I had hopes for opening Electrum channels but have to let it go because your post took my confidence away. Three Electrum channels will not be cheap. I will read about the Electrum routing issues, when I am ready I may potentially select a new option. I have one problem less to think about because I have a fully synced node.
You misunderstood my post. You don't have to open 3 channels. You can open one if you want to. It's just that I will hand out 10 merit for each channel opened.
That way, people who don't want to run an entire LND can get merits for that part.
I chose 10 so that it won't be *too much* merit just for opening the channel.
