Today I opened 4 lightning channels, all .onion addresses.

I then sent someone 1K using a lightning address, from my phone. Which means that it was able to lookup the address, get an invoice created, route properly, and actually transfer the loot.

And I'm not directly connected to any large lightning nodes (AFAIK).

This feels way cooler than I expected, and I'm probably enjoying it far more than is reasonable. 😆

Thank you to the plebs who joined forces with me to grow the network! You are the real heros of this story. You have earned zero fees from me for life.

Next up, we'll see if I can route to people I am not directly connected to. Should be fun. I'll have a good time or a food story.

Man I had just seen your note at work then saw the tapped funds note. Proud of you

Update: I also successfully sent some coin to someone with whom I do not have a direct channel. 🎊

Unable to zap you from my node or from Phoenix 😭

Sounds like you should open a channel to me. LMK if you're down and I'll DM you my deetz

I have some extra liquidity laying around on my node. DM me and I'll get a channel open

I should have like 1K sats worth of inbound capacity.
