What a journey! My first lightning node, five months ago, was a complete failure, but I learned so much in the process. One major lesson I learned is that a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM is not an optimal setup for a professional routing node.
These days, I route several bitcoins per day, contributing to the network at a small profit.
All of this wouldn’t be possible without the help of other noderunners, particularly a German group of professional peers organised as #blitzdinge.
Thank you so much, and I hope I can contribute back soon!
