What kind of liquidity issues, if any, have you experienced while developing Fountain?
A big issue has been podcasters setting up to receive sats to a personal node on something like Umbrel and then running out of inbound liquidity.
If the first time your listeners try boosting your show the payment fails because of a lack of liquidity it's a bad experience that really puts people off.
Even some of the more experienced bitcoin podcasts are constantly having issues with their nodes running out (I don't think they were expecting the volumes!)

Do podcasters have the option to purchase channels from your node? Or what kind of solutions have you explored?

How fat do you think the channels need to be?
