Rebalance

Rebalance, although very similar to pay, only performs one rebalance at a time.

Note

In a future version of Orb, it will be possible to perform multiple rebalances in one go.

Fee Rate PPM

This is a straight-forward setting for the payment. e.g a 1M payment would have a max fee of 500 sats.

First Hop Channel

The first channel through which the rebalance takes place. If not specified, it is selected automatically according to your balanced / ratio setting.

Last Hop Pubkey

The Pubkey of the last hop for the rebalance. If not specified, it is selected automatically according to your balanced / ratio setting.

Warning

LND only provides the ability to select the Pubkey for the last hop, not the channel. The implication is that if you have two channels with the same Peer, then you are unable to select specifically which channel the rebalance is received.

Max Paths

The number of paths to attempt before giving up.

Time Preference

With a low time preference (-1) LND performs a very exhaustive path search, starting with very cheap paths.

With a normal time preference (0, the default prior to LND v0.15.0) LND performs the path search as it did in versions prior to v0.15.0.

With a high time preference (1) LND performs a non-exhaustive path search, thereby prefering more expensive routes with a higher chance of success.
