Why 10-20min? I would do that on weekends and be ready to wait for ~24h, to save on tx fees.

Well.. not everyone knows what a dual-funding channels is and how to open it.. especially without a node and/or terminal access.

Just found [this](https://www.lightningnode.info/advanced-tools/balancedchannelcreation)... basically the same process

Dual funding channel, why waste time into finding other options?

**Assumptions:**
- both nodes have enough liquidity available
- both peers have high level of trust
- both peers will participate with 50% when opening the channel

**Before Starting:**
- define total channel amounts 
- define the peer1 that will open the channel
- define the peer2 that will send back 50% of the total channel capacity


**Done in few simple steps:**
- Find peer2 node `pubkey`
- check fees rate on the [mempool.space](https://mempool.space)
