Buying Thor Inbound Liquidity from Bitrefill for Bitcoin Lightning Channels CuriousInventor 2021-03-06 | Quick demonstration showing how to buy inbound liquidity from Bitrefill's Thor Lightning Channel Capacity service. Normally when you open a channel, all the liquidity is on the local side, which means you can't accept any money until you send some out. This service opens a channel in your direction loaded with 1M or more inbound liquidity to you. The catch is that they close it after 30 days if you're not using it enough to make locking their money up worthwhile.If you'd like to support the creation of additional content, here's a bitcoin/lightning donation address: http://bit.ly/2NldSYAfiat support: patreon.com/CuriousInventor
