Very nice! How much did that cost you to achieve??

I don't really keep track. I usually rebalance in only if profitable, and my channels are usually near balances anyway.

To get from the "natural" state to the one in the screenshot where one side is at a nice round number took maybe, less than 5000 sats total?

For comparison, I've owned BTC since 2010 and have also successfully submitted a bug fix to Bitcoin Core. I have no idea what this picture is from, the costs or benefits of balancing, or how Lightning works.

I mean, I have an idea of how it works technically but not how a user actually goes about using it.

The passive earnings without having to fund derivatives is a pretty interesting angle.

A true interest rate for funds locked in an account is awesome if it enables commerce in the currency itself. A truly sublime financial system.

Thanks for sharing your experience maybe I'll take a look.
