Lesson 5: if you have liquidity stuck, don’t be afraid to abandon a peer to hunt for a more balanced one. Everyone is after their own interests and it may not be beneficial for that particular node operator to help you balance. I burned a lot trying to dance around balancing a peer, when in reality slashing and burning is the better way for them for now.
Likewise channels that are too small just get liquidity stuck. The realisation I have 50k sats stuck in 3 channels when in my early days of setting up, every sat needs to be operational.
Oh and #Zeus is bloody awesome.
