Announcing our inbound liquidity service.

Posted about 3 years ago by LND ⚡ Routing

We're happy to announce our new paid inbound channel service. While we still occasionally participate in swaps to manage our own liquidity, we're primarily a for-profit node with investors who have provided over 100BTC.

Benefits of using our service:
  • Actively managed liquidity, virtually guaranteeing successful payments up to your channel size.
  • Large channels to popular destinations and major routing nodes.
  • Open channels to any node, for a friend, or to your favorite service provider.
  • Private LN-only interface via Tor, minimizing our attack surface and maintaining uptime.
  • Fast clustered servers for reliability.
  • Up to 1.5BTC channels, minimum 100k sats. Larger available on request with proven routing history.
  • Competitive pricing and fees.

See https://github.com/lnd-routing/lnd-routing/ for channel opening instructions.

Open an outbound channel to us any time for routing and making payments.

Great service. How long do you plan to keep the channels open?

The method to open a channel is fun for those who are comfortable with math and the command line. Are you planning to create a more newbie friendly website?

I calculated the charges:
1M SAT channel - fee: 3,000 SAT (~1.10 USD)
10M SAT channel - fee: 25,500 SAT (~11.00 USD)
1 BTC channel - fee: 250,500 SAT (~110.00 USD)

your script worked (almost) like a charm! thanks!

just a small "bug" report: when it tries to connect to your node, if my node is already connected he thinks he failed.

this detail apart, everything was clear and worked nicely!

@LN+ Channels may be closed after 1 month of inactivity, but only if the liquidity is needed elsewhere.

As for a website, the one thing we're lacking is someone good at web/UI development or graphic design. We do have the python script that takes care of the math and asks for simple inputs on the CLI.

@OrangeLantern Thanks for the bug report. We missed that path in testing and the script has been updated.
