<p>Usually you can configure the timelock that you wish your channels should have and the maximum timelock that you are willing to accept.

<p>so tried to open a node whose owner opened the port but I get this message above: remote channel message: Unreasonable to_self_delay = 2016 (max=2000). I tried on both elcair wallet and bitcoin lightning wallet. </p>
