Is there a difference between opening a channel vs inbound liquidity? I'm referring to the second step of the onboarding process for Alby (running Alby Hub on windows). I completed this step by sending about 13k sats from my Phoenix wallet to Alby Hub.
Once I open a channel, I should be able to receive from SN, no? The transaction description on my Phoenix wallet from that first funding step says "Lightning inbound channel, provided by Megalith LSP". Should my Alby Wallet be able to receive from arbitrary LN addresses?
Do I need to open a channel in addition to this initial funding step. I sent about 14 USD worth of Bitcoin from my Phoenix wallet to the Alby wallet. Alby is showing my balance as zero, but I have an inbound limit now of 490k sats. Is creating a channel another step? What did I pay for?
Isn’t it just because of the total amount of dollars being high, and USD being the default monetary asset that can soak up purchases. The value of the dollar doesn’t go down when companies buy large amounts of other assets like equipment or stocks? Am I being dumb?
I've been using ChatGPT and Claude to learn Rust and do some front-end stuff with Shadcn/Tailwind. I check and try to understand all the Rust code, because I'm trying to actually learn how the language works. But something like Shadcn (without any AI) scaffolds components with hundreds of lines out of the box.
Even if you take AI out of the picture, there's no way I'm reading every single CSS class and bit of markup (Tailwind is very verbose). I go in and edit things when the front-end doesn't look right
Thank you for your replies. Things are slowly becoming clearer. I don't know if there was some kind of connectivity issue, but I wasn't able to withdraw to my Alby wallet before, and now trying again, it just worked. Not sure what changed.
