Soul Reaver on Nostr: If you're thinking about mobile/remote nodes I'd like to warn you that I haven't ...
If you're thinking about mobile/remote nodes I'd like to warn you that I haven't experienced necessary levels of stability w/ them. Once I got my Mutiny wallet LN channel had force closed, and twice I had my Zeus on mobile device node channels force closed during getting a payment. IDK about Mutiny a lot but Zeus mobile light LN node uses a thing called neutrino mode and I found that can leave you vulnerable to forced channel closures if/when there's bad wireless latency during receiving a payment. My best guess is that the mobile wireless latency rising from wifi connection and neutrino mode is causing channels to appear down momentarily or something, which's causing force closures when someone tries to initiate payment to you. I've found a wired connection and a 7/24 online full LN node (no neutrino mode, light wallet) on a raspberry pi to be much less annoying and much more stable in terms of maintaining stable LN channels w/o force closures. Personally I used BTCPay Server's LN node functionality. to have access to underlying OS while still having an easy to setup LN node. Also Zeus LSP (lightning service provider) has expensive channel opening fees vs what you can open a channel to a known big node yourself, and worse routing fees than you can find via opening a channel yourself. I opened a channel to Kraken's node and it's nearly free to send/receive for me now.
