Why don't use the intermediaries' public key directly to encrypt the onion packets?
BOLT#4 implements Sphinx for onion routing which uses:
- Smart Contracts
- Is bitcoin a programmable blockchain?
- Ways to get involved in the crypto world other than investing/mining
- Where is Bitcoin Smart Contract?
- What is Jack Dorsey (or others) trying to do with Bitcoin and DeFi?
- How is Cryptocurrency and Blockchain better when its so hard to really understand it? And how is it safer if you still need 3rd party software to work with it?
- How can the irreversible unidirectionality of Bitcoin be resolved in Ecommerce?
- How has bitcoin, or crypto in general, improved since 2009?

What are best tools for ground up bitcoin/lightning node?
I like RTL, services like loopd for channel rebalancing or if you're so inclined, the whole lightning terminal package. I love jochen's mempool explorer (source code) when estimating fees. I use blockstream's block explorer esplora (source) for my block explorer. There's so many fun tools out there I can't even come close to naming them all.

Can't loop out through Bitrefill
I use RTL a lot but I have loop out problems in everything that’s why I use CLI. The command is easy https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop

My reply to people who tell me to “just use lightning”
No, you can also loop it out (https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop). It can use batched transactions to save on fees.
- Just used LN for the first time!

Can I add Sats to an open channel?
You can use loop in to refill channel with onchain funds. https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop#loop-in-swaps
-
How to withdraw LN sats to onchain without hurting my channels?
You would have more details on why it failed in loopd debug logs. If you have access to cli, you can try using command check github docs for command options. https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop#loop-out-swaps

Lightning network channels are starting to become impossible to open/close/route payments due to double digit fees.
You don't have to close or open a channel to get funds in or out of the lightning network. https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop
