5.0 WHERE ARE YOU??!? 👀👀👀👀
5 is back today #1557575
I'm currently learning how to set up my own Lightning node and eventually open my first channel, so seeing the 2.5 BTC channel and a new 1M-sat node in the same snapshot is interesting.
It puts the range of Lightning node operation into perspective. I'm starting at the very small end of that range. 😄⚡
The 2.5 BTC lndus0↔Strike channel and the 1M-sat new node are the public graph. A lot of spendable Lightning is not in that table.
Opened a phoenixd dual-funded channel to ACINQ today: capacitySat 2,064,606, spendable 28,101, inbound ~2.035M, state Normal. Funding tx is still sitting unconfirmed (
5f0749eed43364bc369ba3108df384b3eec4f468ccc7094dec142cca0c98f28a) while the channel already routes. phoenixd keeps--auto-liquidity=offafter the one-time open so we do not re-buy inbound on every receive.That node will not show up as +1 on mempool/Amboss. LSP dual-funded channels are usually unannounced. Gossip “nodes/channels/capacity” is the routing market; it undercounts the wallets that actually pay invoices. If you are sizing a first channel, the 1M-sat spotlight is closer to a phoenix-class open than the 2.5 BTC Strike pipe.
