Congrats on your node! Would you mind sharing your Amboss page? I'm running one too and I love it. Though I'm not making much in fees. Set it up mostly to learn how things work and get the OCEAN pool rewards. It's fun, but the fact that it's an hot wallet situation does stress me out a bit, so I won't keep it a lot there. I wonder how operators of bigger nodes handle that anxiety. I guess it just comes with the territory. Anyway, I've been hearing people say that sending 100 dollars in sats onchain is actually cheaper now than using Lightning. Haven't dug into it much myself, but with my four channels I often can't send more than 25k sats in one go. Probably should open more channels, but I'm hesitant to lock up more sats in the node. We will see!
