What are some effective ways to bootstrap liquidity for a #lightning channel?

For example, when setting up nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqd2970s for the first time, it's recommended to buy a 0-conf channel.

Ideally I could do this w/sats generated by a #bitaxe connected to nostr:nprofile1qqsq9k04vahllseell55m74n3047y88pzlr0z5yany32st29fapqmgsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctc87ckyu, however it appears one needs some liquidity to receive payouts, which brings us full circle.

I can see providing value and receiving zaps via Nostr as one option, so would be curious to hear what someone w/a devops background could do for people in exchange for some zaps.

Try the new ZEUS alpha, get a Cashu Lightning address, put it in your Nostr profile and accumulate zaps. When you have enough sats for a self-custodial channel, you’ll be prompted to upgrade!

How does one get a Cashu Lightning address to test this?

Menu > Lightning address right after you set up your Embedded LND wallet.

Or if you already have a Lightning address, go into Menu > Lightning address > Settings to switch address types

Got one, added it to my Nostr profile and sent a test payment to the address with Strike and it all worked.

Even got a Zeus notification when the payment came in. Very cool stuff.

WTF is ZeusPay+ 👀

Thanks,y second question was asking for suggestions on how to collect zaps, i.e. what would others see as valuable enough for them to send a few days my way
