Some risk? Sir, you have approaching 15 Bitcoin in total capacity. Even assuming only ~1/2 of that is on your side of any given channel, that is far more money in a hot wallet than most plebs even own, let alone would be willing to have in a hot wallet.

So it's not just time and effort and decent hardware that is needed to run a profitable routing node. It's also a decent amount of capital outside of cold storage.

Absolutely 💯 true.

(ps. I have FARRR less than 1/2 total capacity on my side though.🙀 also one of the most profitable nodes I know of BY FAR has less than 1BTC in *total* capacity, ymmv)
