What is more interesting to measure is your gains. Every other metric can be gamed. Afaik circular payments add to both routed sats and fees, for instance.
No. Increments in outgoing liquidity (plus on-chain funds) - assuming that you do not add/remove funds yourself. Your earned fees may actually increase at the same time as your outgoing liquidity decreases. This situation may arise during circular payments, for instance - perhaps depending on implementation and circular payment method. I've run a lightning node for some time, and while I have accumulated fees I definitely operate it at a loss. My motivation for running it is however not to be profitable (in sat terms).
I bought a start9 server pure. I ran a raspi for a couple years but it shit the bed, so I wanted something more reliable. The only other costs are opening and closing channels (mining fees)
Transactions routed: 2.6k
Sats routed: 26.5M
Fees earned: 3.6k
Goals!! Well done
Awesome I should post my stats haha
do it!
Hmmm
still a Tor only node... with channels bellow 3M sats. worthless for routing peers
I was shilling your guides to some shitcoiners last night
so you make me more enemies ?

you can lead horses to water something something
maybe they will make up some

Gains as in my fees earned?

ok, what do you use to measure increments in outgoing liquidity? Is that shown somewhere in Thunderhub, or somewhere else?
You can see your outgoing liquidity in RTL, for instance. I don't use LND, so can't really help out with the technical details.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! May I ask how much it costs for you to run your LN node? Are you using a VPS or something like Start9?

I cant wait til this is me
it's very empowering. Go for it!
Pretty good
