Lighting Network recommended Channel size
by
kryptonoid
on 26/02/2025, 12:42:39 UTC
Hi I wanted to open a Lightning channel with 20k sats.
I found a peer that was supporting 20k sats funding: puplic IP: 03a503d8e30f2ff407096d235b5db63b4fcf3f89a653acb6f43d3fc492a7674019
The problem is that, that specific peer has a fee of 1'000'000 msats.
Can someone give me a link where I can see the min. channel funding and fee rate?
What is the recommended amount of sats when I want to open a channel?

Hi guys

currently I have bitcoind running on my Linux machine.
Now I want to create a docker container with bitcoind and lnd that uses the datadir of my current bitcoind.
Does someone can recommend me a documentation or a docker-compse file and an Image that works?

Hi

I need 20000sats to open a Lightning Channel in the Testnet3.
I found a working faucet: https://testnet.help/en/btcfaucet/testnet
But other than that I wasn't able to find other working faucets.
Can someone give me an advice how to get more sats in the Testnet? Smiley

Re: Where can I download a Core Snapshot?

I wonder how casinos and exchanges do that. I don't think they own their own server infrastructure, which means they must rely on the cloud somewhere. It's a risk:
Update: Our front-end provider was social engineered. An administrator that works for this major company granted a random person's account access, something we did not even think was a possibility (google, facebook amongst others use our provider to some extent).

This individual delivered a rogue front-end of the website last night for a brief period of time.

The thing is, not only they control the infrastructure, but there may be legal issues that arise.
I mean, I guess nobody has a full, clear picture of the legislation around cloud-computer usage.
Bitcoin is free software, of course, but running a bitcoin node on the cloud, essentially generates a computer that handles transactions etc.
I suppose that in order to develop such an infrastructure you would need some legal knowledge / advice / support (??).

That's an interesting point. Because I never thought about the legal aspects of using cloud services.
But I think as long as you have your wallet encrypted, you're fine.
The great thing about cloud VMs is the high availability of 99.99% and the scaling capabilities. I think that's why companies that run crypto wallets, for example, run their nodes on cloud solutions.

Some website i know which create and share Bitcoin Core folder no longer online. But FYI, Bitcoin Core have UTXO snapshot feature which allows you to jump sync to certain block height. After you synced to latest block height, you can use most of your full node features while it download older blocks in background.

3 days ago, Jameson Lopp write a great article about it (with download link) on https://blog.lopp.net/bitcoin-node-sync-with-utxo-snapshots/.

The Assumeutxo feature is very handy for people who don't have the best hardware but want to interact with the blockchain right away.
I'm using an Azure VM and paying for each GB. I'd like to download a pruned node and interact with the blockchain without the high storage costs before pruning.
I think a Raspberry Pi combined with the Assumeutxo feature could solve my problems.

But why isn't there an official pruned version of the blockchain available?

Hi everyone.

I wanted to set up my first Bitcoin Node on a Azure VM (Linux).
The IBD is now running since 1Week.
Verificationprogress: 0.5309191097334202

Can somebody recommend a Website or a Torrent where I could download a Core Snapshot?
