PSA for Public node runners:

If you want to became some kind of "profitable node" listen to my advice:

- run a very good node, with good connections, stable, not mobile

- have large liquidity, I mean LARGE not joking with 1M sats channels

- provide channels as LSP for private nodes like Zeus, Blixt, Mutiny and all others that can open channels to any node

- provide good routing fees for private channels

- yes, charge a fee to open a private channel, it is normal that, because we know that there are costs in maintaining private channels. Privacy is not free.

- offer good timing to maintain those channels alive and not close them.

- if you can offer swaps between LN-onchain that will be a plus

- if you can offer inbound channels that will be a plus

- take care of your private peers because they will be like your "secret" customers that will bring you a lot of traffic.

More private LSPs = more decentralized LN

You don't have to be a real public LSP, is enough to be for your friends and family.
