About

This is a (too) simple, little server allowing you to open a channel with anyone using Bitcoin Lightning Wallet on the street. Just open the admin interface, enter the amounts and let the other party scan the QR code.

This way, you can easily sell pre-opened channels. Once zero-conf spending push amount is allowed, this will allow your customers to pay with opened channels immediately.
