Hey, sorry for your troubles, we're still working to improve onboarding experience. We need to do more work to help people understand what's happening.

Channel opening cost the same as on-chain transaction + some small fee (usually around 10k sats), however we now offer 1 free channel opening for our subscribers with big receiving capacity, so you won't have to pay anything more than 1 onchain transaction (about $0.5).

Your contributions on Nostr are incredible and we will happily make sure you don't need to pay anything to open your channel.

Please, set a meeting with us! We have a Spanish speaking support, we'll make sure you're be all set and taken care of:
