cadayton on Nostr: First time I've considered balancing channels in 2 years of the running the ln node. ...
First time I've considered balancing channels in 2 years of the running the ln node. The experience so far is I'm lucky if I can make a 5000 sats payment without timing out. 1000 sats payments seem to be no issue. With a channel out of balance by several 100 thousands sats that going to be alot of payments at 1000 sats to get the channel back in balance.
