Ask Node Runners: What is the longest lived LN channel you have?
276 sats \ 12 comments \ @DarthCoin 10 Apr lightning
I am asking only about PUBLIC routing channels, not private. And not the ones with your own other nodes, but with other public peers.
Bonus question: do you know a tool where we can find the longest lived LN channel ? Or a list ?

You can find it easily using LNDg. Look at your active channels, then click on the channel ID. It will take you to the MY LND Overview page for the channel. Then at the top of the page find "Opened in <block>. That takes you to the mempool opening transaction.

Maybe one of these tools could help #256385 did not try them all yet. Finding the oldest channel maybe challenging, perhaps via cli somehow?

Enter your node's alias in Amboss. It states your oldest channel. It doesn't give specifics as to which channel. LNDg allows you to figure that out, as I explained in my other reply.

What Darthcoin was asking is a way to find the oldest channel in the lightning network, not on your node.

hehehehe that was a tricky question, to see if somebody could have a clear answer finding a specific channel. That's the beauty of LN, many things you can't obtain and is for the good.
IMHO, I think is possible to extract from a good synced LN graph the info about the oldest channel. But I do not have those coding skills to do it.
