my oh my.

you have demonstrated a complete lack of understanding as to how LN works at even a basic level and compound this by acting like an insufferable prick, when all i'm doing is trying to help you because you asked.

the only dead end is this conversation.

It's not about me and not about "earning". A word I did not use but it says a lot about you that that's where your mind goes.

Sats in channels that are a dead end are a waste for the network.

not sure i follow. the channel you own is private, i.e. not for routing. so you use it for spending and receiving, not for earning routing fees. phoenix take a small cut each time you make a transaction for providing the service, which is how they make a profit.

I understand the simplicity of a single channel.

**Buuut** a single channel is a dead end. You need at least 2 channels for sats to have the ability to be moving at all. Otherwise someone is investing in my channel with no return. It's wasted and locked up money.
