I didn’t expect that joining Nostr would lead to me spending the last 3 days with barely any sleep, just trying to get my Bitcoin Lightning node working through BTCPay Server 😅
I finally managed to open a channel, but most nodes require a minimum of 500,000 or even 1,000,000 sats to connect — and I don’t have that kind of stack (yet)...
I’m looking for a node I can join with a lower sat requirement so I can have a fully working Lightning address and be able to zap and receive zaps on my domain like the rest of you legends ⚡
I’m also running a full Bitcoin node to support the network — just trying to do it right from the ground up.
Any help or zaps are seriously appreciated 🙏
