Who is really still running and managing own lightning node channels in 2024?
Who gave up on their ‚be your own bank with lightning node management with a raspberry pi’ way?

Just for fun and education.
I learned a lot with my first raspiblitz and 2 channels 🤓
Fun and education… the 2 remaining areas where Lightning exist 😅
you have to explain that? 🤔
Non custodial lightning is hard to achieve. Only a very small group is still focused on that at all.
‚Fun and learning‘ is still left but freedom, privacy or self-custody isn‘t around anymore … at least not in an amount or scale I and most expected it in 2019-2020.
freedom and privacy always matters. But I understand your point of view
I use lightning daily (mostly around nostr… and for fun and education) and I love it in a way but can‘t stop criticizing it as it sucks big at the same time.
All together it gives me more headaches than freedom.
I pay for most things onchain. More reliable, more security, more privacy.
running one on my phone instead.
Anyone who has a Raspberry Pi or has to "manage" their channels is probably doing it wrong.
True
That would be me.
