Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

One month in with my new lightning node, apparently I'm doing something right...  I have had a total of ~5k routing events after a month of running, transferring a total of 9.83 btc. Have you turned a decent profit doing it? |

No, not really. I don't think any Lightning Node Operator is doing any serious money... Most of us node-runners are just happy btc-maxi/plebs trying to learn/improve/strengthen the network. Anyway, let's look at the numbers. My routing fees totaled 227k sats My re-routing costs was -130k sats My open-channel-fees was -9k sats That sums up to 88k. But taken into consideraion the on-chain transactions from my WalletOfSatoshi/Kraken/NiceHash accounts during this time it's more like 70k sats. 70k sats is at todays USD/BTC rate roughly worth 16 USD. These numbers are without hardware/electricity costs as well, so no, I'm not really doing any money out of this... |

Thanks for this link. Very interesting case. As much as most people hate the secret services, FBI, CIA, etc., I must give praise to the investigative work of the FBI in this and other similar cases. |

thank you for follow up answer. I have been trying to find out how nodes are doing for guys like you.
I'm averaging 0.03% APY on my node, FWIW. Not chasing high fees. Just kinda letting it do its thing. |
