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!
