Yea, not a bad idea for privacy if you have more than one 24/7 machine running. Remember to provide routing hints in your invoice when you’re receiving on your private node though, or else you’ll always get the no route error.

Good idea re private node. I think  I'll do that too.

LN Node managers, do you use some kind of channel advisor? Is it public?

Here, hear! I started down the same path as you, trying to make a “profitable” lightning node, and eventually realized it’s not easily achieved.

Now I also just have less but bigger channels and keep my fees low. I also have a private node that has a private channel with my routing node, and all spends from the private node routes thru my routing node.
