didn’t realize you need to have a public channel open to receive bolt12 lightning payouts from ocean. is that true? it didn’t say anything about that in the instructions here:

https://ocean.xyz/docs/lightning

so it won’t work even if you have large private channels open with alby hub, for example?

I even have ocean added as a peer but I guess that isn’t enough

No it’s not true. You just need a channel partner that supports onion message forwarding like Megalith LSP or ACINQ

I have a channel with megalith, connected to ocean as a peer and ocean still not able to find my node

according to ocean support:

The implementation of cln is not support private channels unfortunately. There are two option.

1. Wait that we upgrade,

2. open a public channel

Thanks for the update!
