LQwD announced in 2023 that it was using AI to optimize channel management (link), but provided very few details.

LQwD need to fix that, those channel are super random and almost without traffic, there is something else cooking in LQwD.

Thank you for the information! I'm getting interested in LQwD. It seems that LQwD has not yet settled on a stable business model. According to the news on its website, in recent years, LQwD has explored routing nodes, AI-driven channel management optimization, LSP, and Bitcoin reserves. However, when looking at its financials, the revenue for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years is only 506 CAD and 5553 CAD, respectively, which suggests that it might not be fully prepared for market entry. Additionally, there have been considerable fluctuations in its stock recently, which has also sparked my curiosity.

Well, from my point of view, their node management is pretty bad so I was more incline to see these as a classic speech to pump the bags "We have more channels than anyone in LN", "We reach every corner of the planet with our nodes"; in case you heard something like that... run away from the stock, or better, from fiat ;).

Plot twist: It's only a facade to sneak into LN and get information for some big brother out there.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That’s an interesting perspective. I’ll keep an eye on how LQwD develops.
