41 sats \ 8 replies \ @DesertDave OP 11 Dec \ parent \ on: Best nodes to connect with for private routing from my alby hub to Stacker News bitcoin_beginners
I found the guide. This is exactly what I tried to do. And it didn't open because it said 1 mil sats was the minimum. It wasn't a 1 million sat minimum for you?
Interesting. My channel with Stacker.News is <1 mil sats.
If you go to their Amboss page, you can see that a channel with 200k sats was opened just 20 days ago.
Are you sure the channel opening failed because of a minimum capacity requirement? I wonder if it was some other issue.
reply
No, but maybe they changed it. I don't know much about how this stuff works.
Is the difference public vs private?
reply
I wouldn't think so but I have no idea. I am also new and learning. And I don't really have a desire to know it all. I just want to be able to use my node with stacker and send zaps. Thanks for your suggestion.
reply
I've had very little success making channels to most other nodes I've tried.
reply
I just opened one that appears to be directly connected to stacker, and its large with what looks like low fees and it worked with only 300,000 sats. We will see. I feel so stupid when working on this stuff.

I know what you mean. I have no idea why things work sometimes but not others.

Yeah. And honestly i have a really hard time learning from many guides as there is often something slightly different and then I get stuck. I am someone who best learns by doing. And slowly it starts to make more sense. I have tried a node a few times in the past and gave up. This time i have a real reason to get it working which is cool. Slowly I am learning.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
