Question from relative newbie. I was setting up Alby Hub and went to open my first channel which it said needed payment of $19 and a bit of change. So I deposited on chain sats worth $24. Then I went to open channel and received following message

You currently have 24,000 sats. We recommend depositing 230,000 sats to open this channel.

WTH? I can't open a channel for less than $100?

Next question. Do I need to open a chanel to receive sats here from zaps?

Now you know why people like Bitcoin Cash. No Lightning channels, no high fees, no monkey business. Just Bitcoin being used as Satoshi designed it.

#Bitcoin Cash is lightning fast!

That's just more confusion

Only needing to use a cryptocurrency on layer one is hardly more confusing.

BTC = slow, expensive, multiple services (lighning, cashu, etc) needed for ordinary use.

BCH = works right out of the box, just like you expect bitcoin to work.
