## Getting scientifc with fees
After going above 0.5 BTC in capacity, 20+ channel count and starting to use
automated fee setting with charge-lnd, I have started to see an increase in the
frequency and diversity of routed payments. It seems that the current size is
getting to the point where routing activity flows in several directions so that
channels stay balanced and things "flow nicely".
Given that I don't expected to have any channel opening/closing activity for
the next couple of weeks, I have decided I will run an experiment on prices for
the next two weeks. The plan is to hold two different pricing models, each
during one week, to see the impact on frequency and size of routing, as well as
overall fees earned.
The first week will be the "expensive" week. During that week, I will set:
- The encourage-routing fee to 25.
- The discourage-routing fee to 500.
- The proportional fees between 100 and 300.
The second week will be the "cheap" week. During that week, I will set:
- The encourage-routing fee to 10.
- The discourage-routing fee to 500.
- The proportional fees between 15 and 50.
Afterwards I will compare:
- The count of forwards
- The total forwarded amount
- The total sats earned
- The mean transaction size
