precisely. Have a channel with only a few thousand in sats to accept those zaps. my node functions as the middle man. I have a custodial extension wallet (getalby.com) all my zaps go there to an easy to read human readable address. then i send those to my node periodically and perform an onchain transaction to a wallet with private keys stored on a hardware wallet.

Weather my node is on 24/7 or not doesnt really matter anymore.

But it is where i connect all my main wallets to.

Not your node, not your rules.
