I’ll be moving my hashrate to ocean mining to try and mine the halving block for the sole reason of blocking inscriboors from getting the mythical halving sat and perpetuating the myth that sats are unique.

The largest lightning channel is 14 BTC. I’ve personally made payments over 0.5 BTC with Lightning.

2023-12-18 14:00:32 UTC

One benefit to a high-fee mempool is that not many new channels are being opened, and some desirable payment destinations need more liquidity. If you're brave enough to open new channels, there could be decent fee-earnings on the table. Focus your effort:

The Wall is leaning out our channels and opening a few new ones. You may have also noticed that our minimum is now 10M too.
If you’re a serious noderunner and 10M is too high, drop me a dm and maybe we can work something out. No balanced opens for the time being though.

Not bad, mate. There is two-way flow and that’s the ideal scenario.

2023-07-30 02:54:19 UTC

It took over a year to get The Wall where it is. We route thousands of payments per week and earn enough for it to be worth the time.
The fun thing about routing on LN is that you’re never done. A new channel somewhere out there can snatch your best source of earnings, or maybe a good peer closes up shop. The most successful node runners seek out new sources of income and aren’t afraid to close stagnant channels.
Roll with the punches, adjust your strategy, and have fun building.

Look this up on a map. It’s a very short stretch of road between some businesses, so you shouldn’t be getting up to speed. Also notice that the tire marks go way past the crosswalk, so if they were slamming on the breaks for a pedestrian, they definitely got hit. There is a stop sign here too. I don’t think it matters if it’s a rainbow or a UK flag, the intention is to deface it.

The Wall: April Update #BabyWatch
Forwards: 10700
Volume: ~15 BTC
Terminal Rank: 13
In April we continued to hit new highs for number of forwards, volume, and profit.
We did a lot of swaps this month; pushing liquidity out to good sources and letting it flow back and out expensive channels. With the on-chain funds we tested selling liquidity on Pool via Lightning Terminal, and it was very profitable.
One aspect of the node that I want to work on in May is our centrality. We're in the 88th percentile, so there is lots of room for improvement. Hopefully an increase in centrality will put us into position to route more payments. You can help, and improve your own centrality, by opening channels to us too.
Give me a little more time to respond to your DMs in May. Mrs. The Wall and I will be on baby watch very soon.

Sometimes I get DMs asking if I want to open a balanced channel. It’s interesting that if I say no, the person doesn’t open to me anyway. If you don’t think my node is a good peer, why offer the balanced channel? If you just want inbound, I’ll sell it to you and you don’t need to lock up any funds.

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.
