Run a lightning node? It looks like a fun project but I don't fancy all the channel management etc. To be honest, zaps are the first way iv been able to actually use ln. When retailers start accepting it I will spin up a node, but till then I just see cost and no utility.

It’s not as hard as you think if you don’t want to rely on managing channels.

A single private channel to a well connected peer will suffice for those sweet #zaps to/from your own node.

That sounds reassuringly simple!

Yup, don’t need to route payments if you don’t want to.

All under your control with private channels.

I'll look into it when I have a spare machine to run it on 😁
