Many people have been asking how to effectively bootstrap enough capital for a Lightning channel. Our costs for a channel lease are pretty low (~6k sats) - but what if you don't have any Bitcoin to begin with?
1) Try the new ZEUS alpha
2) Get a free Cashu Lightning address through ZEUS Pay
3) Put it in your Nostr profile and accumulate zaps
4) When you have enough sats for a self-custodial channel, you’ll be prompted to upgrade!
LEGEND 🙏
With 6k sats what kind of channel can you open on Zeus? On AlbyHub with 6k sats I opened one with 2M of liquidity.
I’m old enough to remember when Evan/Zeus publicly chastised and muted me on nostr for suggesting people use a custodial wallet. Lol good times.
This workflow is fantastic and very useful for non technical people. If you can make this technology seamless and fade into the background then you'll have a winner here.
Is Evan gonna feel like an asshole when people lose their phone or their hard drive fails and they lose their sats? Oh they lost that scrap of paper with their seed phrase when they moved?
😂 I’m all for self custody but it’s not always the best solution for every circumstance. It’s good he’s seeing that, I guess. The “super duper self sovereign everything at all costs” grift isn’t realistic.
Nostr allows for cold takes exposed! Haha
I love this
I’ve got the latest app
How do I create a Cashu lightning address?
