As far as profitability goes with running a routing lightning node, it’s seeming the key is to only maintain large channels to keep rebalancing needs to a minimum, i.e. to accumulate enough routing fees before needing to rebalance. Any vets out there have any input on this or am I missing anything obvious?

use Lightning Loop to enable AutoFees which will automatically adjust fees to signal to others on the network that your channels are running out of liquidity. The less you have available, the higher the fee to use up your remaining balance. Helps with the rebalance should you need to. I don’t find myself needing to rebalance ever. I think look at what you need for your monthly inbound and outbound liquidity, and then open a couple of channels that are 5x or 10x what you need and see how the flow performs over a few days.

Is Lightning Loop an extra piece of software or something to enable in the config of my node? I only ask because currently I’m running my node through Umbrel. Sounds like a decent solution though wasn’t aware this existed.

I think it’s called Lightning Terminal in the Umbrel AppStore
