Great, now I feel a little bit older and wiser!

I still have some doubts.

1.When opening a new channel, both nodes has to provide the same amount of SATS?

  1. For example, if I'm using Phoenix Wallet and I want to create a new channel I just send X sats to my wallet from Coinos per example. Once this channel is open, the 3000 sats fees has been paid. Can I withdraw some of the sats deposited to Coinos again? Or this "payment" has to be done to another node? 🤔

Thanks everyone for the help

  1. no, normally only one node puts up sats, so they are initially only on one side. Unless you open via a special procedure called dual funded channels where both nodes put up sats.
