6 sats \ 3 replies \ @derekross 17 Jul 2022 \ on: Zero fee routing as a donation to everyone bitcoin
I've been running a node for about a year and a half. The first 6 months I routed almost nothing. I decided that I didn't care about earning Sats, that I wanted to help facilitate global payments on the Lightning network. Helping was more valuable to me than anything. My node is small with about 20 channels, but I route about 1BTC to 1.5BTC a month.
If anyone wants to open a channel to me, I'll set fees to 0/0. Let me know.

1BTC with the size of your node is quite something. Keep up with the good work.

Thank you! Having a channel to the node "Zero Fee Routing" helps routing payments for sure!

I know the feeling, I also had quite a bump in activity when I opened a channel to Zero Fee Routing. He was actually a big inspiration to also set zero fees myself. Cheers.
