Electrum Lightning Network walkthrough

Hello

I have a question about inbound capacity.

If I keep sending bitcoin over lightning to my binance account  , withdrawal and send again

Will this increase my inbound capacity?

Also

If I created the Channel with the minimum 0.002 btc  will I have problems later with capacity?

Thanks.

If you do the withdrawal again on LN it will lower the inbound capacity, and you will still pay the (at least small) tx fees of LN. So it wouldn't be effective.

If you do the withdrawal on chain, then yes, you will have higher inbound capacity at the cost of a onchain tx

The general answer is no, the gained inbound capacity from sending is not permanent.
As you withdraw from Binance to your Electrum via Lightning, your inbound capacity decreases by its amount.

It depends on the amounts though, "sending" increases your inbound capacity while "receiving" decreases it.
So whether it gains or not depends on how much bitcoins over Lighting you send or receive.
