Can you share how much did you earn from it over the years and how much you spent?

EARNINGS: BALLPARK, ABOUT 250K SATS

EXPENSES: EASILY LOST 4-5X THAT AMOUNT FROM FORCE CHANNEL CLOSINGS ALONE OVER THE YEARS. NOT TO MENTION THE TIME AND AGGRAVATION FROM SEVERAL MULTIDAY EPISODES OF TROUBLESHOOTING DURING OUTAGES / PROBLEMS KEEPING THE NODE ITSELF OPERATIONAL.

OVERALL A HUGE NEGATIVE ROI. EDUCATIONAL THO.

No one appreciates lightning node operators.

So you lost a total of ~250 USD in value from running a node for a couple years?

Honestly, this seems like a rounding error to me.

I’m in a similar situation. The dollar value may be a rounding error, the time spent on maintenance is a sunk cost.

Hey, @JT dude, better check your math.🤔🧐

JT 1y ago

Oh sorry, so you lost a few million sats at most, over the course of a few years?

Are you trolling?

Mildly.
