Have you contacted support? They seem to be pretty eager and willing to help new users get things running.

No, I'm too nonconfrontational. can't waste their time with my small problem and instead have thrown it out into the cosmos where you picked it up haha. Instead, I've just scraped up all of the crypto I have sitting around in various coins, converted to btc, and hopefully I can afford the rest of what I need for the hole I already dug.
But... That's why they have a support department. Like, you are the exact person they had in mind when they decided to provide support services. I think it's worth an email. There isn't some more worthy customer out there who you will be depriving of support by asking for assistance.
You've got me there! I was hoping I had it handled, but now i'm only at 211,475 sats in the channel, it's recommending 40,000 more. I suppose i better see what they can do. If anything, this whole debacle has gotten me to do something with the stuff I had fermenting on AVAX.
I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat, I have reached out to support. Hopefully they can do something for me.
Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k75xqss4! Can you give this guy a hand? He's been struggling to get his self-hosted Alby Hub account going, and could really use your help. Help a brother out!
Hey, happy to see you running node on your own and choosing Alby Hub!
As I understand, Shifty, you have deposited 50k onchain to your Hub but the channel is not opened yet? You can open channels of any size, but larger is recommended, and some LSPs have larger minimal requirement. You can proceed with using these 211k to opening channel, should work totally fine!
