hello 1gb max file size on raspberry pi

Posted almost 3 years ago

I've been putting off this migration for a while but my channel db was at 1GB after compression and it was time to do it.

lnd is now running on a new server and the migration went smoothly (pending another reboot tomorrow to plug it into a UPS). I'm still using the pi as a bitcoin node (until I can do a fresh chain sync)

Interestingly enough, even after exceeding the max file size limit (multiple times), the bolt compression routine was able to successfully pull the file back to a readable state. very impressed.

closing channels with high fees

Posted almost 3 years ago

I just closed a bunch of old channels that had high fees and had sent/received very little sats (300-500 day old channels).
I understand the desire to make routing fees but I don't want my sats tied up in a channel with little chance of liquidity movement.

what are your thoughts about high fee channels? worth it? not worth it?
