I'm not even sure if triangles are actually good for the network. It's like we are isolating all other peers in the network out of our tiny triangle. I think it's better to try to open channels to anyone that is not connected to any of our peers, exactly to avoid triangles and loops between just a couple of users.
I think this is like if we stitch together 2 arms of an octopus. If we do that, then we have 2 less arms to grab another octopus 2 arms.

you are probably right, i think i got carried away with the new "hip" thing to do on lightning...  Roll Eyes

@Rath: did you ever write in the forum about the topic lnd vs c-lightning and why you made the switch from one to the other? might be interesting for others (it was for me) - we need that lightning network subforum. can i do anything to make that happen?
