My LN node has been very active today, no idea why. I usually see these movements when the price is fluctuating heavily, that's not the case today though.
I had my 2nd biggest forward ever happening today as well. Here's the notification from my telegram bot
💰 Forwarded 0.41071514 bfx-lnd0 → LOOP.
110k sats in profit today. I wish I could keep that pace. Normally, my monthly profits varies between 200 to 300k sats.
well 3300k sats vs 300k is a nice goal.
for a months earnings.
Yeah, I wish. Now, most of my expensive sink channels are drained and need to be rebalanced.
Take that ~0.4btc forward to LOOP that I mentioned earlier. Now my node will try to rebalance that channel with a max-cost of 85% of its profits, every 5 minutes, until all the sats are on my end again.
How much BTC do you have in your channels over all ?
At the moment,
11 btc. A year or so back, it was over 20 btc, but I've downsized it lately. I try to keep my node fairly balanced, so half the btc or so belongs to me.
This is all public information btw, you just need where to look.
Anyway, I keep most of my stash in cold storage, away from prying eyes.
