Why specifically standard deviation? There are so many different fee levels at Amboss 😂

Trust me, I’m well aware. 🤣 I choose the standard deviation for simplicity sake and it provides a good balance of all the different aspects of setting fees. I could dive into this more in future videos if you’re interested.

Yes please! Channel fees and balancing them is such a black art. Don't really see many good quality guides about it! Good content! By the way... How do you find your on-chain fees compared to your profits from routing? On chain fees (force close) are absolutely destroying me

I stopped balancing channels several years ago. I moved to Lightning Terminal and it works great for me.

Personally I prefer weighted average. Looking at the fee distribution graph on amboss, standard deviation always feels so high. There is a lot liquidity below your level that will be eaten before you.. But you will be paying high rebalance fees using lndg. Not sure what's best.

I could definitely create something, I will make a note! Speaking on finding on-chain fees compared to your profits. LNDg is great for that, I mentioned it in this video more in depth at the 10:00 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hzZZjNay2Y&t=708s

+1 for that. Lightning terminal is wonderful.

It's ok to time the market when opening and closing channels orderly.. Or batch it.. But force closures are brutal

I currently only have one channel open BUT when I get around to opening more. I will take a deeper look. I usually study what you’re looking at. It’s just so much work tbh.

I’ve only ever forced closed once on my previous lightning node. I’ve since moved to a new one. For a brief moment in time I was able to have everything flow naturally in and out. What’s your node ID? Maybe we can chat about a channel. 😁
