 2 private channels been open to @ZEUS for months, always on, great experience. although a little fee may be charged, absolutely worthy.

 Glad you’re enjoying it! 
 this is the way of non-custodial LN payment for more if not for the masses, great job!  
 I also like Zeus for their open source ethos and had a channel open with them for month.
However when I used the channel for payments and was happy to have generated some inbound liquidity (ca. 80%) they just force closed it 🤷‍♂️ 
 If you want guarantees in your channel lifetime, you need to purchase the channel through the LSP: https://lsps1.olympusln.com/

Otherwise you can still use ZEUS to open channels with other peers 
 Thanks for your answer and bearing with me. So just that I get that right, I can open a channel from my node (not the Zeus embedded) to your node 031b301307574bbe9b9ac7b79cbe1700e31e544513eae0b5d7497483083f99e581
and such a channel might get force_closed at some point in time? Depending on what?

(Here is a screnshot of the closed and a newly opened)

 We reserve the right to close channels opened to us at our discretion. Channels that push a lot of capacity to our side of the channel are more likely to be closed. 
 btw I can't open the page to buying inbound liquidity from Zeus, is it actually running? 
 Yep. All systems operational. 
 I got an error, could you please help check it? https://nostr-chat-bucket.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com/images/17274674525341662024092722030977684.jpg https://nostr-chat-bucket.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com/images/172746745738852620240927220309128689.jpg 
 If attempts to retry fail, attempt to manually connect to Olympus as a peer first.

If it’s still failing you can access the web interface at https://lsps1.olympusln.com/ 
 thanks, made it👊🏼 
 if you run a node yourself and open some channels to relatively big nodes but not possible with the biggest ones, there's a chance the channel may not work properly because of idk which reason, for me is was a disaster, always offline, not usable.

then i opened a private channel to Zeus' LSP Olympia LN, it worked well and always online, then i opened another, same, I'm glad.

i haven't any inbound liquidity yet, just 2 channels outbound.
