Opening Channels Requests

I recommend you check out lightningnetwork.plus
Someone here recommended it back in July and I’ve gotten a lot of good channels there.
You don’t want to open channels to each other. It’s pointless.

@jerrybu sure what’s your node id? I’ll open to you for 1M when you post it.
Here’s mine - 037b6d276f7a3c5835b43d0e1d7c2204d4344feed775d865643c15f1ce19f5e952@rkkx445cvdx4cn64ccllcqtqb6jz4slhcas4rfvtqaeijuas5n4txwqd.onion:9735

Sorry for the late reply. That was a really old post. I have to figure out my power backup before I open anything new. Had a bad LN loss a number of weeks ago.

@martypb here’s mine

Hi,

Thanks for your open channel. I opened 1M sats back to you.

Cheers,

Ok, I just “open channel” with You - 500K.
My lightning node is: 03cc8003786ec763aec9087171ac399c670c95f48b1b67b1682eb9826b640b4a1a@towl4lfafmn6slh4zwpyubmmfxydbficsyaubfp2qoh4adcvnkbqpoqd.onion:9735

I can join :slight_smile:

I opened a 500K channel with you! AHH what now :joy:

I asked myslef the same question :slight_smile:

Once your channel is open, you can wait and see if you get any routing, but you’ll need multiple channels and you’ll need both inbound and outbound liquidity. Right now, @JesseJ probably has 500k sats on his side of the channel and @climbwave probably has zero sats - so the only way a payment could flow would be from @JesseJ’s node to @climbwave’s node

I suggest opening 1 or 2 channels with big nodes (find your favorite wallet’s node, or there are other fun ones you can find) and open up some triangles or rings with groups of nodes so the sats can flow around. If you have a triangle with 3 nodes, you can rebalance your channels so they have liquidity on both sides.

You might also find that 500,000 is a bit small, most people recommend at least 2,000,000 per channel.

Hi,

I have just brought up my node and i am really excited about it. I would like to open channels in and out. For the prople who are interested:

Let the network grow. I will also open channels to you!!!

Just started out last week – slowly building out my node. I’m aiming for 100% uptime and getting my node more connected. Feel free to open up a channel to me at:

02e3f3cac13012977142dda7fd8450bf87fe45bf4447901f1cadef7763d0ad6a59@amkptdrgdjlhfbxbbtjbrpn662qvkkjsxbtaz76qxrotqc7sc3ynofqd.onion:9735

Looking forward to be more connected…

Thank You for help @lightningpleb.

I did open 2M sats with ACINQ - 03864ef025fde8fb587d989186ce6a4a186895ee44a926bfc370e2c366597a3f8f@34.239.230.56:9735
and second channel of 500K sats with @JesseJ

Still have 500K to use. I will goes to this triangles :slight_smile:

In the meantime when collect more sats then will open more channels. I do see that on the web page https://explorer.acinq.co/ it’s plenty channel to choose. I guess will pick some more.

Any advise really welcome. Thank You!!!

So now I should open a channel of 500K with @climbwave, @lightningpleb ? :innocent::face_with_monocle:

ACINQ looks awesome keen to open some channels with some of my favourites in the space.

Hi,
for all those seeking remote balance…
Have you checked (@Officient already posted that link back in Agust) LightningNetwork+? This really seems to be of big help, especially for starters.

Please help me by opening a channel here. I will reciprocate. Thanks!
