Yes, true, but I'm done with paying 🫠.
This last event cured me from trying to run a routing node. I've done it for 2-3 years just to feel good about helping the network, i've paid for openings, force closes, rebalancing, loops, and it really doesn't add up for me. Was fun, learned some stuff, but It's way too painful losing so many sats for nothing.
I'm not using it for sales or anything, other than routing i only used it for my personal transactions.
I'm down to 22 channels now, 3 of my partners are usually offline so 19. I'm gonna keep the channels and the node up 24/7 like always for any forwards to go through.
But I'm done with the rest, i've reached my breaking point lol.
