One more tip for future node owners.

Saving for the hardware and thinking that you can have a node once you install all needed software, is not sufficient! You will need to find your node with some bitcoin to have outbound and inbound liquidity. Every channel you open, “converts” onchain funds into LN sats. Whatever your put into it, will define how big your channel will be. For inbound, you can purchase liquidity, but that will not allow you to send, only receive.

Good advice! This is one part of it that I didn’t fully understand before I started!

Lol! Me too! People don’t realize this and ask for zaps to build their node. Then what? Channel-less node! 🐶🐾😂🤣😂🫂

Even when I started opening my initial channels I found that I still couldn’t reliably send because I hadn’t picked good well connected nodes. Once it started to work though I got addicted to opening channels, lol. Now I don’t have any issues sending!

I have to many inbound channels with little outbound to shuffle around them! I think I spent too much on Magma 🐶🐾🤣😂🫂

I tried Magma for the first time a couple of days ago. Mine is pretty well balanced with inbound vs outbound at the moment.

I need to wait another month and hope that fiat->bitcoin will not go to high to do that! 🐶🐾😭
