Question from relative newbie. I was setting up Alby Hub and went to open my first channel which it said needed payment of $19 and a bit of change. So I deposited on chain sats worth $24. Then I went to open channel and received following message
You currently have 24,000 sats. We recommend depositing 230,000 sats to open this channel.
WTH? I can't open a channel for less than $100?
Next question. Do I need to open a chanel to receive sats here from zaps?
