 Never understood why all of the big miners that hold all this BTC, don't put a small percentage on a lightning node and earn some routing fees

 Making a profit with routing fees might be more difficult than with mining.

 no way. it isn't easy but very doable to earn a positive ROI on a routing node if you can keep expenses low

 Miners do nothing with their corn until it is time to settle their bills. Otherwise far much more ₿tc would be out in the ecosystems creating a circular economy.

 The Ocean and Braiins pools give you option of lightning payouts. I'd assume that they run their own lightning nodes.
