d4nt3 on Nostr: TIL that if you don't use your lightning wallet/channel for a month, it gets closed ...
TIL that if you don't use your lightning wallet/channel for a month, it gets closed and your sats sit on-chain, and in order to keep a channel open, I'll have to shell out the BTC equivalent of $22 USD, as of the date of this post, that I literally don't have, every time it closes. There will be months where I won't use that channel at all because I won't be engaged in the network. The monetary side of this network is not for poor people. Ahh well, at least I still have my lightning address...for now.
