I tried running a Lightning node to earn sats about a year ago, but gave up after a while. It grew too big and locked up too much of my bitcoin. I shut it down and recently started again. Now mainly for my own good node, and if I earn enough fees to cover costs, I’m happy.

I think it’s both fun and a way to contribute to decentralization.

I also have a small core Lightning node just for incoming payments from Ocean from my miners (used to heat the apartment).
