Every Bitcoiner should NOT run a Lightning node.
Running a good routing node takes a lot of care and putting up a half-assed node with bad internet connection actually harms the network more than it does any good.
You will very likely not see any Return On Investment either.
Use a private node wallet, like Blixt Wallet, OBW, Breez and Phoenix, that opens private channels and does not route payments for others.
You don’t need to be a routing node to use Lightning.
