It's your fault for not always knowing exactly what other people are going to send you and have sent you. You should spend more of your time fiddling with Lightning settings. This is your fault, bro. Stop spending so much time on other things and spend it on Lightning instead 🤷‍♂️

Just closed my Alby hub. Only a waste of sats.

Slowly Bitcoiners are waking up that Lightning sucks big time :) View quoted note →

Wouldn't it be easier to just use the fountain wallet and above a certain amount take off the table into self custody?

This email is triggered when someone requests a BOLT11 invoice from your Hub that exceeds your total receiving capacity. However, only the payer knows whether the payment intent is genuine. Do you typically receive payments with an amount higher than your current receiving capacity?

Alby Hub? FTD (Far Too Difficult)

you are right, running a lightning node is very difficult! its nothing for the average bitcoin guy, but instead you can use lightning wallets which provide you with just one channel could be automated to adjust the cap. of the channel like phoenix is doing it. but still its a little harder tool then a blink or WoS

Whenever you're ready for permissionless, private, practical and simple payments, #Monero is ready for you.

Just do a normal transaction in monero.

Yeah it's pretty tragic, private non custodial lightning is DOA. Only viable options are LSP based wallets like Phoenix with JIT 0conf channels which open new channels when you recieve large payments. Costs a lot in fees though and you have minimal privacy from ACINQ. Its that or your risk loss of funds, censorship, freezing etc. with custodial solutions. All have horrible privacy other than ecash too.

Get a bigger channel, 99.99% of people will be fine with default 1M that is what AH prompts people for. You could have as easily gotten 10-20M and swap out to on chain if you get this much sent to you.
