74 sats \ 3 replies \ @siggy47 30 Jun 2022 \ on: Lightning Routing Nodes Are Setting All-Time Records bitcoin
For whatever it's worth, my modest little tor only node had a terrible June. Routing was way down. I guess it's a different story for the big guys.
Tor was/is under DDos attack. This may shift ln traffic from tor to cleaner.

Interesting, did you make any changes or notice any particular peers were seeing reduced sat flow?

I just did a few loop outs to open a large (for me) channel. I also use umbrel and did the dreaded .05 upgrade, but the issues I encountered were minor compared to others I read about. Peers seemed unaffected, but most of them are larger players than me. Also, I want to be accurate. My node performed as usual for the first half of the month, then really slowed down in tandem with the btc price drop. I'm sure no real conclusions can be drawn from my single observation.
