Hello everyone from Ukraine! I ask for your help, I have Bitaxe Gamme 601 and I am mining on Braiins pool. I really want to be featured on Oceans, installed Umbrel, Bitcoin Knots (is now synchronizing the blockchain). Next you need to open the Lightning channel to receive payments, please tell me which channel to choose for starting with a small payment ? I need that the payment for opening the channel was very low. Sorry, if something is wrong, I am a beginner in this business. I would be very grateful for all the help.Please help.

You can open a channel with my node (PaulsCode LND). The minimum channel capacity is set at 10K sats (though I think in practice, you can’t go much lower than 60K sats or you will get an error related to the dust limit).
My routing fees are set rather high (1%) so that I can manage the many small channels that open up to mine. This means if you are only using Core Lightning as your node (rather than leveraging both Core Lightning and LND) you will need to configure Core Lightning to use Xpay before you’ll be able to open inbound liquidity (since the default routing has problems with higher routing fees). On Start9, you can enable XPay via Config > Advanced > Experimental Features > Xpay.
If you plan to expand your Lightning usage beyond mining, then I recommend configuring both Core Lightning and LND as I describe on a few other threads (such as this post here).

Thank you very much for your help, I have installed Umbrel OS and probably will install again as the synchronization of the blockchain ends and I see very little free space on the disk (I have a 1 TB disk). Probably you should immediately reinstall the 2 TB disk, otherwise quickly run out of space on the disk and then not clear how to reinstall everything so as not to lose everything in the wallet.
After reinstalling OS, try to open channel
PaulsCode LND (if you have enough money), because I have problems with my wallet.

It should work similarly on Umbrel (though I have less experience with it). You might have to dig around in the settings to find the Xpay option.
