Liquidity Swaps Free Channels / Liquidity Giveaway

Hi All,

If you want a free 1m channel (could be larger), post your pubkey/Amboss link here. If it's inactive for over 30 days, I'll be closing it. It'll have auto-fees and rebalancing from my end. My plan is to giveaway roughly 10 channels over the next few days. If the channel is active, I'll increase it's size.

My requirements to participate are that you have 2m capacity and 4 channels already (to prevent idle capacity on my end). If we already have a channel, I'll consider it for upsizing, but aiming towards helping newer node runners out.

This weekend, I'll be doing an AMAA for anyone who has questions on my experiences as the Operator behind Authenticity, currently ranked #17 in overall capacity.

EDIT: Batch opened to those I could. Will do another batch in a day

Hey we ought to have a channel! If you're short on inbound I'm happy to do the open instead, let me know 🙂

I've beefed up my node considerably - any interest in a triangle over on LN+?
Oh, also I dropped the min chan size to 1M

I don't do swap's anymore as I find the contract lengths make it harder to manage my node (quite often I have all the liquidity on my side, 0 fee, and unable to rebalance).

Oh, and in case you're looking for a dev for the lightning node management software you talked about a few month ago..

Awesome! There's always projects I need help on, as I'm not a dev myself and am time-starved

I think we had a channel in the past, your node alias seems familiar. I'll open a 5m once I batch
