I’m still trying to wrap my head around Lightning channels tbh… as we speak, I’m watching a tutorial of nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8
But why would I need to open channels with multiple persons?
Right? You open channels with people you send/receive sats from… am I just not smart enough to understand or is this a very weird way thing?
I don’t get it (for now) 😂 I WANT to use my lightning node, but I just don’t see the use for it I think.
It's probably enough to open 2/3 bigger channels with well connected nodes. You don't want to spread your liquidity too thin. If possible, +1m sats per channels as a rough guideline.
Okay fair… but I still don’t get why I should do it 😅 I mean, btc node gives me more privacy for instance. What does a lightning node give me? Or what does it give anyone?
Well, the alternative is using a custodial solution... Phoenix is a good alternative though. Not everyone needs to have their own LN node. Fun to learn however
Well sure. The thing is, I want to learn. But I just don’t see the point I guess 😅 also. Can I use my lightning node without opening channels? I think so?
