Something I've learned the hard way by closing and reopening channels on the Bitcoin lightning network all of that unnecessary to try to solve this issue
if after you've created inbound liquidity for yourself, you still can't receive any sats from an invoice of your wallet besides the fact your channel is well balanced and the node you're connected to is a big one with capacity, inbound liquidity and many channels/peers
if you constantly have "no route can't be found" "no path" or this kind of error, you've to check if your channel is open in "private" or "public"
If it's open in "private mode", when you make an invoice, you've to check an option "Include routing hints" (the name is different from each client) in thunderhub it's more obvious as it's called "include private channel"
I've struggled a lot of time to find all my impossible to receive sats error where due to this option and the status of my channel
I've wright this note by using a lot of keywords in the hope it could help some people in the future who were looking through the search internal engine of #NOSTR

Hi, I've succeeded to setup a RPI4 with Lightning in 2019 and lost everything (channels not saved) during a hardware failure
Back in the day, it was more challenged to run a node on a RPI4 but way more simple to open channel with low amount, nodes were not trying to charge huge fees and were well balanced
I've recreate my node with ease by using Umbrel but about channels, it has become a nightmare in my opinion to find =
- a node willing to open channels under 1M sats
- a node that have inbound & outbound liquidity
- a node that charges only 1 sat per tx
I've opened a channel with one of the top 3 well connected nodes = 1ML ALPHA and end-up with no way to use my sats as no routes were found on each attempt
So I close it and open a new one with another node well connected (CoinPayments) and this time, it's work to send my sats but even after creating inbound capacity by sending thousands of sats to another wallet, there was no way to receive sats through my node
Then I've found another one who was willing to connect for 100k but the base fee were 200 sats!
And most of good nodes well balanced with small fees only accept to connect if you have more than 1M or even 5M sats...
Amboss provide information about it, but you need to check 1 by 1 every node to find the minimum channel size and fees
Honestly it has become a nightmare in comparaison at the early stage of LN...
Is there a way to find a spreadsheet or website that make a ranking about minimum size channel, base fees, and see if the node is well balanced to be able to send or receive payment?
I'm not interested to become a node operator, I just want to control my own sats from my own node through a private channel with around 200k sats
Thanks in advance, if you have answers about this

Whaou, such impressive work! Thanks
I've read it and it has respond to many questions, and create new ones! 😄
I had no idea about the difference of private/public channel, as I apparently can't change the statut of the channel once it's open, I'll close this useless channel with 1ML ALPHA
So as I've read in your article, ACINQ since to be a good choice to open a small channel with and I should also choose another one
Lightning makes progress but it's still the jungle even if there is amazing work done to make it more comprehensible as you do with your articles
Thanks for your commitment to this area

Hi, I've connected to this fucking node because it was in the 3 most connected node but it seems all my payment fails because of "not finding any routes" or something like that
It's my first setup and I have only this channel open and active
What did you do? I think to close this channel and open a new one but which node to choose ? I only have 100k sats (can go up to 200k sats max but don't want to put any more sats in this experience)
Do you find a good node that accept small channel size?

It's my only active channel (and yes it's "active" in ThunderHub and appear in 1ML as open "connected :1")
But I don't have any other channel besides this one, do you think it's the reason that all of my attempt to make a payment have failed and give me an error about "routes or path not find" (or this kind of message)
Should I "close" the channel to reclaim my sats onchain and open a new one with an other node?
I've select this one because it was in the first 3 most connected one... and I've just 100k sats to spend on this experience
Is ACINQ it's the same or my payment will be routed this time ?
Thanks so much for your time

You seems very knowledgeable in this area, I've read some article you wrote, I'm belonging to the noob category who mess-up with the network unfortunately 😅
3 years ago, I've succeed to set-up a RPI4 with BTCPayServer & LN, everything was fine, doing all the stuff manually by reading tuto online
My system crash and I've give a try to Umbrel that make the install process ultra simple but...
My Bitcoin node is running, Lightning Node is sync, channel open with "1ML.com node ALPHA" statut "online", I have a local balance ready to spend, so in theory everything is ok
But I can't, I've tried with many different wallet/address/invoice and it can't find any routes
I've tried both Hybrid & Tor only
The Minimum Route Success Probability is set up by default to 0.01
Please, where should I start to investigate why I can't make any LN payment ?

By researching, I find something name "Amber" but that is not supported yet with primal
I don't know if this solution work with another mobile app client neither what it is exactly besides it seems a "key management" solution

Is there something equal to connect without copy/past our privatekey on mobile app version like Primal ?

What's prevent bad actor to run away with the money and don't respect the deal/trade ?
Especially on Robosats, the bond is ridiculous and nothing seems to prevent a bad actor to scam multiple times as it's anonymous
Am I missing something?
I don't know well the other one, is there a reputation mechanism or something that can reassure the counterparty can be trusted?

Is it possible to use it without the invite code?
Could you please provide one?

What do you mean by "the extension is enough"?
Is there a way to put our privatekey inside Alby Extension without the necessity to have an alby account?
It's what I see when I try to use your extension:

Thanks for your reply
As a noob it's quite confusing a lot to handle at the beginning 😅
Plus my phone die and my old one can't support lightning apps (and most of the app anyway), I need to find a way to use lightning wallet but on desktop until I buy a new phone

Hi, most of the guide/documentation around there when we start with NOSTR included steps with "Alby" but now they have stopped providing accounts to all new people...
Is there an alternative that exists and does the same kind of thing to easily and securely connect to clients & receive zap? Any other extension with the same functionality exists?
