Bypass Lightning channel closure fee reservation #9023
Comments
What if the other node wants to close the channel? The opener pays for the close in either case. |

Hi! The situation is I opened a Lightning channel around the bare minimum required BTC (0.002) but due to the insane fees on L1 and Electrum's hardcoded requirement to reserve + buffer enough BTC to close a channel, my channel is frequently unusable to send BTC when fees are high. This effectively means Lightning usage in Electrum is still tied heavily to L1 fees. I know this is from a safety perspective, but if we don't want to close a channel why do we need this check? Could you add an option for us to bypass this check?
