And as d5000 said you can manage fees by opening channels at certain times. But if I do keep a bunch of channels open AND fees stay high at some point I am going to empty the smaller channels and only deal with larger liquidity providers. That is going to be the issue.
Because, yeah I can say open this with 1 or 2 sat fee because I know it will open overnight on a weekend. But at some point who wants to plat that game.

Quoting myself here because the last few days have proved this true at least for me.
I have a few new channels that I want to open but with the fees what they are since at least Friday it's not going to happen soon.
No, I am not going to send it at a very low fee and "possibly" they will confirm. Just going to sit here and wait for now.

How many other people are doing the exact same thing?
