View submission: Lightning Network Megathread
I have questions related to this, just as an average tech / cs geek:
If I wanted to host a mainnet lightning node once it's ready, is it possible?
If so, would an Atom box be good enough?
Is it also necessary to run as a full node / are they related?
Is it also necessary to "seed" the LN / channel(s) I'd host with actual BTC (presumably my own)?
I would be interested in doing this to support the community. Any small fees I may collect would be a bonus (likely to make up for bandwidth and power consumption). I assume another bonus would be making my own lightning transactions cheaper by using my own channel as the entry-point... if I understand it correctly?
TIA for any enlightenment here! :-)
There's nothing here!
