Re: Earning LN routing fees

Definitely.
The LN is still being tested currently. Once it is fully released and people start using it, there will be routing fees.
Currently it is more like testing how payments in the future will look like Cool

I'll be patient and wait for the Lightning Network to leave beta phase. I think it has some way to go before becoming a user-friendly second-layer solution.

I think it's going to take a lot more time to see people making money off of routing fees than it's going to take to see it being used by people. The usability is more than half there now. But it's still difficult to make money running a node.

But it's still difficult to make money running a node.

Hopefully running nodes doesn't continue to be difficult in the future. There must be some sort of incentive to run nodes unless nodes aren't that important for Lightning Network.
We don't need another cartel running Bitcoin.
