What's cool about my private node which use for payments and sending/receiving zaps is, it has a single private zeroconf channel which has never been broadcasted on chain so I never committed any funds to it but I send and receive payments with fake bitcoin with my routing node as first and last hop which has real Bitcoin.

Magic internet money!

This is blowing my mind and I don’t even understand what’s going on here. Zapped! ⚑️

Private node is blixt?

No. A 2nd node on digital ocean.

Can you recommend a good guide to do exactly that? I want to set this up right away! Banks are on their last leg....

There isn't a guide but you basically need 2 nodes. I mean you could do with 1 node but whomever you're peering with has to trust you because you're using magic money.

On both the nodes you will need to add protocol.option-scid-alias=true and protocol.zero-conf=true in their conf files.

Install balanceofsatoshis on both nodes.

On the node receiving the inbound zero-conf channel run

bos inbound-channel-rules --trust-funding-from

And keep the command running.

On the node opening the channel from run

bos open --amount --type private-trusted --avoid-broadcast

Use public-trusted as type if you want the world to know about your channel.

All this is LND nodes btw, idk how to do it with other implementations.

The funding utxo is locked?

No it's not.

I appreciate the info... I'll save it for when I'm more experienced with running a node and then try to implement. PV

My Blixt wallet doesn't find a route when I try to zap you.
