yay, yes, my #albyhub is actually routing payments i set it to 3 sats per payment routed, and there is now 61 sats more (not sure how it isn't exactly 60 then lol) i guess it just takes time for the channel fees to propagate and start getting work... looks like i have routed around 60ksats in the last 12 hours i calculated that if i can get 400 sats/day that this covers my monthly subscription and my lightning node is basically paying for itself so i think i'm close to 1/3 of that target right now, hopefully i can pull 400sat/day and it stays reasonably balanced, there is 6 channels so i figure that every so often i can invoice myself a few hundred sats and it will shift things around mostly in favor of better balance
actually, 61 sats more on spend balance and 61 on receiving side lol, so it looks like i'm not actually getting fees paid at all alby guys say "it's not supposed to be set up this way" and i think that is code for "it doesn't actually charge for routing because we haven't tested it but we haven't removed the UI for it even though it does nothing" meh, i don't mind really... unless it unbalances my channels badly i'll just leave it like this perhaps i shall graduate to running my own legit node later... they use LDK and it seems to be reliable, the two "rockstar" LN node implementations LND and CLN both i don't trust either the people who make them or do their reputations sound good, eclair is a nasty java crap, so, well, C++ LDK it is... but i'm in no rush at this point, just getting confident with it it's a shame nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle you stopped supporting Zap
