#asknostr #lightning #bitcoin
Ok, this is a bit of a noob question. Lemme explain...
If my lightning channel starts off like this:
10000 <------> 10000
Then, looks like this:
10000 <------> 40000
Then, I rebalance to this:
20000 <------> 20000
Does that mean, in theory, I can crawl my channel capacity to be increasingly bigger channels, instead of just opening a large channel?
Or, does it mean that step 2 can never happen, because step one is limited by its inbound value?
