LND Automation anyone? Evidence of results?
1267 sats \ 7 comments \ @clarity 17 Sep lightning
Automation seems absolutely vital to keeping a node running (optimally). I recently watched a video on LNDG as an automation framework, and it ended with the guy making 45,000 sats a month (minus electricity probably). I'm not sure how much bitcoin was on the node, but he had probably 100 channels.
I don't see much value in having a time-consuming node to configure every day, solely for collecting channel fees. Therefore, I want anybody's node who is willing to provide guaranteed liquidity AND full access to the node, specifically through a macaroon file. I doubt anybody will provide me with that.
Does anybody have a tool they recommend for maintaining liquidity throughout all channels, with customization for specific expected uses?
I want to make a bitcoin site and show everyone in dev how to manipulate an encrypted macaroon file, all with ease and ChatGPT 4o1. But I don't want to spend time commanding the backend, which is prone to human error at the command line and stress. The other backend of the server (Postgres and Python (for now)) will be quite enough work to maintain.

Lndg was the best out there when i was still running a node. I tried many. But now, things must have gotten efficient. Market inefficiencies are gone. Hence the profit margins. Don't do it for the money. Don't waste your time rebalancing. You're just depleting some one else's node. Sats will flow where they have to.

Do your project on signet

^ This. Everyone could benefit from running a signet test node as a dev environment and to learn more about bitcoin/lightning. And almost nobody (as a percentage of the population) should run a production lightning node on mainnet :)

Just use phoenixd and forget about managing liquidity.

I use lightning terminal for fee automation and like it a lot, much less resource consuming than LNDG. But it lacks auto-rebalance atm.
