GM! Today is my new LN node’s half-year anniversary! 🐶🐾🫡☕️🎉⚡️🔥☢️
3rd attempt and Eclair seemed to work the best! Routed 26,564 transactions totaling 1,112,422,986 sats! (11BTC). Low fees so still in red by a large margin 🐶🐾😂😂😂

In the red after 11btc fees earned? Wow
11btc routed, not earned 🐶🐾😂. And yes, opening and closing channels is not cheap and fees are low if I want to see any flow
Can you explain? Wouldn't assume running a node costs a lot?
When the fees are high and you open and close channels, it costs a lot. One channel can cost 10-50K easily. Not fees are OK but you still will pay 1-3K (depending on the state of your UTXOs) per outbound channel, and much more if you purchase some on Magma 🐶🐾🫡
