Hello lovely Nostriches 💜
I’m going to open up my first LN channels, someone who will open up with me my first own channel on my own node?
Actually im kinda Happy, finally all done and now, i can freely say that I am Sovereign Bitcoiner 🫡❤️ #Bitcoin #Nostr
Trezor Safe 3 only Bitcoin edition on my Elecs Server ✅
Own node ✅
Own miner - on work
Really nice, welcome on the be your own bank side 🙏.
Do you mean to help you open them, or to open up a channel to each other with?
I thought open up with someone trustworthy here on #Nostr, but idk if it’s good for them to open with noobie like me, maybe I should use these open channel services for the first time instead 🤔
Can try first to open a channel to a big service like acinq or wallet of satoshi. So the chance of finding routes is bigger.
What is most likely the safest option if I may ask?
I guess I need to have big enough collateral for routing the public node, I’m scared of getting forced close 🥵
Do you want to be a routing node or private just for paying and receiving? I have a private channel to acinq. And is not a big risk to get forced closed.
But of you have telegram you can ask some questions in the Zeus channel. They have good knowledge and using the Zeus app to connect to your node is great.
Thanks G 👌
You are welcome, hope it helps you to make a choice.
But still wondering what your idea was to do when opening a channel, make it a private one or a routing one.
I was reading that url u sent me and I guess I will need to rethink my plans.
At first I need to learn myself on the public node and then, I can be “Uncle Jim” for my familia 🫡
Testing-Testing-Testing this is what will upgrade me 🫡
Maybe I was just too scared of doing something on second layer, but as I get it now, there’s nothing risky at all 👌
If it be forced closed I will not lose all the bitcoins, they will be just new UTXO in my Ledger 🙏 I’m I right?
What I’m scared still is that leak of IP, but on other hand you could get better routes on Clearnet with leaked ip.
I’m still confused, but I will maybe open public channel among my both nodes, so I can be more clear about rebalancing that main channel 🙏
Thanks again for your time, hope that in one day me and my little myself will be more useful for Bitcoin blockchain and for the Lightning system to helps adopt real hard money 🫡🙏
But why do you want to open a public channel anyway, to route? Routing is a lot of work and a lot of sats to be put in the channel (s).
I thought you can use lnbits to let friends/family use your node.
I have found updated blogs from darthcoin.
Also I got a ThinkPad with second UnbrelOs, so maybe will be better for me to open first channel completely in my control?
