At this point, I'm convinced that the last few arguments are just pure misunderstanding due to mistranslation.
What I got from your last reply is you're talking about being able to receive through your lightning channel after doing a reverse swap which is what's to be expected.
But the previous reply sounds like it required you to send small transactions before you can preform a reverse swap.
The issue is practically solved by the looks of it, it's just "language barrier" like my previous assumption.

You are right that the channel capacity has nothing to do with reverse sending; But until I did this, all my incoming transactions were failing. But after a few reverse transactions my incoming transactions were successful.
That is, despite the receiving capacity; before doing the reverse transaction; All my incoming transactions failed.

Hello. Without doing anything, after a while, when I went to the Lightning Swap section, I was surprised to see that it was possible to increase the receiving capacity.
It was probably just your connection to Electrum's official swap server or a temporary issue in the server. (as seen in the screenshot)Quote from: razini

It should be noted that you need to send some small transactions to activate the receive transaction.
Sending a small amount has nothing to do with being able to reverse-swap (Send LN -> Receive on-chain) since all it needs is enough sending capacity on your channels.It should be noted that you need to send some small transactions to activate the receive transaction.
And your on-chain wallet isn't limited by you channel(s) on how much it can receive from the reverse-swap.

No, I'm not talking about ThunderHub. You said to set the receiving capacity more than the sending capacity. This is exactly my problem.
That suggestion depends on your needs, I didn't directly said to increase your receiving capacity.If you think that your current receiving and sending capacity are enough, then it's already good.

Because I can't do it.
Haven't you said that "the swap is done"?This is probably just language barrier.

How can I determine the capacity allocated to receiving more than the sending capacity?
Uhh.. It's in one your screenshots, open the one that is showing your channel. (the first link maybe)Your sending and receiving capacity is displayed as "Can send" and "Can receive".
Or are you talking about ThunderHub?
If so, that should be asked in a new topic in the board that I've mentioned.

-snip- I use the ThunderHub interface. Did you work with it? What do you think about it ?
Unfortunately, I don't use ThunderHub LN Node Manager.Since it's not about Electrum anyways;
You can post it as a new topic in "Bitcoin->Development & Technical Discussion->Wallet software" board.
Hello, the swap is done. I want to balance the receive and send capacity -snip-
Even if you did that, it will be only temporary since your receiving and sending capacity will be readjusted according on how much you send or receive Bitcoins though your lightning channel(s).(if you are already aware that, disregard the note below)
You need to target capacities according to your projected use-case.
e.g.: if you will be receiving more than sending, then allocate more receiving than sending capacity.

Hello, I tried several times to increase the receiving capacity through swap, but I received an error message and could not. -snip-
That official swap server "swaps.electrum.org" is maintained by the main developers.If there's an issue with the server, they are the only one who can troubleshoot it.
Try again after a few hours or day and if it's still the same, you can post it as a new issue so they can check if the swap server is working.
Link to Electrum's repo, issues tab: github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues
Or try to check if the issue is at your end by using other ISP.

There is very good topic here about lighting network
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-lightning-network-faq-5158920
I some suggestions here to increase capacity

I some suggestions here to increase capacity

Option 1
Spend through your counterparty
Since Lightning is primarily a payments network, it’s common that users onboard to the Lightning Network and start off their first transaction by sending a payment rather than receiving. Your counterparty can be the end destination for your payments, or they can serve as a network node through which you can pay other parties such as merchants, apps, or games. Using payment channels for this purpose is called routing
Option 2
Ask another Lightning user to open a channel to you
When another Lightning user opens a channel to you, they fund the channel and all of the coins start out on their side of the channel
Option 3
Swap Lightning BTC for on-chain BTC
Options 1 and 2 are only executed between you and your counterparty via off-chain Lightning payments. You also have the option to purchase additional capacity (Option 3) by spending some of your lightning balance (off-chain) while returning that to yourself via on-chain bitcoin.

Hello, I tried several times to increase the receiving capacity through swap, but I received an error message and could not. As seen in the attached images. please guide me. Besides, I received and sent several times from this channel. Is there another way?https://s8.uupload.ir/files/screenshot_۲۰۲۴۰۵۱۱_۱۰۲۹۵۶_electrum_757.jpg. https://s8.uupload.ir/files/screenshot_۲۰۲۴۰۵۱۱_۱۰۳۲۵۳_electrum_v509.jpg. https://s8.uupload.ir/files/screenshot_۲۰۲۴۰۵۱۳_۱۵۰۹۰۴_electrum_0y4j.jpg.
