So since my proposal for a signature campaign management service a week or two ago
didn't get enough interest, I was wondering since I see people come here all the time complaining about the disk space and bandwidth required to run Bitcoin Core, if these people would pay a small amount of money ($5 or $10 a month) to run their own full node + block explorer + a managed BTCPay payment gateway.
Obviously, bitcoind wallet functionality will be disabled as I'm not interested in being liable for people's money, so the purpose of this service is to let you query data from your own private node without dealing with very tiny rate limits that block explorer APIs give you.
I could also throw in LN nodes if there's enough interest in that, maybe even an LN explorer if software for that exists
Edits:
Looking at "Bitcoin Technical Support" board alone, there are few people who have problem setting full node (with/without additional software which rely on Bitcoin Core). As a geek i would do it myself, but few people would be interested with your service (after all, there's 3rd party to configure/host BTCpay server).
The primary focus isn't about making it easier to set up this software, it's to handle its massive resource requirements while making the nodes highly available with long uptime.
Also, What are these 3rd party services you are referring to? I could only find
