So #lightning peeps. I guess I'm looking at looping as a way to lease some liquidity from on-chain funds since I can't afford to open proper sized channels? Because I have no channels to start with I can't lease any liquidity from something like lnserver yet. Any suggestions?

So it looks like I need to purchase credits or existing LN funds to open? I currently have no channels so I can't send any LN at the moment. It looks like they're facilitating liquidity advertisements?

If you can't pay a lightning invoice then you'll have to buy credits. You can pay with another lightning wallet if you have one.

Magma is a central marketplace for buying liquidity and channels to your lightning node.

I can't get a lightning wallet if I can't get a lightning wallet :)

Use https://BancoLibre.com and referral code "fire" and you'll then be lightning compatible.

So I'm needed some kind of boostraping then? I was looking into looping because I can send on-chain funds for channel open. Also no KYC or smart phone for me.
