Welcome aboard, mini Darth. Give at least a week for Big Darth's exodus to set in, for courtesy and all that.

I'm closing channels with a low rating as per https://github.com/C-Otto/lnd-manageJ/blob/main/rating.md. Keeping them open doesn't serve any advantage, because the sats don't move. The channel is well-managed (0 fees, lots of good inbound liquidity), but that's not enough. If my peer doesn't have attractive outbound liquidity, even the best managed channel is useless.

Are you running a node? Are you running a routine node? In terms of channel management, I'd say Otto is probably one of the experts...

I just posted a question that does not apply to you as you are still running a node. But as I was writing out possible reasons to stop running a node, I wondered if any of those reasons would apply to you. More specifically, do you worry about regulations that might affect you, as a very well-known non-anonymous node runner, requiring LN node runners to acquire money transmitter licenses?
No need to answer if you deem this to be none of my business.
