Ok final note before doing some work. I can’t figure out if I’m overthinking this.

GOAL: self custodial lighting node for zaps.

GOAL: not having to put a million sats on a node just to zap.

GOAL: high probability new channels remain balanced with inbound and outbound sats. Reduces friction.

Steps:

1. Spin up new lightning node with naming convention “nostr-zaps-xxxxxx”

2. Find other nodes with similar naming. Connect small channels to them.

3: [optionally] Send out some sats to a different lighting address you own to free up inbound liquidity and then transfer back to onchain to reduce cost of failures.

4. ??? Not sure what an easy way to get a lnurl or whatever I think I need too. Server has to be online all the time?

5. Have fun zapping.
