@Alex Bosworth report on  Feb 19, 2019 that his node routing more than $10,000/month and getting paid 0.25% for routing
if you buy hardware for $150 and routing more than $10,000/month you can have ROI after 4 months (lucky case)

0.25% = $25 on $10k
you better not have more than 4 channels or else closing 4 channels each month to reaggregate will cost you 4x$3 to open and 4x$3 to close ($24)

so good luck operating a route with only 4 channels and breaking even

hey thanks for your time. Why do i have to close and re open the channels every month?
