 Channels here! Get your channels!

https://lsps1.olympusln.com/

You no longer need to use ZEUS to get channels from Olympus. All you need is a lightning node!

It's here! Build a node and connect to Olympus!

Building your own node just got cheaper for the plebs! 
 I love Zeus 
 What is the policy for closing the channel? 
Example:
Let’s say I order a 5mil sat channel, then it gets used daily for the entire 6 month “lease” or whatever. Would you close it because the time ran out, or would you only close channels that are inactive and thus not paying any sats for staying online? 
 The lease time is the bare minimum amount of time we will leave it open. We may extend it based on activity 
 Awesome 👏🏻 
 Getting this error, no matter what size channel is requested. https://image.nostr.build/0445e3d04abec08a59f041cb42d16b65d4ba2b8e408146406ba606349d1be5d6.png 
 How big are your existing chans w us? 
 ahhh maybe that's the issue, I was trying with a random node's pubkey 😆 carry on! 
 OK, works! But now getting ChannelExpiryBlocksTooHighInCreateOrderRequest if I try 12 months instead of 6 
 6mo is the limit currently. Working to expand some limits but think we’re going to go smaller time periods w option to extend 
 Order submitted, LFG!
@ZEUS is an amazing project. 
 That are very high Fees 🤨

 Outlier is probably our chan with Pubkey. It’s cranked up to avoid routing in NYS 
 can't trust they won't flee the US like phoenix.  wasted enough sats on lsps already. 
 Who hurt you? 
 i did name drop phoenix... 
 One thing is removing an app from a shity useless play store and another thing is to open channels with LSPs.
Seems that you know very little about how LN channels works. 
 their lsp stopped serving us customers. 
 You cannot compare Phoenix / Acinq with Zeus / Olympus.
Are totally different things.

 does zeus not own olympus?  if they do, the comparison is fine. 
 Does Zeus allow you to open channels with whatever other node? Yes. So comparison is not "fine". 
 since I was only referring to their lsp the comparison is just fine.  
 Is your head hurt? I think you have a problem. 
 seems you have an issue with me or english.  I couldn't care less either way. 
 :/ this does not inspire confidence 
 The day Phoenix stepped out of the US market we doubled down.

You don’t have to believe we’re going to stick around but we’re going to continue to extend our track record and build our reputation. 
 based 
 They only removed themselves from an app store, they didn't leave 
 I think you can agree the App Store removal is a form of market departure. A huge amount of users are left without access. 
 If it's hard for people to download an APK off Github, and maintain updates through Obtainium, that's THEIR loss and not ACINQ's. 
 Tbh I do still question whether you will stick around, but God Damn!  Keep up the good work! 
 What happens when feds move to shut down Olympus?
