Input channel amount/initial balance defaults, as shown in fields

Click submit

Error displays

Expected behaviour

Channel successfully created! message should display... Actual behaviour

Error "unable to open channel" displays unless channel/balance amounts increased. In this case I chose to add a zero to each default,1000000/500000, which worked.

Not a huge deal but for greenies like me, it was a PITA to figure out when the defaults didn't work. So may want to update. Or maybe it was just a fluke... Not sure. :-)

Thanks and Happy New Year!

I think it's just a fluke, did you test again?
