Happy halving! Enjoy the 3.125 era!

Finally have a significant amount of on-chain sats available. I posted another magma offer.

For sure. I had one peer that responsible for a lot of my routing close down their node at the beginning of the month. It would be nice to have more on chain sats to open more channels, but I probably have more than I should in lightning than is a good idea. #reckless

you need to go the state fair... for pretty much any state. have you had deep fried ice cream or deep fried butter?

I missed it at the time, but I started my node over 4 years ago! LFG! 🥳

The first 2 years it was just kind of there. Been more serious about it in the last 2.
It's been a fun journey, no plans to stop now.

lots of FCs that were pending for a long time are getting cleaned up. Wait until blocks with 10 sats/vb start getting mined

I need more on-chain sats!

Stats and news from Storm the Region for January 2024:
-Routed ~5.5x local balance
-Second highest routing revenue for a month!

-Sold several channels via Magma.
Happy Routing!

Sold my first channel on @npub19tc…nlea magma today. Process was simple to follow, stacked some sats, extending the lightning network!

Finally restarted my raspberry pi for the first time in 206 days. I now have the latest mempool.space version running locally, so a decent trade-off?

The number of channels closed. So, ACINQ has had ~6000 coop closes and ~3000 force closures.

2023-03-07 20:09:31 UTC

Trying to answer a question from #[0] about force closures, and I made the following graphic along the way

I am querying their lightning API because, for the life of me, I can't think of a good way to determine force vs coop closures from my own node.

2023-03-07 16:21:42 UTC

Does anyone know if mempool.space will rate limit API calls? Asking for a friend pulling a bunch of data ;)
