Self host? 

 For sure. That's the ideal situation.  I could justify paying it if I had a business on here. But I'm not selling anything...other than hopium,  jk 

 It’s easy enough to add to umbrel or start9 

 fr 

 21k per month to send zaps is wild 

 In a bull market. Yes 

 Even in the bear it’s expensive. Especially with free options or less expensive ones 

 We will continue to migrate around to th next solution until its not longer viable. 

The masses are just pushing to much for legislators and resources to keep up 

 But you can also receive… 🤪 

 Get a 1 core slice and spinup Alby hub on it, $24 a year should be within reason, plus channel opening fees (LNServer is the cheapest)

 Yeah even with a @Start9 there seems to be no way to host a lightning address just yet (without a vm proxy to expose your server to clearnet) but I think it’s on the roadmap. 

 You can route traffic through a VPN subnet with  a firewalla ($$) or OpenWRT  

 Oh I thought it required a router with a Tor connection, which seemed more complex than a VPN. 

 No but Start9 can host all services to .onion services. The nice bit with AlbyHub is you get all their API/services with a self-hosted lightning implementation. 

Phoenixd uses self-soverign channel splicing to the phoenix node so you don't have to host any proper lightning node.  

 Truth 

 YOU WILL SELF HOST OR I WILL MAKE YOU SELF HOST

 You can always pay Phoenix 4sats per zap with Start9 + AlbyHub w/phoenixd

Will take a buttload of zaps to reach 21,000 and most can find an old computer for a start9 build.  

 More details / tutorial please? 

 right. month 1 would wipe out the account

 Bull Market hits and all of a sudden 1 sat ≠ 1 sat 😂

I do agree the price is too high for me too and that’s why I run it on my DIY Start9 node.  

 siempre pensando en lo mismo jajjaa 

 WoS still FREE.

 Not accessible to Americans or Apple users 

 Use Mullvad VPN. 🤙

 CoinOS gives you alot of the same functionality 

 🤣 

 That’s why I self-host. 

 😂 

 Running your own node is a money and time sink as well 😂 hardware costs, electricity costs, time, locked up liquidity, risk of loss, opening and closing (FC) costs
