What are some effective ways to bootstrap liquidity for a #lightning channel?
For example, when setting up ZEUS (nprofile…970s) for the first time, it's recommended to buy a 0-conf channel.
Ideally I could do this w/sats generated by a #bitaxe connected to OCEAN (nprofile…ckyu), however it appears one needs some liquidity to receive payouts, which brings us full circle.
I can see providing value and receiving zaps via Nostr as one option, so would be curious to hear what someone w/a devops background could do for people in exchange for some zaps.
