Mining pools really took Satoshi Nakamoto by surprise: originally, he assumed that Bitcoin would be secured by solo miners competing with their computers' processing power.
But as nostr:npub1q3t5ttqwjzjrv9q68twaj4t4ct4dg7mp8azjsu5rukqzlalan87s57u7l3 proved in 2010, a collaborative approach makes more sense and helps small players get more frequent (albeit smaller) rewards.
Listen to S15 E8 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast (featuring Ryan Condron) to learn more about the early years of Bitcoin mining!

Holy smokes. So funny. Haha. <3
Yeah you can totally smash some leaves up in a bottle and spray other plants with the solution, but many excess bugs will just head to the plant themselves and get stuck underneath the leaves as they are super sticky. Humans can do the same thing: 'Hey this is cool and makes me feel funny' then #dead. Lololol.
But also, dang. :-)
Not sure re where to get the seeds. These grow wildly here. We just reposition them near evidently vulnerable plants. They throw seeds absolutely everywhere. :P

You would avoid using lightning if you wanted to avoid using a hot wallet. Lololol.
A good offline signing device should be used with your node (proper base layer, not lightning). If it isn't, you are using someone else's node and they have all your current and future addresses.
Protect your zpubs folks.
Personal Nodes and Airgapped Signing Devices = Flens.
Running your own node means serving yourself your own addys from your zpub/xpub/ypub. It does not necessitate a hot wallet. Perhaps you are thinking of a lightning node (which I hear is in the phone. Lolol).
Never put your seed words into anything other than an air-gapped signing device, your brain, or a sheet of metal. Running a node is easier than you think, too. Even if you don't have it running all the time.
Bitcoin Core. Sparrow Wallet. Go!
