The **third change** is that outgoing paid channels are opened with a mandatory requirement to support anchor channels from your side!
For most, this change will go unnoticed, but for the owners of the old lightning nodes software, this means that they will not be able to open a paid channel outgoing to them from the LNBiG network (of course, funds for payment will not be taken thanks to the HODL invoice).
I have to do this for the reason that in the current situation it is very dangerous to have channels without anchor support. Such channels are difficult to close if the bitcoin network fee market is growing and remains with a high fees for a very long time.

The other good #news is that the #Tor v3 network is already configured on [those seven nodes](https://lnbig.com/#/our-nodes) that will continue to work.
Each of the seven nodes has an IPv4 and Tor address. #IPv6 I will add later. This means that you can open channels from the Tor network to these nodes. I also added the ability to open outgoing paid channels to nodes in the Tor v3 network (previously, this required a node from the Tor network to make a connection to the my node specified in the instructions for opening a paid channel). #LNBiG #LightningNetwork
