I was chatting finances with a co worker yesterday.
So with the pump and all, I asked him if he thought I was a lunatic for rambling on about bitcoin.
He replied "nevermind bitcoin, I’ve always considered you a lunatic"

GO BITCOIN

a "premature" Sunday haiku regarding developments that i am not a part of...so..there is NO endorsement here, just a statement of recent events:

ExtraORDInary:
SATS are TRACing RATS somewhere
deep in outer SPACE


haha...that said...That $622 node/small miner is cool.
1tb disk seems enough for now (maybe for 4-5 years longer), but a question to those who run a node: is pruning to reduce the size OK to do once you downloaded the whole chain?
Thinking of starting running a node, at least from time to time.

While we wait for the "tearing down of the 48K wall".... here is an update of my LN Node....

While I wasn't able to push my LN node above 1,000,000,000 Sats (10BTC). Came very close, at one stage hitting 924,288,114 Sats. Currently sitting at 912,288,113 sat. Still have 2-3 BTC to throw at it... But was caught out by this mempool...

Finally had a full month to analysis the impact of doubling the capacity of my LN Node...

Current Capacity: 912,288,113 sat
Current Channel Count: 156

November Routing Stats
Number of Transaction: 7,298
Total Amount Routed: 1,042,341,115 Sats (10.42BTC)
Total Fees Collected: 25,094 Sats
Channel Opening Cost: Lots
Channel Closing Cost: Too Much!!! (one forced close cost me about 38,000 Sats)

September Routing Stats (Before Push)
Number of Transaction: 4,114
Total Amount Routed: 631,392,125 Sats (6.31BTC)
Total Fees Collected: 25,094 Sats

This month is looking busy.... averaging 320 transactions and 1,200 Sats collected a day

NOTE: lnd doesn't do RBF, but CPFP, which is a form for fee bumping... was able to use it to confirm the old transactions that were stuck for months. Downside, lnd will not initiate the channels after a certain period of time (14 Days). Channel needs to be forced closed, it will automatically assign a fee that will include it in the next few blocks, resulting in much higher fees per vByte.

Still not profitable (again, this was never meant to be a way to accumulate more Bitcoins), still more to do, still need to weed out some channels that are stagnant, but very hard to do anything with mempool being this congested! Well not hard, just expensive!

so you are getting hammered at this. even with 400k invested


the mine has about 600k in it and it is finally picking up we will earn more in dec then we did in any month since early 2022.

Once it reaches 50K, all the grandmas and taxi drivers fomo in, then one sells.
Then when it dumps back to 40K, one buys those coins back.
Not rocket science.

I will still be Hodling at 50k.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm also running a LN node (goblin-no.de), and we have a channel together. My node is turning 1 year next month, but including the time of my old node, I've been running a LN node for 18+ months now.

I believe you are selling your inbound too cheap. I have a dynamic fee structure, so if the sats is all on my side, I have a low fee, and if it's all remote, the fees are high (all automatically handled of course). I also try to re-balance my sink channels (normally public channels such as Bitfinex, Kraken, Nicehash etc) so i can be a reliable routing node.

My node has a total capacity of ~16 BTC with 103 channels. So I have less channels than you, but girther ones I guess.

I'm well in profit by now, and the hardware investment has finally payed off due to the recent rise in BTC/USD.

My last 30 days P%L is as follows (including fees for force-closed channels)



323k sats in profit over the last month is OK I guess.
