The hub is essentially swapping funds between payment
channels.<br>
<br>
The hub's entire business is centered around having
payment channels open with other hubs/users.<br>
<br>
If the hub requires user funds to open these channels...
then the users have no reason to pay the hub anything in
fees.<br>
<br>
A hub that doesn't use it's own funds to open payment
channels to other hubs/merchants is useless.
