Pickhardt Payments will supercharge the Lightning Network 🧵

cryptocoin

Very good one!

Let's not forget also about another Pickhardt research about the valve system:
[The power of valves for better flow control, improved reliability & lower expected payment failure rates on the Lightning Network](https://blog.bitmex.com/the-power-of-htlc_maximum_msat-as-a-control-valve-for-better-flow-control-improved-reliability-and-lower-expected-payment-failure-rates-on-the-lightning-network/)

That I also talk about in [my article experimenting with LN node fees](https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-routing-fees-experiment) (even before Rene published his article), where I got the same conclusion: a use of min/max HTLC system to open/close valves of your LN channels is much efficient than excessive rebalancing and excessive use of high fees.
