Title: Sending Breez wallet >0.04 BTC; what happens if done so?
Post by: btc123thatthere on April 23, 2022, 10:49:12 AM
Just wondering what happens if you send your Breez wallet more than 0.04 BTC, as it says to send "up to" that amount.

Wasn't able to find out what they do / what happens / doesn't happen if you send more than 0.04 BTC to it, as I didn't see it mentioned on their FAQ page.

Can someone tell Putin to sell his gold for btc? Thanks.

Sorry, I should have said: sending >0.04 BTC to the bc1 bitcoin address that Breez creates in order to set up the lightning wallet.

I assume that it's not possible for a (layer 1) bitcoin transaction to fail / be ignored by nodes and minors because of the btc amount relating to a specific address.

I guess you shouldn't try to find out :P

Correct.

Breez is non-custodial LN wallet
I haven't used Breez, but I've used Phoenix Wallet. In Phoenix, opening the channel is custodial, but after that the channel itself is non-custodial. If you're funding Breez by sending Bitcoin to an on-chain address, I assume the same applies.

By default, Lightning payments are capped at around 0.043 BTC. That is probably what they are calling "channel capacity limit". On a side note, this limitation does not apply to wumbo channels.
