A question to the pleb community.

Some services (e.g. nostr:npub1zv7d9l5ac0zdzeh5mzfyaegcdgcwn8m2uaxdpsj93hgp4nqjmd0s6k82ke ) allow the stacking of sats directly to a lightning wallet.

If you stack these sats directly to your lightning node, then it should improve the routing and capacity of this node.

So why not stack directly to the own node and have a win/win situation:

- increased bag with its seed

- continuity increasing capacity of the lightning node for better routing

Have I made a mistake in my thinking?

When stacking sats directly to your Lightning Node, the KYC operator (like Pocket Bitcoin) can see your Lightning Node.

It might be good to use a completely new Zeus Wallet, use it via VPN and receive it via a Simple Taproot Channel opened via LSP.

I’m still a lightning novice so definitely do your own research but one concern I have about this approach is safety of your stacked sacks on your lightning node. I’ve heard lightning nodes referred to as fundamentally hot wallets because of having private key on the computer or phone. This would put your sats at more risk than if the private key was in a hardware wallet like a coldcard. This may be schemes where you can separate the lightning node from the private key and that would be worth looking into. However, I am concerned that the lightning node couldn’t function automatically without the private key being with the node.
