you only need a always online node if you're running a routing node, otherwise it just needs to be online when you use it
That is good to know! Most guides for setting up lighting is under the assumption you are doing it to route. I love that Mutiny is thinking about all this from the actual end users perspective. I want explore lightning but have no interest in routing myself at least not at first. I have used it for payments here and there.
I wonder what are some other advantages of running a LN node if you're not routing? I think you can also do lnurl auth from a node which does not even require having sats. I am sure people will continue to discover all kinds of fun ways to use Lightning.
Exciting times ahead!
