You mean if I want to have bigger channels? Good idea but I’ll start low since I just want to learn and not burn too many sats.

Question is just how low to start without being useless. I think 0.1 bitcoin is okay 👀

.25 might be overkill, depending on how you use it.

Why overkill? I think if you want to route payments, your channels can’t be too big.

I think I’ll go with following channel allocations: 3x5m+2x4m+2m

It's always a trade off, but... with those small amount (for a routing node), maybe using the "dual" from https://lightningnetwork.plus/swaps to coordinate and double the size.

But before that... which implementation of LN are you going to use? are you going to have a clearnet only connection, Tor... or both?

What are your objective? stack sats (routing fee)? or using to develop something on top of that?.

oh, looks interesting, thanks! 👀

which implementation of LN are you going to use?

probably LND as I am the most familiar with it

are you going to have a clearnet only connection, Tor... or both?

definitely clearnet and maybe tor but not sure I'll need it

What are your objective?

just experience for now
