right.
iow, while technically possible, running a sovereign LN node is still a massive headache and potentially expensive in a high gee environment.
lets be honest with the people shall we?
I’m always honest with people. Running a node is getting easier and it’s possible to self custody even if you don’t run the infrastructure yourself. I have a full node with Lightning that I built in less than one day and a hosted Alby Hub node that I use only for Nostr that doesn’t me cost anything to run.
thanks for the clarification.
How is it your Alby node doesn't cost you anything to run?
You can administer it yourself?
It’s a cloud hosted LND instance where the user holds the private key and you can open channels with LSPs or other peers, and it connects to all of Alby’s NWC services and any Nostr clients that support it. It’s seamless.
On our cloud it's LDK actually!
But can use various instances, indeed.
