i’ve wanted to use LN+ to open my initial lightning channels, so that way i get an outbound and inbound channel connection for being part of a liquidity triangle - but, i have no connections and no liquidity through my node atm, and most of the offers have decently high barriers to entry
i could try make my own i think, but i might introduce issues by getting into a liquidity triangle with two nodes that have no connections as well 😅
the rebalancing tools are interesting, but (from my understanding) that only really works if you have multiple channels (and you have to have available liquidity across those other channels)
what are your options for getting inbound liquidity if you only have a single channel, and it’s 100% outbound, or you have multiple channels but they’re all 100% outbound?
are your only options to like pay lnbig to open an inbound channel to you? (and i’m sure that comes with time limits, use limits etc)
or, i’ve heard about “looping out” when you send lightning to some invoice using your outbound liquidity (and therefore moving it to the inbound side), and then that same amount (minus some fee) is then sent to you on-chain?
i think that’s what i’m looking for, but it’s hard to understand how it all works, how i need to set it all up on CLN, and what (if any) services might be required to make it all happen?
