Hi @Nikefreak it appears that you don't have enough funds to pay the fee rate you're trying to set for this channel opening transaction. You have a total funds of 65391 sats and you're trying to open a channel of 50000 sats, I don't think there will be enough funds left in your wallet to pay a fee rate of 100 sats/vb My recommendation is to add additional funds to your node and attempt to open channel with larger amount. Please note that it's not recommended to open channels with such a low amount as 50000 sats. Given the current fee env in the mempool, you'll pay a lot trying to open and close such low value channels and not able to use the LN much. |

Hi @saubyk, thanks for your answer! Thats just a test flight, i just want to open a channel to do some test transfers. After that i want to open bigger channels. For your info: I have 115,391 sats in total (50000 + 65391 sats). This should be enough value left to open a channel with 50k sats. That makes no sense to me.. |

It is working now! I connected my node with the 1ML Alpha Node without any advanced settings at the channel opening settings. Before i restarted my node. Thanks for your help/time! @saubyk |
