 I respectfully disagree with @corndalorian that people should not try to run their own ln node. I still like him. 
 @corndalorian does not like me and has me muted 
 I suspect the same with me. Wouldn't know why either. 
 I appreciate your perspective, but I'm curious - what are your thoughts on the benefits of running your own LN node? #OpenDiscussion 
 It's not that I think people blanketly shouldn't do it. It's that most people have no need to, and many people couldn't figure it out anyway even if they tried. There is nuance to this and unfortunately everyone that replies to me about it wants to ignore that. Uninterested in discussing it further.  
 If you don't want to route payments you can use umbrel or start9 pretty easily.

I just don't get the barrier outside of not having the motivation.
