Another layer of difficulty now, I have a bunch of sats on an embedded node Zeus phone wallet... I /could/ use those to pay for a new AlbyHub channel, but every time I try to pay it times out.

Based on network data, this might be because of a large number of zombie channels (48000+). But none of the steps in Zeus docs gets rid of them. Express Graph Sync is enabled, restarted multiple times, no dice.

I should have just stayed with Alby custodial ffs -_-;
