10 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 22 Sep \ on: Need 'medium' LN node operators opinion bitcoin
The balance is the key. That fact that you already have 1BTC liquidity, is quite big. For a routing node the important key is to offer same liquidity in both sides, incoming and outgoing. Is not necessary to be on each channel, but in total.
With a larger routing node I would look more into bridging the gaps to routes that are less covered. That is your "income". For example:
  • you can became a LSP for private node operators
  • you can became a swap provider

It's fine to have more inbound liquidity than outbound. That means other people have deployed their capital inefficiently. Their problem, not yours.

This is how I feel too.
I don't exactly understand OP's issue. If people want to open channels to me, fine. I don't mind having that channel unbalanced.
