While we wait for mempool to clear...

Thank you for your interest in Orville. Again, please keep in mind that Orville is a small node with no intention of growing past 65-70 channels and has limitations in liquidity. My preferred channel size is 3-5 Mil. If you open larger channels where liquidity ends up on my side, and I cannot push sats to your node, I will close the channel sooner or later to create better proportions and flow.

In the last month or so, Orville has not opened any new channels. The on-chain fees are too high since Ordinals Inscriptions craziness was unleashed. Is it a passing fad? At its current intensity, yes probably it is. But mostly a fun and creative one. Now after 1 Mil inscriptions it looks like mempool is quieting down a bit - looking forward to being able to open channels at 1sat/Vb again.
