So guys, as I said earlier I just set up a lightning node and Alby Hub.
But I'm still a complete newbie. And I have questions.
1 - So I have a channel on Alby Hub. And from what I can see, it's capacity is fixed at 1M sats. Am I correct or have I missed something?
2 - And what about the lightning node itself? If I send sats there, can I use them as easily? Is there any point in doing so? Or maybe it's more useful as storage?
3 - In that case, are there best practices as to how and for which usecase choosing the node itself or the Alby Hub channel to send or receive payments?
