Who's running an #Umbrel and wants to try opening a lightning channel over #holesail with me?
You'll get inbound-capacity and some free sats.

Finally, it's easy to open your home machine to remote users, without relying on slow & unstable TOR, or getting a static public ip address (and configuring port-forwarding on your routing) - using #holesail technology.
The UI allows you to open other Umbrel apps to the world by generating a hs://... URL, to which you can connect from any computer via `npx holesail --connect hs://... --host localhost`, or via the Holesail-Go smartphone app.
The UI also runs as a client, and lets you redirect connections to umbrel.local: to a remote hs://... URL.

I want to do an experiment and open the first lightning channel via holesail, between two #umbrel machines which are both behind a home router (NAT). Who wants to join?

(P.S. don't ask me how holesail works behind the scenes, I only wrapped it with UI and published to the Umbrel app store)
