So, I was supposed to be able to receive sats, at least, up to the amount of outbound liquidity the other node has to me, right?
Correct. That would be the maximum you could receive through that channel.
And if someone else, other than the person who opened the channel with me, tries to send sats to me, it's never granted that the route can be done. That might happen if, for some reason, between the sender and me, there is some break in the routing, yes? Is this accurate?
There could be no route at all between your nodes or some node in the path might suddenly stop responding or the payment could be too large for a single channel to handle. The last one can be mitigated using multipart payments, but most wallets don't support them.
What if there is a route but it needs to go through many many nodes, does that has any influence in the time the sats takes to be available on my side?
Yes, it does. Most of my Lightning payments were instant while others took under 10-15 seconds. Some payments took even longer time, but it didn't happen too often.
Thank you once more.
Ok, I have now tried to make a transaction (once again) from my Bluewallet (installed on my phone) to my Spark-Wallet (installed on my laptop and connected to my node). The first attempt, I got a message saying "In transit" but I received nothing in my Spark-Wallet. After a while, I tried again, got the same message, but this time the payment got in!
Edited:
I would like to understand the numbers stated by the command 'listfunds' and what my Spark-Wallet shows me:
When I run the command 'listfunds' I get this output (I shorted it for convenience and to make the post shorter but everything related to the funds is here, the rest are the open channels):
"outputs": [

],
and my Spark-Wallet shows this:
So, how those these values relate to each other?
