So I'll need at least 1 ₿ to run a public routing node.
At least 20 channels x 5M 丰 = 100M 丰 = 1 ₿
Maybe in a few years I can afford a public node. What do you recommend me to do with my tiny node?
No worry, not everybody have to run a public routing node.
You can still use your node for:
- running the bitcoin core to validate and broadcast your own onchain txs, using Electrum server for all other SPV wallets you use (Electrum, Sparrow, Specter, mobile wallets that need a core /SPV/neutrino node).
- still can run some private channels with your LN node, only for private use. In time you can expand little by little with more public channels. You don't have to open in just one day all those 20 channels. You can open one per month for example. Wherever you have enough sats.
- learn more about running a LN node, install some more apps like btcpay and LNbits, play around. But keep in mind its reduced capabilities.
Remember: don't use all your sats you have in your node. No, there's no risk to lose them. In LN channels there's no way to lose them, only if you lose your node keys.
But is good to split your BTC stash in 3 parts: hodl, cache, spending.
