That's going to depend a lot on how much your family is using Lightning.

I have 7 channels and about 20 million sats total liquidity, with just a bit more of that being outbound than inbount. But then, I use Lightning WAY more than the rest of my family that is sharing the node. It's probably more than we need, honestly.

Thanks!

Probably similar. At least for now.

I guess as you are the main user of your node, you dont have to rebalance that often, or?

And do you think a home node would also be sufficient for a starting side project? I dont want to invest into anything serious until I dont see interest. A home node is already an "investment" anyway.

I just vibelined a vertex DVM search app without touching a single key.

Literally only recorded a voice memo and saved it on my phone.

Which went to my old laptop via syncthing

WTF!? What is vibeline tho?

If tariffs stay for China, will it mean chinese stuff produced for US will hit other countries markets?

Yes, but they were very new channels. You also aren't "asking." You just open the channel. If they don't want to keep it, they just close it.

Thanks! And how about inbound liquidity?

Replying to

Very easily.

When you asked to connect, you already had connected with other bitcoiners, right?

Replying to

Setting up and maintaining good liquidity on your Lightning node is absolutely the biggest hurdle for regular folks running their own Lightning node. All of that can be obfuscated away with custodial Lightning, or semi-custodial Lightning+Liquid, though.

"Who do you connect to?"

This largely depends on your reason for running a node. If it is as a commercial business, paying for incoming liquidity from reliable liquidity provider is probably a good route to go, but yes, it has a cost. You are asking them to lock up scarce sats into a channel with you that they could be putting to other use.

If you are running a personal node, connecting to other plebs you know who already run a node is a great option, and connecting to a couple other larger nodes that are run by services you use. For instance, I have a channel with ACINQ because I also use Phoenix wallet, and I have a channel with Boltz.exchange because I use them for transferring back and forth between Lightning and on-chain.

"Why would they connect to you?"

If you are opening a channel to another node, you are providing them incoming liquidity. Most folks appreciate that. They may close the channel if they notice that no transactions are ever routed through it after a bit of time, though, as it indicates that you aren't well connected enough for them to receive through you.

Did ACINQ connect with you easily?

We’ve wanted to add gifting in nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 for so long but the constraints to do it with the tools we had were insurmountable.

Cashu fixed it.

Gifting? In what sense?

It also seems hard to be valuable liquidity. Because for that you need well connected channels to be routed through, I guess. But for that you need to find the channel partners. And in the beginning you wont be a good partner, I guess, because you wont have from 1sec to another ebough channels.

What is a rule of thumb in your opinion for number of channels and channel liquidity for a family node?

#asknostr

Is opening channels a big drawback of lightning?

Lets say you are a merchant, and you want to accept sats on the lightning network. You decide to run your own node. Who do you connect to? Why would they connect to you?

Or lets say, you are me, and planning to make a home node for yourself and immediate friends and family. Who do you connect to? Why would they connect to you?

I know there are LSPs but they seem to be expensive for the first setup. Arent they? Maybe for a merchant can be an option, but for a home node?
