I want to see a TOP 10 or Tiop 100 of those nodes that have:
  • the biggest number of failed payments
  • the shitiest ping time
  • the less time they were online
  • the most clogged number of HTLCs they had
Make the Hall of Shame of nodes. Because right now in LN not who earn more is the most important thing, but RELIABILITY and Up time so bitcoin users can do their payments in a good environment.
We are not in this to see who earn more, but to FUCK THE BANKS and not to fuck each others. Once we get rid of all banksters we will have plenty of time to compete in which one can earn more sats from routing.
Alex and all LN devs should focus more on RELIABILITY not on profitability. because right now LN is NOT working as it should be. And exactly because of this obsession with "who earn more from routing".
Here is a proof of non-reliability and I just started testing all LN wallets and nodes. To see what is needed.
Can some LN dev explain me why this happen? Not about who earn more in fees...

#1, 5, 9, and 14 are playing LOOP arbitrage game. They don't route much other than LOOP.

Much of the year I charged 0/0 for non-corporate peers. Their force closes caused by their arbitrage spam programs caused me to charge a 100-200 ppm to offset. Keeping fees low and closing idle channels had exponential results. Many operators refuse to close a channel and reopen to rebalance on chain and would rather have 5 mil sats sit on one side for 6 months than pay 223 sats to reload and re-earn. I can close and re-open channels several times an hour to keep my peers sats moving for them. Unfortunately, many nodes exist merely to exist and have never spent a sat on LN. once you make a purchase and pay some bills and see how pathfinding works beyond a circular rebalance you become invested in developing a peer set that can support your personal economy. Some very good peers here. The interesting thing about Loopers is you can peer with them and since they have so many peers pushing sats to Loop you can easily get payments out because they charge so little to go the opposite direction from Loop.
