Oh, I meant to say.
Current fees are about 1.50 GBP to open a channel, about 80p for a payment transaction to buy the book.
On-chain fees are the tricky part about Lightning. A couple of quid to close a channel isn't so bad but if price goes up and blockchain-congestion goes up. Say 20x between the two factors?
Fifty quid to open and close a channel?
Better hope there's more than 50 quid in it.
