to run a Lightning node you need some BTC (or fractions of) to be bind in the channels. So you need first some to start with this.
So maybe all this signature campaigns will need these to get starting money to start a node.
Also at the moment, based on my experiences, the fees you will get in lightning are so low (which is not bad) so that earning money with a small node is impossible if you take in account the time you need to run, the power consumption even if you run on a small computer..
For me (at the moment) this is more for fun and learning.
But you are right. The more nodes, the more possibilities.
Also, i did not think that it will decrease the Spam in the forum as this possibility to earn some Satoshis will still exists and used. Like BTC Faucets where people still use even if the amount of time to solve the captchas is in no relation to the gain of such faucet.
Topic: Lightning Network node income? Please share some info - page 2. (Read 380 times)
I was just wondering about something, when I saw 100s of people signing up for signature and bounty campaigns for $2
payments per week, if it would not be more profitable for these people to rather host a Lightning Network node and get more
income from that?
This will boost the Lightning Network node count a lot, if earnings from this was more than the meagre $2/week they are
getting from Signature campaigns?
This will also reduce spam on this forum?
