Has anyone else noticed how low the mempool is... block sizes are small as well.
I am opening LN channels for 1SAT/vByte.

I really need to get back into Lightning again.

Running an Umbrel node that I'm super happy with, but just haven't had the incentive or desire to play with Lightning again - Too much other stuff going on in my life sorta thing.

Half debating surveying for natural gas deposits around 2025'ish on segments of our ranch, and see if I can't start doing some of that waste-emission-based mining with some of the new offerings available.

I mean, we'll have at least 50kWh of Solar available to us, but not enough to run a serious mining op - Will be entirely dedicated to powering the ranch/home needs.

Anyway, back to playing FFVIX I guess... Sorta kinda having a love/hate relationship with that game getting a Summoner up to level 73 so far...

Good to see you back Bob. I was scanning some LN nodes, and one was called SilientBob... I was thinking it might have been you!

Anyhow, fire up the LN Rig and join this LN train... Might want to update it to the latest version to make sure you have all the latest protections for off chain recovery.

Quick recap: 14 Active Channels. Capacity: 17,700,000 SAT, made a few minor mistakes, such as opening with low quality peers, but we all have to start somewhere. Biggest channel is with a merchant providing liquidity in El Salvador, which was one of the reasons i had undertaken this LN project.

Only one WO member messaged me so far.. I want to create a 5 node Pentagon Channel with 2M SAT in each channel, will balance once all 5 channels are open so we have liquidity of 1M SAT on both sides. Looking for another 3 more....

cAPSLOCK? elwar? Bob???
