Can anyone help with setting up zues? How do I send liquidity to my lightning channel? I tried creating am invoice via zues but it just sits there loading forever and never actually sends the transaction...am I doing somthing wrong here? I presume that I have to create a new lightning address and open a channel but I'm lost on how?

Any help is appreciated greatly

Thank you #asknostr #Nostr #plebs #btc #bitcoin #zues #thenodeisinthephone #lost

Is this your own node hardware or are you using the "node in the phone"?

If you have a standalone node, you can use Amboss.space/hydro to buy liquidity for it.

I do not have a stand alone node setup I am in fact using the node in the phone

Have you made channels yet?

No I've never made any channels I usually use a custodial wallet

Transfer in btc, on chain or lightning. I think to open a channel is 25k sats

*I haven’t don’t this yet but this is what I would do.

+ sign top right of the channels page.

Open channel to Olympus

You’ll need to make sure you have SATS in your on chain wallet.

Not sure if there is a min amount to open the channel

Open channel

I have sats in an on chain wallet...I'm confused on how to use the node in the phone tho. I usually do a swap service to send sats to my custodial lightning wallet i do all this through alby. Alby isn't working for swaps now and i can't figure out this open channel and liquidity thing. Is there a how to video or just somthing I'm missing. I've tried to o-conf channel setup by sending sats but I just keep sending on chain to on chain. Haven't figured out how to get them to lightning.... sorry guys I'm probably just being dense i.e. stupid

Wait...I may have figured it out

I will report back

You can send liquidity with a atomic swap through boltz exchange for example.

But from where or what do you want to send liquidity with that invoice?

Then you have to have lightning in another channel or have someone send you lightning to provide you liquidity.

I also would make sure to create a big enough channel so you don't have to open a new one when you want to receive more. And the costs of the on chain fees are quite high so better to put in a higher amount in one go.
