Nostr Web Client

I’m considering to run my own Lightning node with a self-hosted nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub but I'm not sure I fully understand what that entails yet.

Here is what I’ve understood so far: Opening my own channel makes sense if I start with at least 100.000sats, though 1.000.000sats is recommended. I’d stick with 100k sats for now while I get my feet wet but I’d increase it as I gain experience and confidence in my node.

How do I decide if I run a private or public or private channel? So far I mostly use Minibits and Wallet of Satoshi for my zapping needs.

If I were to run a public channel intending on making a few sats by handling lightning transactions for others, how would anyone know of my channel? Do they even need to know my channel or would my peers offload some of their transactions to my node?

If I were to handle transactions for others, is there a good tutorial on how to debug transaction issues?

Maybe the easiest way is to run ZEUS embedded node but it is mobile node so be careful.

Easy way:

nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfc6c32nl + Core/ Knots + LND/CLN node + Ride the lightning + nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s8jq7y6 hub

nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9g84ctjf as mobile wallet

Open channel to Start9 HQ node, make it public, no need to route but may be needed sometimes for incoming payments. You can make it also private. Just start from something.

100k is enough for start. When you play with that you will find out what size and what incoming / outgoing liquidity is needed.

I’m already running my own infrastructure on top of Kubernetes. Albyhub is setup as well, publicly available with letsencrypt certs.

I booked a chat with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm this week, hoping that’ll clear up all remaining questions. Thanks for the response man!
