On many of my lightning channels I charge no fee. On some high traffic channels (that are not mainly streaming payments, or channels with a country that NEEDS BTC (Cuba, ES, Afghanistan, Venezuela)) I charge an absolutely minimal fee, in theory to discourage attacks, though I am not sure if 2 satoshis is enough to have an anti-spam effect on a ~$500 payment, lol... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fo7KdnHT.png&t=665&c=PdCAulLsSDfi7A) Who says lightning can only handle very small payments? My little computer the size of an Altoids tin routed a successful >1000000 sat payment! And does frequently. And I rake in a whopping $0.00097. It'll take more than 100 of these to make me a whole penny. I am watching my traffic very carefully, and it is most certainly increasing. My channel with Podcast Index is my favourite with payments commonly between 1-3 satoshis. I have records of facilitating payments EACH SECOND to this node at 3 satoshis each... This is letting a podacaster earn $5hr for their content instead of the $3/hr they would earn if each of the forwards I took just 1 SAT. Yes, I am losing potential revenue... But I am also avoiding having to report that as income lol. And my very biggest reason to do it is to make it possible for these pioneers to spin this thing up and make it work. Here is a fun little segment from my logs... with some of the sensitive info XXXX'd out. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) 3 sats per second! My raspberryPi is helping make streaming payment possible!!!! 1630014001,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:40,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013942,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:39,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013881,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:38,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013825,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:37,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013762,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:36,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013701,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:35,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013640,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:34,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013582,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:33,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013519,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:31,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013461,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:31,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013401,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:30,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013341,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:29,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013282,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:28,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013221,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:27,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013162,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:26,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013103,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:25,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630013040,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:24,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012981,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:23,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012922,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:22,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012862,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:21,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012802,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:20,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012740,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:19,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012683,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:18,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012622,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:17,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012563,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:16,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012500,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:15,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012374,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:12,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012314,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:11,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012255,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:10,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012194,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:09,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012135,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:08,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012075,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:07,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630012014,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:06,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630011955,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:05,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index 1630011894,redctdIncomingNode,redctdOutgoingNode,3,3,0,0,3000,3000,26/AUG/2021 22:04,XxXxX.com / XXXXXORIGNNODE,Podcast Index I am certainly not against lightning node operators making money for routing payments... But I have to admit, I wonder if there are more people like me out there if it will make this catch on a little quicker? I'm setting my Umbrel node at the moment. I plan to do the same, encourage use through low fees. I used all of their recommended hardware but am ordering a new SSD to USB chord to replace the case and a new power chord that is the official Raspberry Pi one. It tends to disconnect from the SSD from time to time. The blocks are taking a long time to load due to either low bandwidth or some bottleneck between Panama and the peer nodes. Hopefully my node will help any future Panama nodes. I look forward to using sphinx chat. May set up a seastead tribe for chatting.
