Could be any number of things but also could be a bug on SN’s side. The HTLC could’ve been stuck between a hop

really fast, only today 5 In the last 5-6 days from 55 channels I have now only 30 This shit is going crazy.

If the node will have to shut it down, how I would use the lnurl-auth? Is there another way? I have another LN wallets to sign, Blixt SBW but not sure how I can do to keep same account on SN.

I suppose there is an implicit expectation that a RFR is the same rate that anybody can get. I guess I was excluding that. You're right -- for now. Follow up, rhetorical, question: If the network gets larger, and a node can use their capital to create 2% yield opportunities, could they securitize that product, then sell it at a different discount rate (after they have committed their own capital?). Eg. I have 1.94 BTC, I sell a channel at a 2% APY, could I borrow against that, at a rate better than 2%, say 1%, and instantly pocket the difference while getting capital to sell another channel at 2%? If so, that 1% will be a RFR that everybody could access. Admittedly, probably not, because we're back to counter-party-risk territory.

If you bin this by amount of capital, does it change? Like, "Most people with under 0.1 BTC should be glad if they can break even. If you have over 3 BTC, it gets more realistic to expect something closer to the RFR"

I'm making up the 0.1 and 3 numbers, but is there a statement like that, that holds?

If i understand correctly what the 2% is referring to is the channels on Amboss.space marketplace where you get the money up front, the APY doesent come from the fees and the payments you route through a channel over time afaik because the channel fee is set to 0. so its a different model than the traditional one.

here is the quote

In the fiat world there is the so called "risk-free rate". It is supposed to be what the system rewards you for no consumerism and no investment. Hardline-fiat-shills would say that this rate is intrinsic to ownership. They regard government bonds as this risk free rate because there is nothing with lower risk than the monetary system itself - no stock, no company bond, no nothing. Of course this is and always was below the inflation rate (in the best years maybe equal to inflation, maybe).

The question is if in the Bitcoin has a risk-free rate too. There must be a value to no consumerism and providing liquidity. There must be an intrinsic value to this because you are doing something for the community - the question just is where this is.

And the answer is probably what can be earned with low effort in the Lightning Network. They estimate from their data that it is about 2% or maybe lower.

What would make it go lower?
