- Wheeeere do we start... LND's bbolt database is a massive problem for large nodes like ours. Migration to postrgres was promised many years back and yet here we are still running on bbolt and regularly rebooting our node for database compaction. CLN's pay was absolutely borked until the debut of xpay just some months ago. Michael had to write our own pay plugin (called mpay obviously) to be even able to use our node for payments And we worked with Rusty and the team quite a bit to improve xpay. As of v25.02. it's usable.
- We almost never open channels, our gravity seems to be large enough so far that even large players like Binance open to us.
- As of recently, correct. We love Tor and continue serving our web app and API via Tor but Tor with Lightning is just not a great match. We witnessed so many payments getting stuck at a tor node on the route that, as harsh as it sounds, running a Lightning node on Tor is not doing anyone favors because of the unreliability of the Tor network.
