Opening channels

Keep in mind:

• Some large channels are better than many small channels
• View Lightning Channel Management on youtube
• Reputation of peers is important
  • You can use a node's Bos score to determine quality
  • 1ml.com has node scores
• It can be useful to (only) connect to nodes you know (how to contact), so if your channel is inactive, you know whom to contact to investigate.
• You can fund a node requesting liquidity on Incoming liquidity requests
