The Lightning Network does not make sense. You open channels to be able to send or receive funds. Per the attached screenshot, you can see the liquidity my node. I have Lightning Wallets connected to this node from my LNDHUB. Every time I zap someone from the lightning wallet, the liquidity goes down.
Here is the confusing part:
If someone makes a wallet on my node and deposits $1000 for example, that number should jump up. What happens if all the money from the channels disappear ? Do they close? Do I have to refund with my own money? This looks like it will mess up my ability to send and receive money too
