The Wall: March Update #ItsOver9000
Forwards: 9714
Volume: ~13 BTC (~130% of local)
Terminal Rank: 17
This was our best month ever in terms of number of forwards, volume, and profit; depsite some expensive force-closes. I attribute most of the success to the rapid proliferation of nostr and their #zapathon (hi #plebchain ), and to a new node management tool.
In February we started using a new feature in Lightning Terminal (LiT), called Autopilot Autofees. You can find it in LiT by clicking the Loop tab, and then Autopilot. Set the slider to enable, and then unselect (with the lightning bolt toggle) any channels for which you want to maintain manual fee control, and save.
Autopilot, in their own words: "allows for automated node management. With the Autofees feature, users can enable automatic, dynamic channel fee setting. This feature can significantly reduce the maintenance overhead for managing a node, improve fee earnings, and improve the balance of funds on a node." Autofees will run its fee adjustment algorithm every three days, and record those changes in the LiT UI, under Home > Autopilot. If you check out the Forwards tab, you can see some nice stats and a graph of your fee earnings over time. If you want to disable autofees on a channel, or globally, you can do that with a couple of clicks.
We have been using the tool to augment our standard administration practices with great success. We run autofees on almost every channel and we are looking forward to the future of LiT. If you want to check it out, v0.9.0-alpha just dropped yesterday (you will need lnd v0.16.0-beta).
Reading this post back, it sounds like we are shilling the crap out of this thing, but I assure you that we have received zero compensation. Its just a good tool.

Not yet. Just finished the upgrade. Have you tried it?
Who has a nice list of Bitcoin and lightning folks on nostr?
I’m mainly looking for folks with some clout but if you know a cool pleb then drop their @
Bullish af on LDK.
“Though LDK isn't a node per se, developers can build custom Lightning nodes that suit their needs with it. But the freedom LDK provides is too intimidating for developers who are newer to building on the network, Lee noted in the Twitter spaces.
A key feature on the roadmap is LDK Node Mobile, which offers an easier set-up for creating a node. Nodes are a key piece of any Lightning app. They connect the app to the rest of the network, allowing users to send and receive payments. Instead of it taking developers days or weeks to build a node with LDK, Lee argues LDK Node will shrink down this time to hours.”

The more implementations the better!
Really looking forward to this Friday for the month’s #NodeRunnerRecap
Maybe our best month ever in multiple categories.
What’s a “local zap notification “?
I read this yesterday along with the notion it can read from the web. It declined to do either for me.
Got any suggestions?
That’s a dope Bitcoin shrine. Can we see a wider shot of that wall?
This guy made a better attempt to change the code than Greenpeace
I’m big in #zapan

It’s really not. There are plenty of privacy concerns with lightning, but this isn’t one. Have one private channel, or private channels with 10 nodes, it all looks the same to them.
They wouldn’t know it’s your only channel
Please elaborate
Get yourself a lightning node. A raspberry pi with a single private channel to a well connected node will do. From your private node, make an SSH tunnel that forwards port 10009 to a public server. You can get a VPS for 5/mo. Get a domain. Install rustdress on your server. Accept #zapathon zaps directly to your private node. No custodial wallet required.
I love getting 1 sat zaps. It’s a huge flex on traditional finance.
