So I am curious, if you’ve got a channel open for inbound an outbound liquidity, why would you open more channels? How many do you have open?

Just opened a new channel in my nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k75xqss4 Hub. I chose nicehash-ln1 because it is based in Europe/Belgium and accepted a 500k small channel. 😉⚡

Ah nice! Well the cost is essentially the cost of you sending a transaction on-chain. If the fees are low then the cost is ok... But that is essentially going to be a channel for spending sats. Then you need a channel to receive as well, OR send half of the sats on that channel to a lightning wallet like Strike or similar and the the channel will be balanced and have space to receive as well.

The first step is the difficult one, just try on an old laptop or pc if you have one laying around 😉

Hey strike, let's review and release it? ;)

The smallest you can open I think is around 150k, at least from the predefined in Alby Hub. Yesterday I opened an extra one with 500k because I wanted redundancy and a connection within Europe to have faster connection time to me. You can browse a lightning map and see which big nodes are around you and then copy their public key. What I did was to find a few, put their public key in Alby Hub and try to open a very small channel like 50k sats. Then the channel either opens or fails mentioning the minimum size they accept.

Yes! And it handled over 100 zaps just fine right now 😅😜🔥 nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k75xqss4

I run it in my own Lenovo Thinkcentre (1 liter PC)

I have adjusted my zaps now to 210sats...

So I want to share with the Nostr community and zap at least 100 random plebs! ⚡

criticism is good, but keep in mind many nostr devs are working on this in the spare time, or are taking lower pay so that they can work on this because they believe in it. nostr is an experient, a protocol. It's not polished. There are bugs. It's not a VC venture with hundreds of millions of funding, designers, and large teams of people building polished products. It's an R&D lab. adjust your expectations accordingly. Sure you can say we suck and aren't working hard enough, but is that really productive? We're trying our best folks. These apps are non-trivial to build! Especially if you want to make them fast 🏎
