What do you mean? Did you waste sats rebalancing all the time?
According to the Lightning Labs terminal, nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t (the node) is still not profitable after four years. In fact, in terms of routing and channel fees, itβs over 1 million sats in the red, which I attribute to some force closures during the high-fee environment over a year ago, not to mention some dumb mistakes I made along the way.
No one said attempting to earn passive yield would be easy, but itβs been a great education so far.

I used to. Now I just have it set on autofees, but I was late to the game. In the interest in helping other people get off the ground, I opened a lot of smallish channels instead of a few massive ones which is where the real fee jackpots are, as Iβve been told.
