242 sats \ 5 replies \ @SimpleStacker 11h \ on: Route Not Found lightning
I've also sometimes had trouble finding routes through SN's node. Sometimes I can only find a route if I increase the max fee to something like 100+.
One thing I noticed about SN is that sats are always flowing out of it.
On my public LN node, as soon as I put sats on the SN side of the channel, it almost immediately gets routed back to my side and onto some other destination.
My hypothesis is that there's a huge demand for liquidity to move sats out of or through SN. Thus, channels are setting high fees for the usage of those channels. The low fee ones quickly get exhausted (as my public channel always does.)
Maybe @k00b or @ek can comment. It's definitely a pattern that i've noticed.
Thanks, that's sort of what I imagined was happening, but I'm still new to managing a lightning node.

I am certainly thinking of raising the fee, and i imagine many other channels have done so after noticing how quickly their liquidity gets used.
