Translations:Balancing Nodes/27/en

Plebs make the noob mistake of setting very low fees when their sats are local, then complain when the sats move to remote and do not come back without expensive rebalancing. Think of it this way. You roll a heavy rock up the hill (at a high rebalancing rate) and then provided a smooth path down so the rock keeps tumbling down again to your local. Your fees should be higher than your cost of rebalancing (or your flow should be two way flow so there is natural rebalancing). See the section on running a profitable node FeesAndProfitability.
