bostonwine on Nostr: If you have three Lightning channels, and two of them have plenty of spending ...
If you have three Lightning channels, and two of them have plenty of spending capacity, but you want to send a transaction that is larger than the balance in either individual channel… does your node “do the work” for you to make a combined payment from both channels? Would it likewise split out a larger incoming payment to multiple channels, and “fill the first cup before it starts filling the next”
How does it know to do this, if each channel is opened to a different peer? #asknostr
