What are some effective ways to bootstrap liquidity for a #lightning channel?
For example, when setting up nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqd2970s for the first time, it's recommended to buy a 0-conf channel.
Ideally I could do this w/sats generated by a #bitaxe connected to nostr:nprofile1qqsq9k04vahllseell55m74n3047y88pzlr0z5yany32st29fapqmgsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctc87ckyu, however it appears one needs some liquidity to receive payouts, which brings us full circle.
I can see providing value and receiving zaps via Nostr as one option, so would be curious to hear what someone w/a devops background could do for people in exchange for some zaps.
Usually I setup up the self custodial node and channels - zero inbound liquidity.
To free up some inbound liquidity I download Zeus and setup a “node in the phone” then send myself some sats to Zeus. Then I shut down Zeus and drain the sats back to my own on chain address.
I don’t even know if I’m doing it correctly but if that could be automated it would be great!
Thanks, I'm also trying to figure out how to aquire the initial sats w/o buying them on an exchange, for example.
