Hope you well, it will be nice to see a report about this in the next couple of months. Are you using some re-balance technique? handle price and htlc max/min?
The idea is to make profits? or are you going to set price to 0?
I think you can explain a little more about the condition of the experiment, to set the scope more clearly. But hey! good luck!
I'm gonna set my fees to 0 base / 0.01 rate, but surely lndg will take them down.
I don't really think I'll be in profit this time next year by running this.

It was just recommendation to do a better experiment :) don't worry, for example now we know that you are using LNDg to manage the node. In my experience LNDg with a heavy strategy of re-balance doesn't work well with Tor network use.
I think this small channels could be useful when more people use MPP/AMP or the purchase power of bitcoin rise, so keep an eye on those external force.

That's my idea actually, as of now small channels are not viable, but they might be in the future, counting on that Bitcoin's value rises ad that people start using AMP/MMP to make payments.
About heavy rebalance strategy, you're right, it doesn't work that well, but the more channels I have, the better it works.
Also the payments are doing the lords work here and help me rebalance the channels themselves since the channels are small anyways.

Let's help with your experiment with a small channel.
