That's currently the way it works. Each lightning payment uses a swap that the MiBanco user pays.

To manage your lightning node, you need to maintain liquidity from the rest of the network.
The easiest way to achieve that is with Hydro, which will automatically provision liquidity by paying the lowest market rate for liquidity.

We're seeing fear ripple through the BTC and LN ecosystem after the recent US enforcement action.
The chilling effect is devastating to US innovation and the network effect of better payments technology.
The best counter to fear is taking a risk management approach.
It's vital to protect businesses and builders of this innovation.
Let's figure out the path forward and protect better payments technology in the US.

We don't currently have one.
We haven't been subpoenaed by law enforcement to provide data about our users.
We also do not store data in a way that is useful for breaking payment-level privacy, so demanding our data would be pointless.

Buying lightning channels typically stops completely during high fee spikes, as visualized in Magma channel sales:
https://image.nostr.build/b6d1a71e6cd7eba376c29faa476dc1a7d8eb8a255d65b3b1ba724b715969c651.jpg
Lightning is perfect to avoid these events with existing channels.
Sustained high fees, however, drive channel purchases. Why do a single use transaction when you can make a reusable channel txn?
## Need liquidity to your node?
Use Hydro. https://amboss.space/hydro
## Want to become an LSP by selling channels?
Use Magma. https://amboss.space/magma

Want to use lightning for your business but don't want to manage channels?
Try using Hydro, which ensures that you can receive payments without advanced lightning knowledge.
Hydro automatically buys lightning channels to make your lightning node perform without requiring your attention.

Actual settlement is private. Settlement size is limited by the lightning capacity in each channel. The total capacity of all channels is public information, reported as network capacity or settlement capacity.
It's basically how much value could theoretically be settled at once within the network as a whole.

If you're not bullish on the Lightning Network, I don't know what to tell you.

8%** LINER, not 0.08%

2024-03-12 16:53:36

Payment processing on lightning is cheaper and faster than VISA.
💳 = ~3.00% fee
⚡ = ~0.67% fee
Using the LINER Cost index, you can calculate the cost of network infra (liquidity) for receiving payments.
0.08% LINER / 12 months = 0.67%
If you send payments, you save more!

Bitcoin is not just an investment; it's critical payments infra with a native yield.
Yield from BTC in self-custody is made possible by the lightning network and Hydro, our liquidity automation service.

This is a step in the right direction for the companies that need to take precautions against terrorist financing, but this isn't the complete solution.
Most regulated businesses have had to create their own versions of this one by one. As many of them have realized, this isn't something that they've wanted to spend time building or maintaining.
When it comes to a lawyer diving into the individual product decisions that were made, larger enterprises have chosen to outsource the maintenance to dedicated providers to reduce their liability when they can elect to use a professional, dedicated provider.
This is what we've created as the first feature of Reflex. We've operationalized the maintenance of relevant OFAC and Ransomware alerts as well as helped business prepare documentation that supports the consistent application of their business policies.
If building your own OFAC tool for lightning is a good use of your time, use this!

A 1 million sat channel (0.01 BTC) on the Lightning Network can now settle payments up to $612 at a time.
A 10 million sat channel (0.1 BTC) can settle payments up to $6123 at a time.
This can happen millions of times over the life of a channel.

"Until now, sourcing liquidity for businesses on the LN has been a challenging endeavor, as entrepreneurs typically lack the time and expertise needed to manage a LN node. Consequently, the adoption of Lightning has been slow for retailers using full nodes, often forcing them to turn to trusted custodians, thereby sacrificing some of the privacy and sovereignty advantages offered by Bitcoin. With Hydro, businesses can finally tap into the full benefits of LN adoption without the associated hassles."
