The last couple of days reminded me why I stopped fucking around with LN on a node level in the first place.

I’ve just booted one up on Start9, opened a few fat channels, and have to do almost nothing to manage it.

What’s your biggest frustration with it out of curiosity?

The associated costs to run nodes, manage channels and the random force closures you may encounter. I really only need LN for zaps. Any other amount I can just tx on the main-net. I stopped running nodes a few years ago for the first time and thought I might want to pick that up again. Turns out I was wrong.

I just opened a node using alby hub. What happened?

yeah...

Can you elaborate?

too many expenses to participate in the spending layer. Main-net is cheaper for most of us (outside of zapping sats)

Lighting is great, but not so much for a hobbyist.

It is great and I love using it. Just not running it.
