I don’t know if it’s just me, but every time someone closes a channel to my node, I feel like throwing a towel in and giving up on a whole LN node running thing. It’s not like it pays for itself or free of risks or maintenance. I don’t know, just wanted to share my feelings 🐶🐾🫂

Running an ln node is brutal with fighting balanced liquidity, bugs, forced closes. I need an AI copilot for these headaches.

Totally agree. I’ve lost more on all the balancing and opening channels just to keep peers happy, than I can hope to recover. 🐶🐾🫂😭

Same, profitable node is for 1%, not me in the current state.

True! All I want is for it not to lose sats at least, and be able to pay or receive payments when I need it 🐶🐾🤣🫂

Why do you think balancing is hard?

Here is what I do typically:

Just start with a large channel, make a big dend or loop back on chain if wanted, then send and recieve to the same channels regularly.

I personally like phoenix or muun if I need to get some inbound. On a new channel.
