I have been playing around with Lightning network.
I have a few tx that were created that have a very low fee - just less than the minrelay amount!
They are multi-sig so I can't up the fee and resend them.
Are there any pools I can submit them directly too? Don't mind having to pay a small fee to sort this out!
Not a lot of money - few hundred dollars I think. But nice to get back.
What exactly do you mean -- that you sent the LN channel opening transaction with too small a fee?
As far as transaction accelerators are concerned, there's the one by ViaBTC:
https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/The free service requires a certain minimum fee to be present, but they also offer a paid service where no such requirement exists. I've only used their free service so far, so I can't vouch for their paid service however.
The lightning network REQUIRES you to trust some random 3rd party operator.
Use the BTC blockchain - it's decentralised and does not require you to trust anyone to process your transaction.
Using the lightning network does NOT require any trust.
I guess you have a very wrong opinion regarding the lightning network.
I too wonder where this misconception comes from. By now it should have become fairly clear that you are your own node operator and that the other nodes along the route have no way of targetting specific transactions.
