When I was new to lightning I thought I could open a generational channel and just make payments for free for life and collect routing fees and everything would be dandy

Well that was a fairy tale

Was just looking at Lightning apps in the nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll Marketplace and wondering which way to go. You’ve got me second guessing now.

Do you think it’s still worth for learning?

I have met many plebs who lost money on lightning because it was too hard to recover when node crashed

Yup; lost 1M-2M sats myself. NEVER run a node on a Raspberry Pi. 😅
