I just posted an article about why I have closed my very old #lightning #bitcoin node.

Main reasons are:

- Too much work and time spent maintaining the node.
- Meager earnings.
- High technical knowledge requirements if you really want to have more than 5 or 10 channels and resolve technical issues that will undoubtedly arise in the years to come.
- Limited mobile options (forces you to set up a reverse proxy with a VPS in some datacenter if you want to use clearnet).
- Excessive risk, money is at stake and hardware can fail, or a bug in the software could arise.
- Limited automation options (the only one that works well is CLBOSS and it's only available for CLIGHTNING).
- Periodic headaches.

Have a look at the article:
