Now running a hybrid node

Posted 13 days ago

Shortly before block 924484, hybrid-mode was enabled on this node allowing DarthPikachu to now open channels over Clearnet. Plebs running the Uncle Ric, Voltorb, and Rock_Salt nodes helped me get there - thank you!

Auto Fees and Auto Rebalancing

Posted 28 days ago

Starting with block height 921799, I have enabled Auto Fees (AF) and Auto Rebalancing (AR) through LNDg. I have historically managed fees myself and have not rebalanced channels. I am heeding the advice of smarter node runners by enabling these features to "support the network". 

Default oBase is 0; Default oRate is 1000 ppm. AF will adjust accordingly. Cheers!

Updating hardware

Posted 10 months ago

Hi!
In a few hours, I'll be updating my hardware and attempting to migrate the channels over. The node will show inactive during this time. If I show active again, then all was a success! If our channels close, then I did something wrong, and I'll have to figure out what to do next.
