As already be said, maybe the Steak 'n Shake case could help, I look into the company and I don't think that LN is an option for them, the business seems to use the fiat rails as a moat.
Are they already using bitcoin?
With a LN wallet on both end (consumer/provider) the company will be obsolete.
I am a little tired of the UX guys :) <start rant>, they forget almost all the shitty paper work that allow the "seamless product experience", go to the bank or use a shitty bank app that spy on you, leave all your personal data and more, receive a card an then start using it, try to recover o revert a txn, fuck that ux.
We need people that understand what a fuck is going on an WHY we do the work, the electricity analogy doesn't take into account that if you are a moron you can be killed to put your fingers in the UX power plug, but most of us are not that stupid.
I want a lion as enduser not a sheep.
True adoption happens when when people get out of the cave and understand the WHY. <end rant>
Wow, looking into my node in relation with the rest, nice numbers for a tor shitty node, a LOOT of info there.
The new nerdaxe software has a nice feature to "split" the hashrate between two pools, you could split 80% to pool mining and 20% to solo for example.
Indeed, so... I research a little and LDK doesn't have that feature :( ... you could try to use the seed with other software in order to obtain the address (derivation paths) and have the feature to sign messages, long shoot and I have no idea how to do it, but that's the path I would follow if I am in the same situation that you.
This is the way to go if you start from scratch, in case you already have some sat pointing to an address from you couldn't sign, you can wait until reach the min amount to withdraw, or focus in see how could you sign with an specific address from your backend node.
Next time, sign with an address you can control (sparrow is a good default) and as darth said, the bolt12 invoices is from one part of the process and is independent of the address.
Look into this: https://github.com/getAlby/hub/issues/162
You need to check if your node has the ability to sign a msg with an specific address (the one you use in ocean), I don't know if albyhub support that:
lncli wallet addresses signmessage --address <YOUR_OCEAN_BITCOIN_ADDRESS> --msg <PASTE_UNSIGNED_MESSAGE_HERE>```Find the item #972730
From my point of view, "capital" is the key feature for a routing LN at this stage, even for a shitty Tor node. I am talking about a lot of capital, with 10BTC or more you could do what ever you want, easy.
- Open/Close channels to Loop/fixedfloat/okx/bfx (2k/3k ppm)
- Open channels to wallets (500ppm)
- Suck liquidity for smaller nodes
That's the setup that almost any "profitable" node is doing, look into the close/open channel and you will see a pattern. We are not in the stage when we see real traffic, those exchanges are the ones that pull or push liquidity.
Can you do a better job with less capital, yes... but you are going to play with the 5% of what is in your control, the 95% is in your capital.
If you want to learn, it's ok to setup a routing LN but read @DarthCoin guides, maybe you don't need or want routing node.
You can search here a lot of guides and examples of noderunners to learn from, I can't find the guide that explain how to setup a node with 0.5BTC, it was a good one.
Don't expect to be profitable, maybe you can for a couple of months but the risk is high.
If you node is Antariksh ... you have a lot of work to do.
