Trying negative inbound fees for passive rebalancing
Depleted channels: -1 sat, -300ppm inbound discount, 500ppm outbound
Heavy channels: 0.25 sat, 25ppm outbound
The idea: create arbitrage so routers move liquidity where I need it.
Every route through me is a rebalance.
Seems better than manual rebalancing since you're earning fees instead of paying them, and it only happens when there's actual demand.
Using charge-lnd to auto-adjust as balances shift. LND 0.18+ required.
We'll see how it goes.
