According to the Lightning Labs terminal, The Nodestrich ♾️ (the node) is still not profitable after four years. In fact, in terms of routing and channel fees, it’s over 1 million sats in the red, which I attribute to some force closures during the high-fee environment over a year ago, not to mention some dumb mistakes I made along the way.

No one said attempting to earn passive yield would be easy, but it’s been a great education so far.
