Anyone here used lightning pool as a maker to provide liquidity with on-chain btc from their lightning node ? Thoughts on experience ? the UI looks confusing as fuck, imo, and im not even sure how to do the thing I want to do (lease out some onchain btc for short durations, get it back with some interest paid for the lease).

I don't think this is for onchain. As I understand it's for renting out a LN channel.

Yes, but you need onchain bitcoin to open a channel to someone

Oh, so you don't rent out a channel that's already been opened?

No, it's for people who need inbound liquidity so you open a channel to them and get paid for it

Ah, that makes sense.

Who pays for the channel close?

The opener, which is the one who's selling
