Profitable lightning node is not a thing unless you that big company Phoenix wallet uses i forgot the name
Discussion
what? 😅
nostr:npub1q8gth72n0mcl6rwls905rsvfvuu0dgaq7cq028rc9d7c3ygnp4xq84awvk any advice for this fellow ⚡️node runner
Yea I think he’s right
Large LSPs
Lightning service providers
Like Zeus uses Olympus
That may be profitable
But from what I understand it’s extremely difficult to make money from a small routing node.
There are plenty of other reasons to do it.
But not necessarily profitability….
yes thats why i am still running one
and i came really far i guess
but maybe i could tune it a little more
nostr:npub1ysxnqpymj6tq9cvqc6xfsughar0vkynxtyxqjaud5e5hq88cvf2qehzld9 might have some helpful advice
Idk
Most lightning nodes are not profitable. To be profitable, you gotta be a hustler, be able to find gaps in the lightning network (hard) and have lots of capital deployed.
I run my lightning node to be fully self sovereign with lightning and to be able to run services for my family and friends like lnbits :)
