1450 sats \ 9 replies \ @DarthCoin 2 Oct 2022 \ on: Bounty - Improving performance of Umbrel+LNDHub+Bluewallet bitcoin
The solution is simple and I wrote an extensive guide on Umbrel forum: Use Umbrel + Tailscale + lndhub https://community.getumbrel.com/t/how-to-use-umbrel-with-tailscale/
Tor is unreliable for these things and also is useless to connect over Tor to your own node. You don't trust enough yourself?
I also strongly suggest to use the LNDhub from LNbits instead of the BW one. Works much better and you have even more options and features.
I wrote several guides about that: https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/umbrel-node-lnbits https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/the-bank-of-lnbits https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lnbits-for-small-merchants https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/build-your-own-lnbits-app-server

Self hosted version is called head scale, I can't fully recommend though since I haven't used it myself. Also there is zero tier

Yes, zerotier works the same as tailscale. I mentioned tailscale because he's using umbrel that have tailscale integrated, is just 1 click and done.

Well Darth, I think you clearly provided the most helpful answer.
I'll open the promised 2 million sats channel to whatever public key you share here.

Sorry but I do not run anymore public routing nodes, only private nodes. You should use your sats to open chanels where the liquidity is needed, where you really need it, not just to make a favor or link to a friend. Running a LN node is not like Facebook to link friends...
As I wrote in these articles. And I suggest to read them an pay attention to details. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/darth-and-chewie https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/recommendations-for-ln-users https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-routing-fees-experiment

If you pick another node which you consider, for any reason, could use it, I will open it there.

Open a channel with those 2M sats to ZFR node (recommended 5M). It will help you a lot as new node. https://amboss.space/node/038fe1bd966b5cb0545963490c631eaa1924e2c4c0ea4e7dcb5d4582a1e7f2f1a5
I would not recommend to have channels with less than 5M

Deal. I have a 3M sats channel, so I'll close it and open it again with 5M :)

No. If that 3M channel is already open with a good node, just leave it. Stack more sats and open later a 5M. More channels = better.
