This is what it looks like to run your own LSP using your own node through our LSP marketplace, Magma.
This entire process was completed via mobile (h/t nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5) netting 16k sats or $5.87 in BTC.

If you're using the Zeus Node in the Phone, it doesn't yet work with Hydro, but can work with Magma.
If you have a full, public node, Hydro should work without issue.
You can select your liquidity provider through Magma amboss.space/magma or use the automatic management with Hydro amboss.space/hydro .
Hmm we can do a deeper dive to help troubleshoot. What's the pubkey that's being used for production?
Hydro is a rules-based automation system for your lightning node, enabling you to receive payments reliably.
Using Hydro supports decentralized lightning node operators that improve payment reliability better than any single LSP.
Hydro docs are live!
Hydro, our node liquidity automation tool, requires NO MACAROONS and NO PERMISSIONS from your node.
Once you have credits in your account, we'll purchase channels to keep payments to your node constantly flowing!

Is your lightning node ready for Black Friday shopping?
Don't lose potential customers due to liquidity issues if their payment can't reach your node.
Hydro can help with scheduled or recurring liquidity purchases before the Christmas rush.

So what's the most effective way a user with a #Zeus wallet/node can use a #LN tool like nostr:npub19tcpurtt6xulhw0r6sc404j9jraj0h8me2lzs7z2tqewz7l0hpas59nlea ?
With @zeus,you can purchase a public channel from Magma, discover new nodes to connect to, or monitor activity on the network for nodes of interest.
You're gonna need to go back a little further in time then.

We've been witnessing lightning channel closes trend down significantly over the past month.
What does this mean? It means that the payments layer of #Bitcoin, called the #lightningnetwork, is becoming a home for capital.
Bitcoin isn't just an investment, or even just a savings tool; it's a key component of a business' payment system. Lightning enables low cost payments, globally, to be delivered in mere seconds. Lightning operates without credit or debt, so the Lightning Network needs to attract and maintain more capital within the system. And that's exactly what we're seeing this month.

Channel opens are ramping up!
Batched opens make up a tiny fraction so far.

We've gotten great feedback so far! Please let us know how you like it!
Lightning channels = no sad

Lightning can finally be automated without giving up any permissions. No macaroons, just easy payments to your own node.

nostr:npub19tcpurtt6xulhw0r6sc404j9jraj0h8me2lzs7z2tqewz7l0hpas59nlea I couldn't see it in the FAQ, but what happens when you pay for a channel in Magma, but the seller doesn't create it in time? Are the funds refunded?
The lightning payment for the Magma channel fails, which is equivalent to the funds never leaving your node.
This advanced live search function will streamline and improve our most used feature. It's now easy to filter out nodes based on their capacity or channel count within the search.

This is great!!!
Would you be open to including optional channel balance pushes?
This is actually highly requested in order to use the inbound liquidity features of Hydro as well as some upcoming accounting/audit features for businesses.
