Thanks all especially @ekzyis for reaching out to them. I could use a service and buy inbound liq right? Like amboss or LN+ inbound liq? Would that work? Could be great to offfer a way to buy in inbound directly inside of Phoenix. Because it can not be the solution to from now on for every LN I want to receive having to pay multiple thousand for on chain TX to increase the chan. I always liked phoenix for the simplicity and the custodianship but that would not be bearable
Buying inbound liquidity upfront (aka liquidity ads in LN protocol speak) is one of the options that we are exploring. Devil is in the details though.

We will only be able to buy liquidity from the ACINQ node, right?
reply
Yes, since Phoenix is only connected to the ACINQ node.

Don’t think you have that much manual control of channels in Phoenix. And with their splicing solution you can’t even see multiple channels any longer. You have much more fine tuned control with your own node, Zeus, or Blixt. I have a channel opened to ACINQ with my LND node and they do have higher fees on their channel by default. I still see a lot of routing through them, however.
