I have currently moved from Alby to Coinos, as I currently don't have a suitable machine to use as a node*, and the fee for their own hub thingy by far exceeds both how much I get zapped, and how much I have on the lightning wallet I use for Nostr. We'll see how long Coinos lasts.
*Also, I want to keep privacy in mind, and not link my IP to my Nostr account, which is always used through a VPN (and, yes, I'm aware that this is privacy-by-trust only), which I suppose would mean that I would have to keep the node behind VPN too, and not use it for any purpose from a non-VPN connection or with coins that have a connection to my real IP. This is too much of a headache, as I would want to use my node for other things too, and I don't want to have to have two machines. (I could use a real-life hacker and privacy-nut friend to help me, but I guess that's a contradiction - I wouldn't know, even if such a person was already my friend...)
Re: NunyaBidness (npub1vwy…zugd) 's rant on not running Lightning nodes, and maybe TheGuySwann (npub1h8n…rpev) might be interested too.
