What is more interesting to measure is your gains. Every other metric can be gamed.
Afaik circular payments add to both routed sats and fees, for instance.

Gains as in my fees earned?

No. Increments in outgoing liquidity (plus on-chain funds) - assuming that you do not add/remove funds yourself.
Your earned fees may actually increase at the same time as your outgoing liquidity decreases. This situation may arise during circular payments, for instance - perhaps depending on implementation and circular payment method.
I've run a lightning node for some time, and while I have accumulated fees I definitely operate it at a loss. My motivation for running it is however not to be profitable (in sat terms).

ok, what do you use to measure increments in outgoing liquidity? Is that shown somewhere in Thunderhub, or somewhere else?

You can see your outgoing liquidity in RTL, for instance. I don't use LND, so can't really help out with the technical details.

Thanks for sharing! May I ask how much it costs for you to run your LN node? Are you using a VPS or something like Start9?
reply
21 sats \ 0 replies \ @NEEDcreations OP 22h
I bought a start9 server pure. I ran a raspi for a couple years but it shit the bed, so I wanted something more reliable. The only other costs are opening and closing channels (mining fees)
