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?

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.
