Mobile zeus - how to purchase liquidity form non-olympus lsp
315 sats \ 5 comments \ @BallLightning 22h lightning
Hello, guys. I was trying to buy quite large incoming channel (around 9 000 000 sats) for one year. The price Olympus charges is around 350 000 sats, which his quite a lot. then I decided to check if I can buy from other LSPs. Darth had a table with prices, but I think it is not up to date. And more importantly - I couldn't find how to buy channels from most of them. Some of them have web interface, some of them require registration (I don't want to register). But Zeus has a Purchase Inbound Channel (which after I read uses some protocol or something called LSPS1). I see that the app has a way to change the LSP from which the channels are purchased, but I can't find anywhere a list with LSPs that I can connect to so that this button will work. Are there any?
So... this is my first question - how to find another LSP I can purchase channels by using this button. Secondary question: What is the cheapest way to purchase 9000000 sats incoming channel for a year? (Side note: blocktank has lower prices but it charges relatively high fees on the last hop I think.)

With that button in Zeus right now there's listed only Olympus. Nevertheless, if you can find a LSP that is using the LSPS1 API you can change the LSP if you go to Settings ->LSP ->JiT channels -> and fill in the LSP URL
Also you can use the "request channels in advance" option (in the same section LSP services) by adding the LSP pubkey.
But remember: if the LSP is not publishing from their side the LSPS1 specs, you cannot buy from random nodes just by adding those details in Zeus LSP section.
Maybe we should call here @rizful_com that manage the Megalith nodes LSP and they could offer these LSPS1 services for Zeus users.
Until then you can just buy a channel in a normal way, (as described in this section) by adding the LSP node as peer in your Zeus, then on their LSP buy inbound channel page, continue the process of buying the inbound channel. Keep in mind to request a private channel for Zeus embedded. If you request a public one you better keep your Zeus in persistent mode.
Try with Megalith LSP: https://megalithic.me/

Thanks, first of all, I want to point out that Zeus is doing critical work in the BTC community, and if you use Zeus, you should support their mission. One way you can do that is by getting channels from Zeus LSP.
Also, on a technical level, my understanding is that only the Zeus LSP can provide "JiT" (just in time) channels to Zeus wallets... I believe no other LSPs support their exact API.
However, as long as your node has the ability to "connect" to other nodes, then there are other LSPs from whom you could get an inbound channel. We recently set up this page where you can do just this.... https://megalithic.me/get_a_channel

Also regarding "price comparisons" between LSPs, this is quite tricky. Some LSPs might have better routing ability (fewer failed payments) than others...

The LSP that is available to Rizful.com nodes has the same pricing as Megalith LSP. Its's a different node, but we run it with the same standards as Megalith LSP.
