I tried opening a channel in Zeus w approx $50USD, but was told the channel was too small :(
reply
Are you using Zeus connected to your node or with LPS?

I'm using the embedded node (LND) in the zeus app, trying to make a channel between that and this node referenced at the bottom of the site:
I've been able to connect to other lightning nodes and establish channels with them

That's weird. In any case 50$ equals pretty much 50k sats, so it's definitely a small channel. Not sure Zeus has some validation check, but is certainly giving you good advice. Try to open a bigger channel if you can, either case, a channel supposed to stay open forever...

The reason for me to open a channel would be to reduce fees when using this site. Even a small $50 channel would take a long long long time to be worth it. I have other channels open that I use for all my other transactions. Maybe I'll consider making a larger channel in the future if some of my other channels close for whatever reason.
