One month in with my new lightning node, apparently I'm doing something right... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2Fg7Yp6Vb%2Fkrubnode.png&t=663&c=bp--J2wW3xY_cw) 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.
