[Discussion] "Be your own bank". 1 BTC lightning node since 3/4 years, only made losses. It's a race to the bottom with every new "useless" node spinning up. Instead of the 3% APY that some people used to spread, I have -1% APY at this time. The network doesn't need our stupid routing nodes. Throwaway account for obvious reasons. Seriously, if you do not provide a service, running a lightning node is complete bullshit. You take a huge risk having a hot wallet. I shrinked my electricity costs down to 120 sats a day. Still, on some days, I can make up for that, on others I cannot. The fee management I automated. Peer disovery for channel creation as well, with some manual intervention. I saw some bigger nodes having the mission of "helping the lightning network grow", but us "routing nodes", nobody really needs. Meaning, that as a common pleb, you should always rely on something else than your own node. Yeah you can do this for learning, but what's the use for that, if node running probably never will be a thing you seriously get in touch with?
