4 years ago I set up my primary lightning node hosted server.

I funded it with several coins, figuring better to have too much liquidity than not enough.

I opened dozens of channels under the same assumption.

Over the years I've barely touched it other than to update release versions.

Today it only has half a dozen channels due to peers disappearing or closing channels, but the value of my liquidity is higher than ever, so I don't see a need to open more channels.

Which begs the question: is this centralization? 🧐

Centralization?

It might come to that. Not everyone is willing to lose money running a lightning node.

I didn't do the maths, can it be profitable?

Good evening #nostr
