The growth of lightning nodes is moderating, transitioning from rapid expansion to a more measured pace. This shift, coinciding with rising transaction fees that raise the cost of new connections, reflects a growing prudence in network expansion. Such cautious behavior underscores the value of our data analytics services in guiding strategic connection decisions in this evolving landscape. https://image.nostr.build/6a198fb2e014526ed3bbcf5e2be64ace375ed5404cb2c717247e27b84dd5eb85.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1702x824&blurhash=Z03u4o_3uM_3%3Fv.7%5E%2Bu3-%3B0K%3D%7CGX%25M-Wx%5D%253%252ozy%3BK0%24%2Coz-C%2C%5BS%7D%24*xa9Z%25M%5E8%253xbxutROqt7&x=bc00c07c9c283029b200319382da26c4f92a5f830088b21059a29ea084cd16fb

Tallycoin identified as an Umbrel app that conflicts with Ghost Addresses working. Happy Ghosting! Hope this helps ๐Ÿ‘ปโšก

Yields from selling channels on Magma briefly dropped below zero as mempool fees screamed higher. This is mostly due to the conservative calculation methodology where the close fee is predicted to match the open fee, but will be revised (โฌ†๏ธ likely) as close fee data is received. https://image.nostr.build/a57b1a372140b65ed83bb10841bfbfcfafefbdc51cf5b809ce502111e36b4157.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=726x1200&blurhash=%5DD5Fb8gQVpsPVUm%24oIo%25jEogndjCa%24kYbyX%3DohnMbbofrloHXCbIj%5DkGoff3jbjWWZW%40oes*fkV%3DkCohjYofXBoIoHbJjX&x=58b17fc7e4aa077a7d18bcfd785190e3526e2449c2375536fa881bc5f039f69c Magma sellers also made a request for higher fixed fee options, which we implemented. Sellers can now align their pricing to support larger channel opens, for higher yields and lower prices. https://twitter.com/ambosstech/status/1732399748781629612?t=22DvQLx4quXsfOgQB4EbpQ&s=19 As a result, channel sellers on Magma are capturing higher yields by increasing fixed fee prices while Magma/Hydro channel buyers are seeing larger channels reach lower prices. LN Yields are again reaching 2% APY despite the high fee environment on Magma.

Due to the rising cost of Bitcoin transactions, we've added larger multipliers on channel open/close pricing. With a 4x multiplier, you can charge double the high priority transaction fee to both open a channel and close it later. This favors larger channels at lower prices. image
