Hey Nostrich noderunners, can we get #[2] some channels? He needs both inbound and outbound liquidity! ⚡️

Discussion
Will do this afternoon
Thank you all! I’ve transferred 1mil sats, opened a channel with half of that with Dan, but can’t open more.. I’ll transfer I. Some more sats, but don’t want to lock away too much just to test btcpay..
Added a nice channel… cheers!

Opened a 5M channel. You will see this when # conf are done.

You guys all fucking rock! This level of community, support, building is off the wall..
Opening 2mill channel
Getting crushed by fees. Was not aggressive enough. Might be a bit for the txn to get confirmed 🥲
We have to pay fees to host Lightning channels? I thought we made some sats?
You do. Fee to open the channel. The onchain txn is what I’m referring to.
You’ll start earning sats if you’re doing enough routing. It won’t be much, don’t start pricing Lambos.
All in a days work for the lightning liquidity farmers
The real yield is the channels we made along the way
Also, the real yield is the friends we made along the way.
Opened a 1,000,000 sats channel to you friend #[12] 🤙🏽
Follow the transaction here: https://mempool.space/tx/e38192199d574af90c40b6f1ef9f27cb830f1af69193efaf87db9183dc7807ae
I'm routing with so many Nostriches now. If anyone wants to open a channel, hit me up. ⚡️🤙
So here’s a #pleb question on lightning. For round numbers - say you had 1 million sats in your lightning wallet, can you open 2 x 1 million sat channels. Or if you have 2 channels, they would have to be 500,000 sat channels each?
You could only have 1-million in outbound liquidity, but how you divide that across multiple channels could vary.
You could open a 1 million sats channel, loop out the entire balance and leave that channel open, then open another 1 million sats channel (second channel would actually be slightly less than 1 million because of channel opening fees and channel reserves) and now you’d have 1 million inbound and 1 million-ish outbound capacity
I have zero channels and I'm looking for my first hookup. I'd be much obliged to anyone willing to open with me.
I have no idea how this would work or if it’s even remotely possible but could « Nodestrich » be its own micro-app dedicated to opening lightning channels with other plebs on Nostr?
Cool idea, no clue how to do that 😁
#[11] what’s your node address? We’ll get you started.
Yes it’s definitely possible and I expect won’t take long til we see something like this.
In the meantime, can we start #nodechain and get more Nodestriches to open channels?
Amazing!! Might be even be worth adding to the Bounty list if we want to put some sats into this! I know I would https://bountsr.org
Maybe a new NIP around liquidity sales/swaps/group opens
I will open and follow everyone in this thread! Happy routing y’all!
Will open. Need a few days.
Inbound opened to
pay at nostr.build
⚡️🧡✊
Just opened one your way 🤙
btcpay.nostr.build is up and running, thanks everyone for all the channel offers, I’ve created channels with a few, but running out of SATs. Do I need 500-1mil sats per channel?? And some don’t connect at first. Will try to connect to everyone that is there!
Hi all, this is what I’m seeing, I think it looks good!
🙌
Mine will be open in 2 blocks ⚡️
I enabled account creation, and ability to use the local node, if you have a store, or want to try charging for something, feel free to create an account and check it out! It is super easy compared to finding a solid service, setting everything up, creating node and founding channels…..
Just try btcpay.nostr.build for free!
Go ahead and open one to Strangelove. If you need inbound sats let me know how much you’d like and I’ll open when I get to the node physically.
