What $600? A NUC is $200. I am charging 10 ppm on my node and you want me to pay them 4000 ppm on lightning? NO. I drain the WOS when I have enough sats donβt you worry about it. π

You seem to not understand that ACINQ users donβt want to handle buying a NUC +additional SSD, installing the software and dealing with all the problems associated, opening channels and managing liquidity.
A plug and play node could maybe do the work for the most curious among them, but itβs between 400 and 600 USD not 200 (see Umbrel home) and others.
They want a download, click send/receive non custodial LN wallet. Youβll have to spend at least 50000 USD before your cheap NUC solution matches the 0,4% fees of ACINQ π
$50000? What r u even talking about? Lightning is supposed to be cheap and easy. Running a node is not hard and it is fun. All the sats you are paying ACINQ might be worth a lot in the future, but like I said you do you. I think this is a rip off and NO, You are not going to change my mind. π
