Skhron on Nostr: Previously I have used pruned Bitcoin Core node with argument `prune=25000`. ...
Previously I have used pruned Bitcoin Core node with argument `prune=25000`. Receiving Lightning transactions worked flawlessly when I established sufficient inbound liquidaty across mutliple channels including some LSPs. However I did encounter strange errors paying some invoices, namely nostr.wine - and as I can conclude now, the reason was that my node could not find theirs node and build a route. Well sometimes it did work for small amount, but not reliably and I could not resolve their node using Ride-The-Lightning (it said node pubkey is not known). Also I have experienced pretty horrible routing given available liquidity and good peers connected. After moving to unpruned fullnode I am successfully paying nostr.wine invoices bigger than 10k sats and routing grown significantly - I can see multiple 10+ k of sats per single transaction being routed and it happens daily.
