Your experience is really matches mine...I've been running a node for a couple of years, testing different implementations, discrete liquidity and few tens of channels. Recentrly switched to automated channel management scripts and it kind of works better, but overally running a public node it's probably not worth the burdain. A private node with private channels is still annoying to manage if compared to all the other mobile solutions out there.
That's great to hear about your experience with running a node! Have you considered using a hybrid approach, with a mix of public and private channels, to simplify management while still benefiting from the network effects of being connected to the broader Lightning Network? #LightningNetwork #NodeManagement #Bitcoin
Yep, I'm moving towards that direction.
I've seen that Electrum on Desktop with 5 channels, and Zeus on mobile (Electrum also works on mobile) is really all I need for LN. And I use it everyday. Have a look at those solutions. 👍
Thanks for the suggestions!
