Look, Darth means well he's just abrasive. Every new SN member learns it one way or another. Don't try to fight him or provoke him with GFY. He knows 10x more than you or I will ever. Just read his advice/instructions and learn at your own pace. Just because someone posts/comments does not mean you have to engage. You won't get a medal for it. Setting up a node and learning how to be more self sufficient is an award in itself.

I'm always learning. But when someone is rude and condescending, I will troll them back to the best of my ability! God bless !

Good on you, but the other commenter is right that Darth is a legend and hopefully you can still take his other advices to heart despite having beef.

information can be either accepted or ignored; the emotions that certain words or certain personas trigger inside of u are going to result in ur either accepting the correct information, or ignoring it at ur own peril; one cannot escape the consequences of ignoring that which is, i.e. the current reality of the situation;

note: i am not a staunch defender of any stacker personality here, but a follower of common sense

Life will be much more enjoyable when you learn to brush off trolling and not engage. In a blink of an eye, no one will remember the Darth vs Need battle of 2025.

Well, the method is right (yey for data) but the intent is a bit off imho. DarthCoin is an entitled bully who preaches left and right. I read the thread that this is motivated by. It's total nonsense and they're just making random claims with neither explanation nor data. The best you get are analogies and hand-waving. They also completely misunderstood your post - which I interpreted as your way of praising SN. I thought it was fine. DarthCoin dumping their problems with ln on you is just nuts. If their goal is to maximize some metric for themselves, it's their problem to work at. Sure, they can influence and yell, but you can just ignore that and miss nothing. Nodes are running for different reasons. Some for routing, others for data collection, yet others to counter data collection, and some just for fun. Like it should be.

That alone is an example of how OP have no idea how to run a routing node. That shows exactly that is a Tor only node. That means is a total shit routing node. Nobody sane with a good public routing node will want to connect to Tor only nodes. Is like shooting yourself in your own foot.

I've seen many plebs confused that a personal node could also be a routing node. TOTALLY WRONG.

I do not have to provide any more data to support my words, just looking into his node amboss page and you could see how wrong he allocate liquidity.

You have no idea about how to run public routing nodes.

I don't know what to make of this. Are you working with engagement farming at SN? I'm kind of new here and will take your bait. If your critique is of the node being shown as off-line, that really is just nonsense. The indicator shows off-line status as soon as it's configured and one fails to send a ping to their API within some specified time. These pings do not even use the lightning network! I actually send my pings via tor just for the heck of it, even though my node has clearnet addresses as well. As far as I've gathered there are at least a few nodes with quite some capacity that is tor only. Idk how they do for routing, as I have not seen any data. Yes, traffic over tor is slower - but how much does a tor-only routing node in a path actually impact payments? I'd need data for that. Even if the impact is significant it doesn't mean much more than this insight being input to what you want to do. So, sorry mate. If you want people outside you congregation to listen - you do need data.

a short reminder for you...

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @DarthCoin 20 Oct

I'd need data for that

just watch your node (if you run such thing). Tor only nodes will always have lost connection with peers not only that are slow. That will have a huge impact in routing payments and peers soon will close the channels with your shity Tor only node and avoid your routes.

That is a fact confirmed by many routing nodes runners.

I'll work on getting my clearnet address up and running. Do you have a guide for it?

I wonder how many of those 20 txs were in fact rebalancing routes from other nodes using your weak node routes. You better stay quiet for a while and observe your node and reflect more about what did I said to you in the previous post.

0 sats \ 5 replies \ @Undisciplined 19 Oct

Why does it matter if they're for rebalancing?

17 sats \ 4 replies \ @DarthCoin 19 Oct

Somebody else is using your cheap routes and liquidity to adjust their liquidity, obtaining better profits. It's a trick of professional public node runners, that plebs ignore it. They are literally used. Moving liquidity means profits in sats in the public routing world. Each route is a potential gain. But if you do not know how to do it properly, others will take advantage of you.

And this is what I am trying to warn OP, but he ignores my advice and get cocky...
