How do I get more inbound liquidity for my Lightning Node? Got sats for sending but zero for receiving. Help!
Boosting Inbound Liquidity on Lightning Nodes

Just send some LN funds across your channel. That'll create the inbound liquidity you need. Any exchange that accepts Lightning should do the trick.
You could try to get others to open a channel with your node. But they need to have active channels, or else you won’t be able to receive anything. If you're cool with paying for inbound liquidity, check out Boltz... it’s pretty handy for this. If you’re on Electrum, there's a swap option in the channels settings.

A cool way to build some inbound channels is to get involved in liquidity swaps. Smaller nodes often pull off circular rebalancing once they get established. It's not gonna fix your current channel, but it does help balance your setup overall.
If you send me doge or ltc, I can shoot you some LN btc from my nicehash wallet. I’m thinking about offering this as a service, like sending btc from my LN to yours. Where can I post this? I could do around 2000 bucks worth a month, just a fee for doge and a smaller one for ltc.
Yeah, but that's not really what OP needs. They’re short on inbound liquidity. Why not just use an instant exchanger? Seems easier than this.
