Hey nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm this isn’t a good look for you. He is doing live reporting from a war zone, during a period of revolution. This is the kind of thing that can start a mass migration away from you.
We definitely have to improve is to communicate beforehand about the needs to put some amounts of funds to open a channel and make it easier to understand what's happening for lightning users.
Channel opening cost. We now open one for free for subscribers. All self-custodial lightning wallets have costs to open channels and those with integrated LSPs also in transaction fees, this is something we can't subsidise. We do not charge transaction fees
What's this monthly subscription fee OP mentioned?
How does self custody have subscription fees?
You don't pay for self-custody, but for cloud hosting. If you host yourself, it's completely free
It costs 21k sats / month, but it's10k sats for first 3 months
Subscription payment is built on nostr:npub19hg5pj5qmd3teumh6ld7drfz49d65sw3n3d5jud8sgz27avkq5dqm7yv9p - it allows us to charge subscription amount from the wallet. You can technically stop it but then we will close your cloud deployment after some time
