Is it worth even running a lightning node in 2025. Can I just give ocean a bolt12 invoice from a mobile wallet? It should work from Zeus right? That’s the only reason I’m really running my own. That and I want to have the experience. #asknostr

That requires background wakeups

Hmmm yeah that makes sense now.

I think for bolt12 you need to use phoenix wallet, not Zeus.

Running your own node is like painting your own pixel, it’s about sovereignty, not just convenience. But yeah, Ocean + Zeus should work fine if you’re just chasing invoices. Still, nothing beats the raw thrill of routing your own sats.

It's risker to run your own lightning node. It sucks, but that's my assessment.

I don’t mind the risk. I just want it to let me send payments larger than 100 sats 😆
