Hi 👋 and welcome to the Swap! Here are some suggestions for the best possible channel usability and a notice:
a) Have a fee management tool in play, in order for the channels to have a chance to route sats. I suggest LNDg.
b) Make sure your node has a stable internet connection (prefer ethernet connection to WiFi).
c) Try to monitor LN+ swap chat and DMs every day.
d) Auto-Rebalance good performing and profitable channels.
e) If most/all of the liquidity is on the other side of the channel, try setting negative iRate to attract sats to your side (LNDg is your friend 😉).
f) Do NOT join this swap if you have other channel(s) open with any of the participants!
g) Feel free to suggest or ask when in doubt.
h) I usually take advantage of the 48 window to open the channel, so I can batch-open many channels in a single on-chain TX.
I set the swap duration to 3 months, so we can check how channels flow. After that, I'll keep the channel(s) open as long as there is good activity.
If you see something strange or wrong with my node or my channels, feel free to DM me.
