Ufff. Excellent, and very clearly worded, guide. Plus, the linked articles deepen the knowledge with further analogies. Thanks for your work!

I just set up Alby Hub and I've been trying to wrap my head around the fee to open my first channel. Now it makes more sense.

Though, it seems as though the price fluctuates and that is something I'm still learning about. Another acquaintance sent me to mempool.space for that. There is always more to learn.
