 Can one open private channels to other individual noderunners from @Alby Hub (cloud node)? 

Or can you only open channels to the recommended LSPs?

I see *where* to open a channel to a “custom peer” so it seems doable, but not entirely sure how to start. 

Do you contact the other person and both set it up simultaneously? Does one person just enable it and the other is somehow notified of an inbound channel-open-request? What’s the actual process of two individuals opening a Lightning channel between their nodes?

Any recommended documentation will be appreciated (and zapped) 🫡

 “BOOTSTRAP NETWORK EFFECT.” Is meaningless Cult Drivel.

Putting it in ALL CAPS doesn’t make what is false true, and it doesn’t make math and the hard requirements of reality disappear either.

Enthusiasm is not a substitute for practical matters.

It’s easy to TALK but much harder to put your money where your mouth is. That is a minimum requirement to get things done and change the world.

Reality is not a TV show. It is not a meme. It is not a “Game”. You can’t change reality by wishful thinking or hiding your head under a hat “for OPSEC”. nostr.oxtr.dev
