I have been following the situation on nostr. The general consensus now is that the node is okay.
I know. I didn't post this note as a PSA, but more like an advice for node runners.
Is not enough just to have a 24/7 online node because you see it so, but also to be reliable. Many people think that if you open 10-20 channels with well known nodes it means you are also a good node. That is totally false presumption.
There are many factors that can make a LN node unreliable:
- Tor only connection
- bad maintenance
- data loss because of faulty hardware / not proper hardware. For a serious LN public node is always recommended to have ECC memory that can avoid a lot of data loss, especially for so much I/O is doing a LN node.
- faulty software, not updating / syncing well, bad time response
And some other factors.
So, node runners out there, be aware how you maintain your LN node.
