Great stuff ⚡️
I am actually planning to run my own node soon 💪 have already sourced an old mini pc. Just need to safe a little more for a reasonable harddrive/ssd 💾

You’ll need a lot of sats to open channels, so don’t forget to badger for that! Node needs liquidity! 🐶🐾🫡
What’s a lot of sats?
Depends on the size of a channel you want to open! Big players have minimums. Some allow small channels some start at 5 to 10 million! 🐶🐾🫡
Oh, thanks for the hint… so i need to save more 😅
I’d say plan to have at least 5-10m to stay comfortable. You can still do it with much less, but not much will happen. Remember that every transaction that passes through your node, cannot be larger than what you have in your in and out channels’ liquidity! 🐶🐾🫡
