Thanks for the tip but it seems that it still involves a custodial element which I want to avoid especially if I was to start accumulating #zaps over a long period of time. I felt the pain when my Twitter account to which I had invested a lot of time was gone overnight with no option to recover it. That’s why I’m on #nostr so I don’t want to reproduce the same mistake when it comes to how I secure my funds on this platform. Unfortunately, running my own channel isn’t an option I’d consider so I guess no #lightning zaps for me…

Well, I think you should reconsider. It's as simple as click one button. After that, you won't have to do anything.

Zeus, Phoenix, Blixt, probably others, all have one click LSP channel setups. You click button, wait a few minutes, start zapping. They are set and forgot.

You're not running a public routing node. Public routing nodes have very different channel setups that require constant maintenance and rebalancing and you'd have to be insane to want to run one of them. Only Bitcoin Maxi's that are into self flagellation run public routing nodes.

You'll be using a private, non-routing non-custodial wallet on a phone. They're really simple to use.

Ok, I wasn’t aware of the distinction between public routing nodes and private non-routing nodes. What would be the cons of running a private non-routing nodes versus running a public routing node? Particularly, are there any risks of loss of funds?
