Thanks Darth. I was just thinking last night about how incredibly feature rich zeus is, wjether its using bedded node or interacting with your node on a server...it can do almost everything!

Thank you. I downloaded #Zeus a week or so ago, sent some #Bitcoin to my Zeus wallet, but got stuck there...I'm gonna get back to it after reading your piece and see if I can get #Lightning enabled and funded...

The Zeus telegram community could always help you if you have issues.

Just reading that telegram I saw some users that were having issues with starting with Zeus. So I wrote this guide, to help them with the first steps.

Hey, looking for followers.

If your down give me a follow, I educate myself on “the matrix” and know a lot about the nature of reality.

I will be posting info I find on TikTok thru the many rabbit holes I access

Thanks for taking the time to write such a great note for all of us to learn from for use and implementation of #Zeus @Zeus in our lives which is fantastic 😊

is it possible to open a channel from another node to the private mobile node?

Sure! I didn't entered into these details because on the Zeus docs page are quite well explained.

Read here:

https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/open-channel-to-embedded-node

Am I the only one having issues when using my embedded node with "Method B" (on-chain Balance) ?

I'm on Android ZEUS v0.8.1 and I systematically get error messages when trying to open channel from my on-chain balance for some reason....

Embedded node doesn't work over Tor.

Try opening only with clearnet peers and good peers, not random pleb nodes.

Please read again the whole guide, especially teh section "Stpe 1 - initial setup" where I specified some aspects, including about Tor.

Read it again.

Concerning the pleb node you are right it's a tor only node.

But what's strange is that I can't open to Olympus node using the "Open Channel to Olympus" button either. The only hint I have from your article concerning this issue could be my VPN (Mullvad), I will try without it.

VPN off didn't work...Will request a channel from the LSP cause I really want to continue testing Zeus even if Blixt is back as my preferred self custodial LN wallet at the moment (works perfectly for me, with LND always on, no graph synch at startup, it's amazing and doesn't drain the battery to much)

That means you have serious issues with syncing.

Pay attention to what I said in the step 1 about high latency internet

Also on "Another benefit of paying for a channel is zero fee routing. That means when routing payments, the first hop through OLYMPUS by ZEUS incurs no routing fees. Note, that hops beyond OLYMPUS by ZEUS will still charge you."

I don't think it's true as I just requested a channel from Olympus as I was failing to open from my on-chain balance, and try do pay right afterward and I was charged

Anyway the guide is still perfect 👌
