Here's the thing Jack, the whole reason why I quoted Derek's post is because I think the picture tells only half truths. I could be wrong. nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0d4hhxarj9ecxjmnt9uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef03vj0dj is your node profitable?
I dunno? I rarely open new channels. I rarely have any force closures. I don't rebalance. I hope it breaks even or close to it. I don't run a node to be profitable. I run a node to help the network and to be self sovereign with my lightning transactions.
Year one was manually rebalancing. I lost money then for sure. Year two I ran auto-rebalancing via LNDg. The past two years I haven't been rebalancing to save funds.
Gotcha...when I read "earns generational wealth" to me that implies you're making more than your cost. There's a big difference between revenue and profit.
I think it's important to level set for noobs thinking about setting up a Lightning node with the sole intent of being profitable
"Generational wealth" is kind of a meme. I was shitposting.
