I felt spending even 1 Satoshi to post was not HODLing and was like spending a piece of Manhattan real estate

Haha we've all been there

edit: I see you even already attached a wallet, nice

Thanks, am going all in on exploring MoE in 2025 :)

I was finding it difficult to do lightning channel management a few years back, so I abandoned LN, except for having very few sats in custodial LN wallets. I feel like some tools like AlbyHub have made this a lot easier nowadays. It’s still a pain, but less of a pain than in the past, haha.

I use phoenixd and it's also pretty good. You don't have to manage channels etc. but you pay for that convenience with fees.

I think I'll soon run a LND node with a private channel to SN again for those sweet zero-fee payments from and to SN.

In order to open a private channel with SN, where can I find the channel details?

Does SN have a minimum channel size? Is it 1M sats? Where can I check it on ThunderHub/LightningTerminal? Thanks!

I dont think so, but @k00b can tell us.

According to LighningNetwork.plus, it is 10M Sats. But this is probably mistaken as I can see a bunch of channels with lower liquidity than that.

I am certain that is not accurate. If you just check the Amboss link below, it looks like the smallest channel is a bit less than 17k sats

I can only open a channel with SN to increase spending capacity via Alby Hub using an on-chain balance. I cannot open a channel to increase receiving capacity using Alby Hub through SN. The only options I get are Megalith, Zeus, and other LSPs. When I dabbled with LND and Thunderhub a few years back, there was a way to rebalance lightning channels. However, I cannot find a way to do that using Alby Hub. I remember why I stopped working with lightning a few years ago. The complexity can be overwhelming. If I have to install ThunderHub, LNDG, or something like that, I will be back to square one.

Sorry for not replying earlier, but you cannot request liquidity from us since we are not a liquidity service provider (yet). To have inbound liquidity in your SN channel, you can push sats to SN by sending sats to yourself using another lightning wallet or to an onchain address ("swap out") with a service like boltz.exchange.

There's probably a way using lncli to pay a circular route to your own node to rebalance channels but using the method above worked well enough for me so far. I usually used an invoice from my Phoenix wallet.

Thanks, was able to balance the channel after performing a ’loop out’.
