As I said, I’m new to this. Do I give my node public key to open channel with someone?

You should join the #Nodestrich group where you can get some more direct support. Opening and maintaining channels is best when both peers can communicate. You can also find liquidity swaps to join, and get help when things go wrong.
On amboss?
It’s on NOSTR and a telegram group. I’ve requested entry to the telegram group (find it from the Nostr handle)
Both Amboss and Telegram. #[7] has links in the profile.
Ok, to whom do I open a channel and how big? I already have channel to Phil (3M) and Phil to Dan. #[4] ? 🐶🐾🫡
Fishcake is going to open a channel with me, Chris, can I open a 3M channel with you?
Done! Should be open in under 1h 🐶🐾🫡
I’m sorry, I can’t go that big right now. I only have 1.5M on my node right now. I was hoping to open a couple of 500 or 750 channels if that’s not too small.
I accept channels from 250K , so you can do that or open one to Phil and myself. Up to you! 🐶🐾🫡
A channel of that size probably won’t see much routing activity but it still good to get the experience.
Yeah I’m just trying to learn and get comfortable with it.
Waiting to be admitted to the group.
Great, I’m out out with family right now. I’ll DM you later and we can work it out. Thanks
I could potentially open a 750 to you if you open to #[6]? Then we have a triangle.
This sounds like a plan to me. So I open to him and you open to me?
Yes, if that works for you #[6]?
Sure! 🐶🐾🫡
#[6] sent you a DM with Node info 🐶🐾🫡
I’m having issues opening up a channel to Chris so not sure if we will get that one working or not. Was there another one I needed to open? Just sending some funds to my node so I can probably do a 2M somewhere.

Just as I transfer funds the fees go up so I might be waiting a little while for the funds on my node! I’ll try and open one later on tonight!
#[6] 750k channel is now open, if you open one to #[7] then hopefully we can balance the channels and you will be able to send transactions through them!
#[7] Just I opened channel to #[6] 🤙🏻
I just did a rebalance on the channel now that both are open so hopefully you can make use of them now!
I owed you about 200 sats in fees for rebalance 🐶🐾🫡⚡️
I’d love to open a 500k channel if anyone interested. Not sure if better to wait right now with fees 🤷♂️

I’m gonna add you to my node as a peer. I have my Tor connection restored and waiting to confirm it’s gonna be stable.
