 I am sorry,  I had a Bitcoin Node failure. I was a force to  download the entire blockchain again and I had to use a backup command to recover my bitcoin funds, but it will close my channels. Please close any channels you have with me. I am working to rebuild lightning channels in future after I build a more robust node with better back ups.

Many new nodes that open a channel to Africa complain that I set very high fees to their nodes. This is true, I make this automatically since I don't want HTLC errors on my ability to route from my node to your node. But, the moment the liquidity flows to my node, the fees will automatically change and probably, unless you are a liquidity sink, my fees to you will be zero. So please don't ask me to change my fees to you if 100% of liquidity is on your side, this is intentional and working as intended.

Best,
A.

Everything Badass...

Glad to get on board with lightningnetwork.plus 

Thanks to @utxo for the point in this direction.

The time has come to upgrade my routing node to new hardware. I'm going to perform this migration the clean way by closing channels and starting over (I'm not going to risk funds with a database/file migration).

To all of my Lightning friends with open channels to me, all of our Channel Durations are fulfilled. Thank you for being a great channel partners. Should you wish to pair up with me a gain, please lock for new Liquidity Swaps from me. Optionally, my new Public Key is below if you don't want to wait.

I expect this process to take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on swaps, fees, and my patience. I'll start in March 2023.

Providing liquidity to show that bitcoin is a payment currency too! Please keep your base fee as close to 0 as possible for better routing. Try various different experiments and connect with good peers.  

It's been a good learning process, but the time for routing is over, for now.
Thank you everyone for the discussion, advice, and routing.

Hello, dear peer of #LightningNetwork⚡️, I will be moving to a new location in the next few days, I hope it won't take more than 1 day to be back. Sorry for my time offline, please don't close our channel, I'll be back soon 🫂
