Interesting #statistics of #LNBiG for the last 24 hours.
Now I have 0/0 commissions for most channels (completely zero) - this is done for #rebalancing (only if the channel has more than 80% of the balance on my side and it's public one). If a balance is from 20% to 80% for public channels or for all private channels, then the #commission is 1000/1000 (1000 msats base fee and 1000 ppm rate or 0.1%).
Such commissions have been standing for about a week, but usually the volume of passing payments per day did not exceed 10 BTC, and commissions were not collected even $10 per day in sats (30K-40K sats).
But today's day is just very different from the days of all time. This is the first day in my memory when about $100 per day was #earned on commissions!
The last 24 hours of LNBIG:
Amount transactions: 9681
The sum of transfered BTC: 28.89890006
Percentile 0%: 1 sats
Percentile 25%: 5000 sats
Percentile 50%: 35900 sats
Percentile 75%: 149081 sats
Percentile 95%: 1007812 sats
Last 24 hours fee earning: 348034 sat (0.00348034 BTC)
Based on these data, the following conclusion can be drawn. The number of payments was as usual - it was always about 8,000-9,000 per day. But today the volume is simply colossal: 29 BTC. But what is even more important - the commissions amounted to almost $93 per day (348K sats). If you divide the commissions by volume, you get 0.012%, which is 10 times less than the commissions of balanced public channels. It can be roughly concluded that a lot of payments went through channels with zero commission, but also that 1/10 of the volume of payments went through balanced channels (or private ones) with a 0.1% commission.
I remind you that the commissions in the channel are applied at the rates of the node from which the financial flow is coming.
#Example:
That is, my commissions are applied only if the financial flow goes from my nodes to external nodes. For example, if you are connected to me as a private channel and pay the user Wallet of Satoshi, and I have a channel with their node (WoS) where the commission is 0/0, then you will pay 0 sats. But if the user of #WoS paying you into a private channel connected to me then the payer of WoS will pay 0.1% (LNBiG's fee for private channels) + fee of WoS side set on the channel between WoS and LNBiG.
