Yes, LNDg is a massive part of my noderunning. It’s the one piece of software I literally couldn’t run my node without (After LND and Bitcoind of course!). But I have mostly backed away from automation in favor of manual control.

I have used automation in the past and it’s a great tool for hammock mode and minimal intervention strategy. I averaged about 3% over the past few months.

Lately my strategy has relied heavily on LOOP. The last two weeks fees (and volumes) are absolutely through the roof. With the new strategy I am having to do a lot more hands on approach, adjusting fees more often and managing much larger liquidity swings in both directions.
