0.5% is achievable, but it doesn't come from automation — it comes from where your channels sit in the network's flow. Nodes earn fees by being on the path between high-volume pairs, which means act...
Why wouldn't it come from automation tho? Isn't positioning your node within the network a key thing automation is good for? I did use automation to find peers to connect to. a strategic position to strengthen the network, instead of an economical position. still, strategic means, i should be the "only" route for some of the lesser traffic routes. I feel luke everyone just connects to the big nodes anyways and then enters the fee competition, which is going to be a race to the bottom.

Running a Bitcoin Lightning node often isn’t profitable in a direct financial sense, especially for smaller operators. The costs—hardware, electricity, and time—frequently outweigh routing fees,...
I want to run a profitable, yet useful node. I'm not here for the maximun return possible, but getting some fees in and seeing tge numbers grow would be nice for a start. If I could make 0.5% interest p.a. I would already be very happy. And the more automation, the better.

I've been running a #bitcoinlightning node for 4 months now. Down over 0.5% on my total added capacity, on top the electricity bill (small of course but still) and my "work" (it's a hobby so I don't count it). Are there really people out there who run those at a real profit? I mean a profit, that justifies the work put in?
@Jeff Booth said you can generate 4% interest a year and tbh. 0.5% would already good enough for me I guess. But instead, I am even sub zero. Would appreciate some feedback on what I might be doing wrong. Should I stop doing any rebalance? Should I only connect to the large nodes and start competing in the fee-race with an app like Clboss/LNDG?
Or should I simply quit and leave the table to actual business nodes?

Yeah, it's been really buggy the last couple of days. Particularly the onboarding.
It's still in beta and there's been several breaking changes. They're pushing new features and code every day.
It's...
sry but i don't even know what ur advertising here. no context, just "check here" and a website that doesnt work and from there only insults.
is that a reddit alternative? or why did you want to promote it?

I'm getting bored with nostr. Maybe I'm just following the wrong people, but it seems to be an echo chamber about how great the protocol is and platitudes about bitcoin.
Interesting content outside o...
Very good post. I feel the same. A lot of content is very valuable and deep, but it's mostly about the same topics. And a lot of people share memes and paintings/photos.... I'm just not interested in images of nature here or in art, I can go to debianart or whatever if I really cared but I don't need it here. I would love it if nostr were an alternative to reddit and not an alternative to twitter. I follow Gigi for instance (Bitcoiner), but he posts so many uninteresting things (amongst very interesting things), that it's annoying 80% of the time and very nice 5% of the time maybe. I don't want to miss those 5% but I have to accept the other 95% of his posts here (not to bash, it's just not for me).

Now we need a definitive symbol for sats. The ones proposted are mostly garbage. Maybe the B with diagonal strike-through lines? Seriously... 10 sats are around 1 penny already. It needs to happen soon imo.

I have 2 of this exact model and intend to buy 3 more. Still waiting for sales though, as they are extremely expensive, but by far the best out there. And the battery lasts 1-2 years I believe, never had to replace so far and I'm probably one year in at this point. But rn it's 170 USD, which is ridiculous. I think first time I noticed these was at around 110 (which is probably already ridiculous as well?).

I bought the this thinking it was an actual cartridge. What a scam.

just shows that game cartridges are a cripple nowadays and this will make "collectors" transition over to digital as well. retail distribution used to make 2/3 of a games price, is what we once learned at the university. pair that with everyone who can afford a 20+ USD game, probably also has internet at home, mandatory day 1 patches, unfinished games that are the norm and all of a sudden, this cripple of a product makes sense again. it's basically somewhat of an ad-banner now, containing access to the product, while still being creating visibility in stores.

Do you think you provided arguments here? Or that you didn't call names? You are a pathetic clown, yes be insulted. The arguments that you seek are in the video. The truth is there too.
nostr:neven...
Have fun with your "truth" then. Don't come crying later. Everyone interested can read our past discussions and make up his own mind. You anyways will never change without being punched by reality, so you'll deserve what's coming. I just hope you will use it as an opportunity to grow.
