I'm going to start an experiment with my start9 today to make a fully sovereign zapper node with some small non-routing channels now that start9 OS has nostr wallet connect as a service. Gonna experiment to see what small package of channels will work for sending and receiving zaps to the node. I'll write something up in detail if there is any interest 😃

Can you explain the channel part?
I have set up the relay + nostrudel + LN node + wallet connect; and it just works, no need to set up specific channels to zap (nor I know how to do it / what benefits it might have)
I want to make a small grouping of channels, say 3 to 5 small balance channels that is sufficient for sending and receiving zaps directly to the node. The experiment might be interesting for those wanting a node that is ok to be exposed publically but is minimal risk due to small balance of bitcoin, eliminates custodial or LSP mobile node usage, and still gives you the user experiemce of custodial / LSP mobile node . This will also be particularly interesting to start9 users in my opinion because start9 is unique in that you can run LND and CLN concurrently. So, you could have a larger more private lightning node running on CLN, complimented by an LND node that is more public, works great for zapping and eliminates using custodians or LSP mobile nodes.
