That sathoarder guy. Feel free to use my strfry relay at: wss://nostr.sathoarder.com It's free.

The node I added the channel from is LND. I had to try 3 times to add as peer and the open negotiation took an extraordinarily long time and it's a clearnet connection. But the channel is open and actuve now.

Fees are high and you can only have a channel to ACINQ's LSP. That's what I don't like about it.

But for self custody wallet, it's pretty good and easy to use.

You can run both at the aame time. If they're someone else's wallets you could always credit them in a newer wallet with an admin topup. After all the lnbits or lndhub wallets are just a database entry. A spendable amount from the nodes wallet, so to speak.

The api has definitely stood the test of time! It's really handy like you say for things like alby or btcpayserver or just a buddy you might want to let use your node.

Still, look into running your own instance of lnbits, its vastly more functional and can connect to alby the same way.

It definitely adds yet another layer of complexity. It is nice for uncle jim setups but really, I'm not a big fan anyome even though I run an instance of it myself. I think for an abstraction layer, lnbits is a better choice. It's not without risks but it is actively developed where LNDHUB is kind of abandoned. There is an LNDHUB extension in lnbits that can completely replace the original.

I have yet to make any real money on routing but my nodes do route quite a bit. Just gets eaten up in fees eventually opening new channels.

Yes sir, they actually did it

It's SUPER COOL that the strike node now supports peerswap with both BTC and LBTC! nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle, Thank you man! This so fucking awesome!

Any company that would restrict a payment from a self custodied wallet would be a no-go for me.
