Going from custodial Lightning to self-custody has been slightly traumatic.
Trying not to give up all hope of a transaction ever clearing ever again...

Lol if you figure out how to open channels and with whom that can just remain open for longer than 60 days without someone force closing- please do let me know
I'm having a mild nervous breakdown trying to open a channel with Zeus.
Please don't scare me with the fear of force-closing. OMG
After three times its not scary anymore. Just freaking annoying.
I believe with Zeus you best open with button in Zeus app and you should be good. start9 seems to be reliable too.

I don't run a node on nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnytql6f0, but seems pretty straightforward
I'm not running a zeus node, just opening a channel with them.
Just reach out if you need any help
I can't figure out why the transaction doesn't clear. Did I miss some step or do I need to increase the savings balance, or something?
nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 will you be refunding the 16k fee, since the channel never opened? I had to close it again, and now I'm sitting on the cost.
How much does it cost to open a channel and how much capacity do you get?
Like 20k sats for 900k sats. I think.
For a year?
To open the channel. I guess that they can close it, at any time.
There must be a time frame. They can't just randomly close a channel 🤔
Why not?
You're paying 20k sats for it 🤔
Come on over to LNServer.com and have a look at our most affordable prices with short/long term commitments.
We never force close channels unless your node has been down for a significant amount of time and that happens only after we try contacting you.
