Lets say i only have 100,000 sats to open a channel. How would i receive a lightning transaction for over 100k sats would it fail? Sorry im a humble LN beginner

You would need to have someone open a channel to you of that amount or greater
Ok thanks. I guess lots of ppl on nostr who run their own nodes ans channels have to open chanels on the fly in order to receive zaps greater than their current ln wallet balance or zaps fail?
Typically people on Nostr either have those channels set up in advance or are using custodial services
i can open a channel to you if you like. just dm me your node address
Stupid question but would that require me to also tie sats up in the same channel? What would the benefit to me. Pls explain to me like i wear a mask alonw in my car while driving. Thx
no you wont have sats in there. the benefit to you would be you have inbound liquidity so you can receive payments on your node.
Oh that's crazy ao you could open a channel with me for lets say 100k sats. Then some other anon could send me 100k sats because i have inbound liquidity? What about your on chain tx fee to open the channel why would you want to open it it would cost you. Im a cool dude id cover the cost if we do this.
