I have just worked out I don't own the small number of sats people have given me - nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k7tcpzcs8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7hscgks does.

I will remain in nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k7tcpzcs8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7hscgks jail until I can gather 11800 sats which is the amount needed to pay for the hosting of my wallet by Alby at which point I will be free to use lightning fully.

Of course I will be back to zero sats 😂

I sound like god damn boomer!

Does anyone have a better way to get started with lightning network in a privacy preserving way? #asknostr

I can't even use nostr:nprofile1qqsyx53h3h7ec4fwlspjq0kqec5gv54t7rc48xdtq6q4y94wsw4fnjqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsxym8mu because they want a first time buyer to post a bond in sats (but I can't because my sats are locked up by nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k7tcpzcs8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7hscgks) 😩

Surely I'm being fully regarded here and there is an easier way? How do you start out in lightning and be privacy preserving? #asknostr

You can buy it P2P with cash wherever you live.

Alternatively I can sell you 11.800 sats (or whatever you need to start your wallet). You pay me using Wise or PayPal. What do you think?

12k sats ≈ USD 14

Thanks brother. I can receive zaps so would you be willing to zap me 20k and I will zap back 25k when I fund my wallet? Worst case scenario I fail somehow in getting my self hosted lightning channel launched and just send you the money via Wise or whatever you prefer. 🤷

You are a legend Marcos! Sadly using my locked up sats to buy an @Alby Pro Cloud subscription didn't free up my remaining sats. I still need to pay for a liquidity channel. I'm still 7000 sats short of doing that. 😩

I tried to 'buy bitcoin' inside my Alby account and it sent me back to a screen that told me I can't because my wallet isn't setup yet and it's not setup yet because I don't have enough sats for the liquidity channel 😂😂😂

Can anyone put me out of my misery here- I'm happy to pay everyone back in sats! #asknostr

I don't have the sats to open a channel if my own. I'm trying to use the sats locked up in my Alby account to pay for my transaction bond in robosats so I can buy bitcoin to setup my first lightning channel on my self hosted Alby Hub.

to use robosats you need a channel to receive. it’s not a possible first onramp
