if you want to open an outgoing channel then it makes sense to have a big channel and also keep that open. And those channel partners require ~1m sats minimum size.
If you want to get a channel from an LSP it's _increasing your receiving capacity_. You get a channel from the LSP and can receive any amount then via lightning. (on the node page, at "receiving capacity" choose "increase")
This is also our default flow for the first channel:

- but that's good feedback we need to make this more clear and obvious.
Start9 is currently in the progress of releasing Alby Hub in the official market place. I hope it will be there in the next days.
LND on Start9 is soon also optional and you can choose either to use LND or just Alby Hub with it's embedded node.
no, not at all. With the LSP it costs you 10k-20k sats (<10USD) and get enough incoming liquidity which should be good for most users for a long time.
Uses then can receive any amount they want.
If you already have an Alby Account you'll find the option to upgrade to run the Alby Hub in your getalby.com dashboard
it's the best time to start a lightning node.
Alby Hub is here and the mempool fees are cheeeeeap ~2 sat/vB.
are you running it?
here is an invite for you: https://getalby.com/auth/users/new?invite_code=5b7ef009
yeah, let me know how your experience with that is anything we should improve
nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x ohh now I see "0 sats" for spending in that channel. Is this because I need to fill up the reserve, first?
yes, sadly that's the issue I think. Olympus there requires that reserve.
Balances in lightning are still hard to get right. Drop some more sats and then try again.
nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 Episode 76 was a blast. nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s and I are back from our #OtherStuffChallenge and couldn’t be happier with the rewarding journey.
We recommend everyone take a deep dive into the Nostr Protocol’s “Other Stuff” every so often to gain perspective.
Thank you nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x for dropping the knowledge on everything nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm has been building and anyone not using the Alby Extension we highly recommend you do.
Thank you to all the plebs who listened live.

What's your current balance and does the Alby Hub node page say something about the channel reserve in that channels list?
enjoy Berlin! in case you're traveling through Cologne, let me know. my house is your house here.
ok, thanks. I could not believe there is no way around it.
so I always have to create the directory on the host, set permissions before running docker compose
Can someone help with a docker question around the phoneixd docker image:
https://github.com/sethforprivacy/phoenixd-docker/issues/5
the container uses a less priviliged user, how to correctly mount a volume that the container can write to that data directory?

is that the latest version? can you check?
because I think it should no longer load external fonts. for various reasons…
It's the year 2034 Nostr usage is fined with 8000 sats (in 2024 terms: 8000USD)... what do you do?
question is always: what's your price when you stop using a VPN or something.
