yeah the mempool is regularly clearing it's nice
do you think LN is kind of clunky still?
it's cool technology but there needs to be some efficiency upgrades for it to be easy for the average user
Running an LND (Lightning network node) AMA

Do you make money off the nodes? I'm working with solidity still but its getting boring, this looks like a fun project.
Josiah Price
Why? No one uses it and it doesn't make any money, right?
Thomas Rogers
that would be sweet
I didn't know anything about coding but followed the guide and got it working
it's a lot of fun and I still have a lot to learn
Jordan Robinson
Total horseshit

Do you get a rebate for s o ylent if you prove you run a lnd node?
Did you set up your node in your cuck shed? Is the shed comfy? How many bitcoin stickers does it have?
Christian Bennett
I'd definitely say it's clunky, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of bitcoin/crypto until I got started.
In theory, if you have a set of large, well connected channels with decent uptime, you could make quite a bit of coin running an LN node.
Things working against this currently:
* Routing isn't perfect, lots of kinks to work out on that front
* With many small channels it's many large tx's fail, and therefore it's hard to collect high fees from those.
It seems you should prioritize getting your node used, then gradually rake up fees as you get established as a useful node.
Ideally with more users it would be more useful.

So for now you're mostly running this node for fun and to learn more about lightning?
