Seems steep for lightning fee!

The fee depends on the lightning wallet you’re paying from, @Dr. Bitcoin, MD

@stian was paying from the one of a kind splicing and self custody Phoenix Wallet by ACINQ⚡️

“Phoenix Wallet uses variable fees for Lightning Network (LN) transactions, charging around 0.4% for sending (including routing). No fee for receiving LN payments”

It would be a lower fee to pay from e.g @Wallet of Satoshi but the privacy would be much worse than @stian's self custody, privacy and splicing choice, Phoenix Wallet⚡️

@Blink Wallet is the recipient of the lightning transaction. The Blink nodes:

When the market develops, the costs will fall in time. But it’s still very early days right now.
