I work at the intersection of technology, ethics, and regeneration. I help people and organizations build digital solutions that are not only sustainable, but that strengthen the whole, from local knowledge to global collaboration. As initiator of the Permanent Future Lab movement #PFLab, I explore how open sharing can drive tech innovation for everyone. Iām involved with npub15qgfat6kkmzecup683u64lalqdceaejq97d8z8njhwk0c68umx6qcs5dcm and with multiple Nostr initiatives such as the Hello Nostr Starter Kit at hellonostr.dev, opencollective.xyz , noalt.app, Kidstr, npub1smwy5s5ypu823cemndwrg7252wdgdpnmufc7tkz9zxumta724u0qz5t0n6 , npub1mswm0kyce37jsnrwa3jelm469rcnezyq505djwl4aparmf4xf2es8rxl8w and others.
Just arrived at the @Commons Hub Brussels. Good to be back and do some Nostr activities this evening. 
Just arrived at the @Noderunners Conference with @Edwin Comino and Bonne. Great to see a lot of Bitcoin maxi friends without š©šŖ today. And happy to give a Nostr relay presentation together with @Sebastix #noderunnersconf #nostr #bitcoin 
Good day @ZEUS. I'm curious why the channel between your Olympus channel and my @Alby cloud hub was closed. Alby support told me "it was a co-operative closure from the counterparty (Olympus) which normally means that the channel was closed after the duration of the channel purchased.
We don't show this in Alby Hub yet, I think Olympus has now extended to 1 year but it was previously 6 months I think. We are hoping to add more info when you purchase a channel from the LSP about the terms of usage.".
I can't understand why channels are closed anyhow. What would be the reason for LSPs such as yours to close channels when there is an active wallet behind it, for me it doesn't make sense. Zeus states at the website 
"Olympus by ZEUS makes using Bitcoin and Lightning easier than ever, allowing you to focus on what really matters.", I don't know what this means for you, but for me it's doing regularly lightning payments at merchants and Nostr zaps. And in this case you make it hard instead of easy for me to focus on this. Thanks for clarifying and helping me out. hopefully we can make self custodian lightning easier together.
