What’s your sense of the right size?
Are you not finding very large returns to opening additional channels?
I expected to see lots more transactions from opening new channels because of network effects, but it hasn’t really materialized.
maybe for smaller nodes (with few channels) but from a certain point opening new channels does not affect the number of transactions so much.
Now Im trying to find peers that improve my position in the network so I can get to more nodes with less hops. And when I find such nodes Im looking at the fees they have for example from the below picture coingate improves my hop rate and they have low fees so its highly possible to route through them. But if I find a node that has a flat rate of 1000ppm thats a no go.
Do you like to announce your node here? Could do a dual funded channel
Good suggestion! someone else suggested https://lightningnetwork.plus, do you know it or have you used it?
How you would compare all these?
Hi Mate, small channels don't make to much sense believe me (I was starting like you but now Im moving away from those channels below 1.000.000 sats even this number is not enough). Don't make mistakes people did before you :)
And as a new node operator your best friends will be sites like for choosing new peers, buying inbound liquidity analysing who to connect to what fees to set... :
