No, no need to empty the channel before doing a splicing in or out.

you can't do that. The shrinking will fail.
The level of water must lower than the new size of the glass.
But what you can do is a swap out into onchain first of the sats from that channel you want to shrink or rebalance with another channel you have, then do the shrinking.
But again, shrinking is quite dumb.

Preparing a new guide for LN liquidity. Seems that many new users still don't understand how private LN liquidity can be managed properly and what type of channels should use.

No swaps are swaps and splicing is splicing.
Swaps are about liquidity, have to do only when you want to move sats out of a channel, or refill an empty channel, without any resize of the channel.
Splicing is about sizing, making bigger or smaller a channel size, without any moving of sats in/out of that channel.
Think about this:
- swaps: a glass of water that you drink it and refill it. The glass remain the same only the content is changing.
- splicing: a small glass of water, that you change it for a bigger one with the same amount of water in it. Shrinking of a channel doesn't make too much sense, you always want a bigger glass... but yes is possible to shrink a channel too.
ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS.

swap is just a refill/empty for a LN channel, without a resize of the channel.
splicing is expanding or shrinking the size of a channel.
Are not the same and should be used in different occasions.
Splicing have the same costs of opening/closing a LN channel, where swaps have different fees charged by the swap provider.
Splicing is a good thing and I hope we will have it also on LND soon.
Sometimes, if your channel it gets filled quickly and you foresee in near future more incoming payments, then is good to expand the same channel, and not being forced to close it and open a bigger one.
much better than tailscale.
Tailscale is just a private VPN, but with wireguard you can go public and have the same and better security and privacy.
If you do not run services that you want them public, on that node, you don't need wireguard, tailscale is enough.
But if you run a lnbits, btcpay or something like that you want to be accessed publicly, then wireguard is much better.
it doesn't matter. I will never plead guilty of something I didn't do it.
Then ask yourself: why somebody without any balls should be pardoned?
I will understand a pardon if they were accused and didn't plead anything and wasn't a fair trial.
But if they plead guilty, what are you going to pardon? A guilty man? Then is all a theater... as it is in fact.
I think all those people virtue signaling "free samourai" do not want to see the ridiculousness of this situation. But what should I expect? Almost all bitcoiners are fucking pussies statists that will kiss the state hand in an instant.
cowardice and stupidity. Accusing yourself of something you are not guilty is the most stupid thing ever.
Where is the crime? No crime. So you declare yourself of something imaginary.
These are the so called "freedom fighters"? Cowards?
LOL even a real samourai will do sepuku and die in honor, but not declare themselves guilty of something imaginary.
And that's why I a more inclined to think that this was all along a state manipulation and they were patsies.
No matter how much material will be written about this case, it won't matter.
THEY PLEAD GUILTY.
What does this means? Is simple:
- they were all along some peons played by the state and now will serve some months just as a facade and after that will just disappear and nobody will know anymore about them. Remember the Anom case...
- or they were just losers and railroaded, playing the "guilty card" even that they didn't do any real crime. Also they were played by the lawyers and they lost the case like losers.
In the end all that matter is in this:
So where is the crime? Nowhere... They didn't commit any crime. Yet they still plead guilty like losers (aka bargaining with the state).
GAME OVER.

I don't have a Lightning node,
Zeus and Phoenix are LN nodes.
I haven't read or seen any tutorials about this wallet before.
That's because you are not reading my guides and what am I posting every fucking day here on SN :)
He plead guilty. Game over.
The worst card to play. Before that you could do many other things, but never plead. Pleading means bargaining. And that says a lot about this case... remember the Anom case too.

I have a Rizful node with a single private channel for about a year now and never failed or closed my channel. Yes, the fees are a bit high, but is the price to use such a good service for free and no -KYC. Those servers do not run for free...
As a decoy node is perfect and I use that phat channnel also for moving/swaping amounts when I need it temporary out of my self-custodial wallets.
I use many other custodial services, but with really small amounts and mostly testing stuff.
And now with Zeus supporting cashu, you practically can add multiple mints and play with those.
Instead of Speed, look into Rizful (NWC account or their node option). I prefer the node one.
Avoid WoS as much as you can.
Another nice simple one could be SatsMobi or LNVoltz. LNVoltz is a community LNbits account.
Also you could use Shock Wallet, the custodial one, if you do not want to run your own Lightning Pub behind it.
But keep in mind: these are temporary solutions, do not use them as your personal wallets.
