I agree. However, we're not just targeting routing nodes. We see the promise of Lightning for enabling businesses of all kinds.

While routing nodes play an important role in the network, routing may end up similar to mining - expenses for routing will routinely rise to the cost of production.

And importantly, nodes that are not focused on routing have key business needs for enabling their own payments flow, and they won't want to be thinking about channel health -- they're focused on their own unique business challenges.

I'm looking to get in touch with anyone running an LND node. If you're running an LND node, drop an invoice here as a good faith gesture, and let's chat about your node ops workflow.

Hi Ln folks, I'm John from Encrypted Energy. I'm building a service that helps automate your node operations. Anyone here running a LND node and need a hand with anything?
