Hello jrian. Good thread. I am waiting for some hardware to arrive to start working on an LN node myself. Saw your post history and it seems like you will be a good source for information and help, in case i need any.

So I am doing you a solid for the amount of sMerit I had to spare. Remember this when i ask for your help..LOL.. Thanks in advance.

Also, would you care to explain the reason behind contemplating about becoming the biggest LN node. Wouldn't that be a lot of spare BTC plus you'd need to have an equal amount of parties interested to open a channel with you too (with some balance committed from the other side).

Is that even possible until you are, say, an exchange or a major seller?
