Is opening channels a big drawback of lightning?
Lets say you are a merchant, and you want to accept sats on the lightning network. You decide to run your own node. Who do you connect to? Why would they connect to you?
Or lets say, you are me, and planning to make a home node for yourself and immediate friends and family. Who do you connect to? Why would they connect to you?
I know there are LSPs but they seem to be expensive for the first setup. Arent they? Maybe for a merchant can be an option, but for a home node?
Before sleep thoughts.
GN!
