadaroski (SBW wallet dev) few years ago. I can't find his video demo anymore, but was an interesting concept of "private routing".

I think private channels don’t act as routers. They’re just the start/end of a route. Am I wrong?

reply

yes, but in this case I think they refer to something else, to make more efficient routing.

When relaying payments, we want to select private channels first and keep as much liquidity available as possible in public channels, to ensure that we don't send a channel_update that would otherwise disable the public channel (and thus make the private channels also unusable since they aren't visible by path-finding algorithms) or limit the htlc_maximum_msat of this public channel (which also indirectly applies to private channels).

Yeah making it more efficient by using your unannounced channel to route a payment. This seems to limit the functionality of a private channel

reply

I'm still not 100% sure if that's actually it.

reply

No, I think you understand it wrong. They will not use your private channel to route other payments.
But will make private payments between 2 acinq peers to go straight between them. Is not any limitation, you can still make payments as usual.
You never used a LNbits? It would be the same as sending between 2 LNbits users.
So you will be able to send phoenix to phoenix user even with 0 fees.

One of my arguments for Bitcoin that I gave to my dad (who works in tradfi) is that Bitcoin democratizes access to financial software. Anyone can jump in and work on payments rails. You don't need to have some kind of agreement or connection with a bank.

Hmm maybe you can try getting more sun exposure to help decalcify the pineal gland and therefore improve creativity flow. Another thing i do for clarity improvement is enemas because in order to absorb and retain positive information we must have a clean meat vehicle.

displacement of families with kids in the middle east (israeli ones too) is planned just in time for the harvest season of sacrifice; peak dates are around 4/20 - 5/1, from Hitler's birthday to May Day; looks like the chaos is just getting started;

chaos & confusion are engineered to make kid-snatching easier; this happens with forced Latin migration, Maui fires, trips to Disneyland, etc... as bodies are herded from one bunker/border/war theater to another, confusion intensifies;

Just saying life in 1776 is vastly different than life in 2026.

Taxes suck but you could always run to Dubai like other rich people do to avoid taxes or live off grid and fend for yourself which a lot of people did in 1776.

Most people just lived to survive. Worked on the farm just to eat and then died.
