The Xpay option worked for me when I had routing issues.
Newbie Q for Paul - If I opened an LND to LND channel with Greg for payment routing, once the channel was open could he add liquidity on his side or would opening a channel in reverse be better or the same thing?
Although Xpay is active in the setup the route didn’t work as expected. I have since figured the freaking thing out (with much assistance for Paul). LND, RTL and Alby are now working. I’ll test Alby when I move a few miners back to Braiins to make sure the lightning payout is working from that pool to my Alby wallet address.
Adding a second channel from the other direction is one way (though it costs a base layer transaction fee). Another way that is entirely over lightning (so low-fee and instantaneous) is a circular rebalance. Either of you could initiate this.
If Greg were to initiate it, he would go to his list of channels in RTL, and under Actions next to his ACINQ channel, he would select “Circular Rebalance”. He would input the amount to rebalance and select your channel for “Receive from Peer”. He would select a max fee rate and click Rebalance. Behind the scenes, this would create an invoice to himself with a route that goes out through the ACINQ channel and back in through his channel with your node. The end result (from his node’s perspective) is outbound liquidity reducing on the ACINQ channel and increasing on your channel.
If you initiated the circular rebalance, the process would look similar, except you would select your channel with his node in the first step, and then select another channel (with ACINQ, etc) for Receive From Peer.
Top of the morning to you @paul
No were to put this really so I’ll ask here. I see my private channel in CL is down. The log shows this:

That is the only channel down? Is this a CL thing? Should I be concerned?
Thanks
ps - Actually I see it is the Start9 HQ peer connection itself. Not on my end I don’t think. Disregard. I’ll see if it works itself out. Sorry
Fletcher - do you want me to help you out with this? Glad to if you need it.
Sent you a DM, sir
