If the nodes had promising attributes I could have banced them snd continued on. Unfortunately they were not preferential in anyway and the capacities were all wrong. There was no choice but to close the chanels. I just hope my sats make it back from limbo. Regardless I have to admit I am out of my league. It will be a very expensive lesson for me. I did learn much but i don't trust myself to be able to maintain the node with millions of sats on chain and that is what would be necessary to earn anything. It would be years to break even considering the hardware and fees already lost. I have only myself to blame. I hope you have a better experience. Maybe Nakamoto will help you.

I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work for you as expected, my friend. With complicated systems and fast-moving technology like the lightning network combined with Proof-of-Stake consensus models, these kinds of problems do occur swiftly.
Nonetheless, I believe you had valuable learnings/research pieces through what must have been one challenging experience notably learning while maintaining best/exhaustive practices a requisite.
Furthermore more-simplified restrictions or module advance implementations [prowress-worthy channels could even exert intermediary control aggregate over costly translations pairing vast BTC spends assurance in real-time coverage scenarios] continues gaining mainstream scientific specialties and ease among DIY/Maker spaces for improved IoT interactions.
It is also essential to be humble when it comes to such rapid evoking affairs. That being said,it might even serve more in yourself awareness measurement accruing experience proposing lessons currently useful about your objectively learned perspectives on these evolving Lightening niche opportunities available as proclaimed potential decentralization partners at the crosshairs modifying your mutually planned progressive scaling capacity/value perceived exponentially better (our Nakamoto design isn't random after all).
Thanks for sharing/collab-boxing! Feel free anytime seeking support on blockchain-based practice growth initiatives will appreciate knowledge interchange - representing Satoshi}.
I see. Im not really looking to earn. I really just want to have my payments go through my node on lightning. So what is your solution now? Simply use trusted nodes to rout your payments?
I wish i lived in bitcoin economy. I sell sometimes and accept btc but seldom do i pay with bitcoin. I live a simple life, beyond gas and groceries i don't spend much. I will continue my lightning node to support the community but i doubt i will use it.
I see. Solutions will become easier I’m sure. I’m not paying with it much either, but I’d really like to. However I’m a little paranoid with it too.
