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

In the logs, when I try to open a 540K sats channel, I see

'FailedToOpenChannel. 'received funding error from [private details from my node] err=chan size of 0.00540000 BTC is below min chan size of 0.01000000 BTC'

So, I guess the minimum channel size must be 1M sats.

1M minimum channel size confirmed, as I was able to open a channel with that amount. It must have been set recently as I can see that the small channels are in the 10K range.

Minimum channel size should be a default metric in all lightning applications that facilitate the opening of channels. AlbyHub does this! ThunderHub doesn't. Only LightningNetwork, plus, bothers to try giving this data. Amboss and 1ML don't. Something basic is being missed out here by these guys

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’.
