Remember, remember, the fifth of November

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

Bad time to start a new LN node hahaha.

Why!! at this time hahaha hard time to be on fasting <3

I am not an Umbrel user, but I think it has a lot of tools. If you are in a good hardware, try to install and learn LNDg, test for a month and look how it handle the prices. It's not a must that you put all your channels 50/50, you are going to have some outbound/inbound focus.

Try to focus in the quality of your channels, in the other end is a stable node? Try to batch the open channel to don't paid too much in fees.

At first, the most important thing is to try to recover your expenses, how much cost the open channel? what bandwidth have? how many forwards I am going to need to do to recover for the sats I spend?

Few and bigger channels are better in this stage. What is your pub key? now I am curious hahaha.

It's a market, you need to test prices and discover what works. LNDg automatize that, it's too heavy in my view for a Tor node without a clearnet connection, but it's the easy way.

The others script, it's more custom and if you don't want to learn it's going to be hard to adapt. Umbrel is an easy setup node, so it's better to use the tool available.

Right now there is no "I am going to be rich routing in LN", if someone tell you that... I am sorry. It's hard work and you need a lot of capital.

Do you want to be a router node? or only use LN to buy/sell services? If it's the first one, be ready to lost a lot.
