Looking to setup my node with some channels purely for zapping/refilling v4v wallets. Trouble is I don’t have liquidity to setup multiple-multiple-million sat channels. (I’m a true peasant pleb over here).

Is it possible to be well connected with multiple tiny channels (eg. 3-5 100k sat channels)?

Seems like most channels have min channel size requirements. Also many of those services that connect up people wanting to make triangles or whatever also have pretty high requirements for the most part.

I have zero desire to be a routing node, but I’m running a node 24/7 and I need to put it to use. Self sovereign zaps is the goal!

If it is just for zapping and small payments you can probably get away with just a few small channels to start with. The best strategy might be to find a few plebs that already have reasonably well connected nodes but will still allow small channels. I don’t have any channel size restrictions on my node currently so you are welcome to open a small channel if you wish.
