You hold your own keys and you send over some sats to open a channel. You can purchase some liquidity as well.
So, like nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5, you need inbound liquidity and payment channels?
Discussion
I tried to purchase liquidity, it said “Channels are not available, try again later”
You already have a channel open?
No
To do that, I need to send in some sats?
Yes. Probably why you can buy liquidity either. You have nothing to send
So all I have to do is send myself some sats … that’ll open a channel and then I buy liquidity
There should be instructions directly in the app. But normally you send sats to the address in the app, then you open a channel. Don’t forget to backup your seed phrase
